Web Hosting Talk : Web Hosting Main Forums : Hosting Security and Technology : Need to include some rules in my firewall

[1webhost]

Hi,
I have a dedicated server at thePlanet.com for wich I had a company to set up a firewall.
However to allow thePlanet to access the server I have to inplement the following rules in my firewall.

iptables -N plnt_in
iptables -N plnt_out
iptables -I INPUT 1 -j plnt_in
iptables -I OUTPUT 1 -j plnt_out
iptables -A plnt_in -s 12.96.160.0/24 -j ACCEPT
iptables -A plnt_in -s 67.19.0.0/24 -j ACCEPT
iptables -A plnt_in -s 70.84.160.0/24 -j ACCEPT
iptables -A plnt_out -d 12.96.160.0/24 -j ACCEPT
iptables -A plnt_out -d 67.19.0.0/24 -j ACCEPT
iptables -A plnt_out -d 70.84.160.0/24 -j ACCEPT

Anyone how can explain for me how to do this?

Thank you.

Just run those commands in ssh and the rules are added. Depending on what "firewall" (most likely a script you run) depends on when/if those rules will be erased.

Well thats the temp solution only, cause after reboot they will be wiped so if i remember there is something called iptables.save file on the system where you can save to rules.
