This small tutorial will help you set up iptables to survive a reboot. First you need to define the rules you want, then continue with this tutorial.

Recently I removed all Google Ads from this site due to their invasive tracking, as well as Google Analytics. Please, if you found this content useful, consider a small donation using any of the options below. It means the world to me if you show your appreciation and you'll help pay the server costs:

PCBWay referral link (You get $5, I get $20 after you've placed an order)

Digital Ocea referral link ($200 credit for 60 days. Spend $25 after your credit expires and I'll get $25!)

After the rules are defined and tested, execute the following command to save the rules to /etc/iptables.conf

iptables-save > /etc/iptables.conf

Now edit the /etc/network/interfaces file, and add the following right after the line which looks like iface eth0 inet static (eth0 and static might be different.):

  pre-up iptables-restore < /etc/iptables.conf

Now save the file, and after a reboot the IPtables rules will be in place.
