iptables on a fedora VPS machine

piforever · 03-28-2006, 05:24 PM

Hi,

I just rented a fedora VPS. The installation was minimal so I spent sometime configuring/installing the software. I installed iptables but no rules are defined, so I am looking for fedora 4 iptables default rules since I'm used to it and I do not want to use those sites that help you to build your own scripts since I am not an expert in that. Can you guys help me??

Regards,

I dont know why I always answer my questions!!!!

Anyway,

The answer is by installing "system-config-securitylevel-tui" if it is not already installed.

Then run this command from the shell

Code:

/usr/bin/system-config-securitylevel-tui

you will see a screen with options to enable/disable the FW and customize it to open any special ports (e.g. 22,80, 443...etc).

In putty the screen was clear and colorful, but using secureCRT the screen was messy! I am doing all this remotely on my Fedora VPS. Now I have the default FW settings.
