Hello, I am trying to set up a firewall on my server and am having trouble with one of my iptables rules.
I can set up all the rules that I like, but I can't seem to get this one to work: # iptables -A INPUT -p udp --dport 53 -j ACCEPT (or the OUTPUT equivelent) When I add this to my INPUT chain, and I type: "iptables -L" It waits for 10 - 15 seconds to display the first rule, then 10 - 15 seconds for the second rule...etc etc etc. I have a LOT of rules. When I add this to my OUTPUT (and only the OUTPUT) chain, when I type: "iptables -L" it displays all my INPUT, and FORWARD rules instantly, but then pauses on the first OUTPUT rule like it does on the INPUT chain. I have no trouble if I set the policy of the chain in question to ACCEPT, I have no trouble. Am I missing something? I NEED to let domain into my box. What am I doing wrong?
