You can view iptables entries by line with command:
iptables -L INPUT -n --line-numbers
Example:

root@tests:~# iptables -L INPUT -n –line-numbers
Chain INPUT (policy ACCEPT)
num  target     prot opt source               destination
1    ACCEPT     tcp  —  0.0.0.0/0            192.168.1.100       tcp dpt:22
2   ACCEPT     tcp  —  0.0.0.0/0            192.168.1.100       tcp dpt:80
3    ACCEPT     tcp  —  0.0.0.0/0            192.168.1.100       tcp dpt:443
4    ACCEPT     tcp  —  0.0.0.0/0            192.168.1.100       tcp dpt:21
5   ACCEPT     all  —  127.0.0.1            0.0.0.0/0
6   ACCEPT     all  —  192.168.1.100        0.0.0.0/0
7   ACCEPT     icmp —  0.0.0.0/0            0.0.0.0/0
8   ACCEPT     all  —  192.168.4.0/24       0.0.0.0/0
9   DROP       all  —  0.0.0.0/0            0.0.0.0/0           state NE

You’ll get the list of all INPUT entries.  Look at the number on the left  then use the following command to delete :

Valic —  January 27, 2011 — 1 Comment

For more secure server, we have to close some ports to users.

If need access to this ports, we can give permission to our IP address.  Please dont forget, “iptables” can be block all IP address but when you restart the server it will be clean all of this commands.

Examples:

1. Closing FTP port except xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx

iptables -t filter -I INPUT 1 -p tcp -s ! xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx –dport 21 -j REJECT –reject-with icmp-host-prohibited

2. Closing SSH port except xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
