Opening Ports on your Linux server via iptables

To open ports via local tables you will need to have command line access to your server. Please login to your server via SSH as the root user and run the following commands:

To open the firewall for port 80 (Web Server)

root@hostname# iptables -I INPUT -p tcp --dport 80 -j ACCEPT
root@hostname# iptables -I OUTPUT -p tcp --dport 80 -j ACCEPT

root@hostname# service iptables save

Notice that I ran the command twice, once for INPUT and again for OUTPUT. You can change the port and/or the protocol if required. Some examples are below. *Make sure to run the "service iptables save" command to save the newly added rules.

root@hostname# iptables -I INPUT -p tcp --dport 65656 -j ACCEPT

root@hostname# iptables -I INPUT -p udp --dport 53 -j ACCPT

root@hostname# iptables -I OUTPUT -p udp --dport 4431 -j ACCEPT
