Thanks. Webmin is great and very easy to install. You'll need to open TCP port 10000 (the default) to be able to access the Webmin interface. Good tip. Thanks.

I have been using Linux, IPtables, and Elastix for years and have also utilized a config as above. I would recommend for anyone whether your a veteran of everything *NIX or not and especially if your a novice to install and use webmin as it makes day-to-day management extremely simply and straight forward especially for IPTables config.

Editing the iptables file directly is not the 'correct' way to setup iptables (really it's better to use the iptables command) but it's a quick and easy hack. If you're not doing any ip traffic accounting using iptables then you can just ignore the numbers. If you are then it's probably best not to edit the iptables file in this way. Hi Henry,

I just don't understand where the numbers between the [] come from like :OUTPUT ACCEPT [46823:2584014]. I have read a lot of iptables tutorials to see if I can find the answer myself but I have not been able to. The only thing I found is that they are packet count and byte count. Would you mind explaining it? Hi, I don’t have a lot of experience with iptables but I think I understand the script very well.

I don't think so. It's just redirecting the rules back out to the iptables service config file. No real need to do that bit really I guess as you just updated the file directly anyway. Are you sure?
