IPTABLES to Oracle Cloud port 80 and 443 open

If you need to open up ports 80 and 443, on file /etc/iptables/rules.v4 just add

-A INPUT -p tcp -m state --state NEW -m multiport --dports 80,443 -j ACCEPT

directly below

-A INPUT -p tcp -m state --state NEW -m tcp --dport 22 -j ACCEPT

And reboot OR run bellow

sudo /sbin/iptables-restore < /etc/iptables/rules.v4

Thanks for the suggestion @11k

Another way

See that some lines of the rules.v4 file are commented with # at the beginning

rules.v4

# CLOUD_IMG: This file was created/modified by the Cloud Image build process
# iptables configuration for Oracle Cloud Infrastructure

# See the Oracle-Provided Images section in the Oracle Cloud Infrastructure
# documentation for security impact of modifying or removing these rule

this is not working.. getting following error:

iptables-restore v1.8.7 (legacy): Couldn't load target `$':No such file or directory

Have you found the solution?

I am trying to open my port 2333. I have tried everything even flushing my IP table to make sure that nothing is being blocked.
I do have a service running on this port but somehow unable to open ports.
I do a have a backup of IP table rules. If someone could figure out why it's not working?

I just had to do was restart server 💀

Thank you.
