Ubuntu IP Tables (Firewall)

When setting up an Ubuntu server, you'll want to establish basic security including a firewall to only allow certain types of requests, and to allow only certain types of responses. This code will:

  • Flush your current firewall
  • Because it's our server and we're not hosting other people's stuff (like a shared server), we'll allow all output
  • Allow input requests for SSH, Port 80 and 443 (Web and TLS (SSL))
  • Log bad requests with the prefix "iptables denied:"
  • Then save these rules to a file called /etc/iptables.up.rules
