After you add the rules and issue the 'iptables-save' command, you want those rules to remain there after a reboot. This is a bit trickier to do than on a RH based system. Here is one way:
1. Save your iptables to a file using the following command:
Code:
iptables-save > /etc/iptables.conf
2. Then edit the /etc/network/interfaces file by adding the following line right after 'iface eth0 inet static':
Code:
pre-up iptables-restore < /etc/iptables.conf
That should do it!
This is also how you change the firewall rule on Debian, essentially restarting the firewall.
A good how-to is also located here: http://wiki.debian.org/iptables
I had never heard of AYK Solutions before, but they had an awesome deal I couldn't pass up on WHT. So far the service has been exceptional, and the server is rock solid. I'll be moving my other servers here soon!
I recently switched to AYK Solutions from Softlayer for my dedicated server requirements. I received a much better specification server at significantly reduced cost from what Softlayer could offer me, with many of the previously 'extra' features at Softlayer included in the base price offered by AYK. The support was second to none, and they were extremely helpful in transferring all of my old server accounts over for no additional fee whatsoever.
AYK provide a very good value product, and always in a professional manner. I have used several hosting companies over the past 17 years. During that time I occasionally needed help with a variety of minor setup issues. Only AYK gave quick and helpful answers. I highly recommend them.
