Restrict ip to 1 address

07 Jul, 2019 Linux 0 Comments 0

Sometimes you need to open a port on your server, you want it to be recheable only from specific IP address, you can use Iptables for this:

iptables -I INPUT -p tcp -s 118.70.15.19 --dport 22 -j ACCEPT

In that case, you are opening ssh port only to IP 10.1.1.2, if you need to open DNS for your internal network.

iptables -I INPUT -p udp -s 10.1.0.0/16 --dport 53 -j ACCEPT

Once you have them added and opened for those IPs, you need to close the door for the rest of IPs

iptables -I INPUT -p tcp -s 0.0.0.0/0 --dport 22 -j DROP
iptables -I INPUT -p udp -s 0.0.0.0/0 --dport 53 -j DROP
