Next, allow traffic to a specific port to enable SSH connections with the following. You can check that the rule was added using the same sudo iptables -L as before.
sudo iptables -A INPUT -m conntrack -ctstate ESTABLISHED,RELATED -j ACCEPT Iptables can track the state of the connection, use the command below to allow established connections. To begin using iptables, you should first add the rules for allowed inbound traffic for the services you require. The latter is often the recommended approach, as it allows pre-emptively blocking traffic, rather than having to reactively reject connections that should not be attempting to access your cloud server. Adding rulesįirewalls can commonly be configured in one of the two ways, either set the default rule to accept and then block any unwanted traffic with specific rules, or by using the rules to define allowed traffic and blocking everything else. Each chain also has its policy setting which determines how the traffic is handled if it doesn’t match any specific rules, by default it’s set to accept. The chain names indicate which traffic the rules in each list will be applied to, input is for any connections coming to your cloud server, output is any leaving traffic and forward for any pass through. This will print out a list of three chains, input, forward and output, like the empty rules table example output below. Try UpCloud for free!

The kernel module currently used for iptables only applies to IPv4 traffic, to configure firewall rules for IPv6 connections instead use ip6tables, which respond to the same command structures as iptables. The user-space application program iptables allows configuring the tables provided by the Linux kernel firewall, as well as the chains and rules it stores.
