ipTables blocking memcached
iptables, memcached, ubuntu
Solution
iptables rules are evaluated in the order that they're given. Just switch the order of those two lines.
Problem
I have one server running memcached and another server that should be able to connect to the memcached server. memcached is set up to listen to 0.0.0.0:5666 This allows for anyone to connect to it so i want to block the port 5666 for everyone except the other server. I thought this would do it: ``` iptables -A INPUT -p tcp --dport 5666 -j REJECT iptables -A INPUT -p tcp -s 79.xxx.xxx.xxx --dport 5666 -j ACCEPT ``` But it did not, now i can not connect at all from the other server, before it worked fine.
