Hi, i currently have a gateway between the internet and private network with the following iptable rules.
iptables -P INPUT DROP
iptables -P OUTPUT DROP
iptables -P FORWARD ACCEPT
There are some problems with this, i cannot connect to the gateway via SSH or HTTP.
Ive tried these rule but with no luck.
iptables -A INPUT -p tcp --sport 22 -j ACCEPT
iptables -A INPUT -p udp --sport 22 -j ACCEPT
iptables -A INPUT -p tcp --sport 80 -j ACCEPT
iptables -A INPUT -p udp --sport 80 -j ACCEPT
Does anyone know the correct syntax so i can do this. I have an apache web server running on port 80 on the gateway. Would nice to be able to connect to it :-).
If i remove the rules I.E iptable -P INPUT/OUTPUT ACCEPT i can SSH & HTTP into my gateway.
iptables -F
iptables -P INPUT DROP
iptables -P FORWARD ACCEPT
iptables -P OUTPUT DROP
If i then run the following commands then i can gain access to the gateway?
Is this the only way to do it . . . iptables -A INPUT -p tcp -i eth0 --dport 22 -j ACCEPT
iptables -A OUTPUT -p tcp -o eth0 --sport 22 -j ACCEPT
iptables -A INPUT -p tcp -i eth0 --sport 22 -j ACCEPT
iptables -A OUTPUT -p tcp -o eth0 --dport 22 -j ACCEPT
