  • Insert: iptables -I

Examples[edit]

KVM VNC remote viewer
iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -i eno1 -p tcp --dport 5900 -j DNAT --to 127.0.0.1:5900
sysctl -w net.ipv4.ip_forward=1
sysctl -p /etc/sysctl.conf


Port forwarding[edit]

  • iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -p tcp -d IP_DESTINATION --dport 2222 -j MASQUERADE
  • echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward
  • Block all output traffic: iptables -A OUTPUT -o ethXXX -j DROP
  • Open a port: iptables -I INPUT -p tcp --dport XXX -j ACCEPT

Block all but a range[edit]

  • iptables -I OUTPUT -m iprange --dst-range <remote_ip> -j ACCEPT
  • iptables -I INPUT -m iprange --src-range <remote_ip> -j ACCEPT

  • netfilter-persistent save

Block all but one IP[edit]

  • iptables -I OUTPUT -d <remote_ip> -j ACCEPT
  • iptables -I INPUT -s <remote_ip> -j ACCEPT
  • iptables -I OUTPUT -d <remote_ip> -j ACCEPT
  • iptables -I INPUT -s <remote_ip> -j ACCEPT
  • iptables -P INPUT DROP
  • iptables -P OUTPUT DROP

Allow ssh connections only from specific IPs[edit]

  • iptables -A INPUT -p tcp --dport 22 -s YourIP -j ACCEPT
  • iptables -A INPUT -p tcp --dport 22 -j DROP
  • netfilter-persistent save

Clear iptables rules[edit]
