I have an iptables rule which block specific ports and specific icmp and all udp. Everything is successfully connected and i can retrieve data packets, but when i add the last rule for my chain which is.. $IPTABLES -A INPUT -d $MYIP -s 0/0 -j REJECT Yes its secure every port i have from 1 to 65000, but outgoing packets from my server could not get out. Which is wrong? I'm attaching my rule if ever you want to see it. -- Thanks, Louie...
