IPTABLES BASICS

Iptables is a basic component of linux, mainly used in firewall applications, such as prohibiting an IP access, or prohibiting some ports to improve the security of the website.

In general, the system will be installed by default. If it is not installed, you can install it yourself.

$ yum install iptables

Code:
$ iptables -F

$ iptables-save

Code:
$ iptables -L -n
