Hi all,

Is there any point to blocking ports 1:1024 through iptables from ips
other than 127.0.0.1? Of course, I would then overwrite that setting for
some ports, such as 80, 443, 21, 22, 25, etc to allow these services to
function properly. Does this provide any security, or is this completely
useless and only causes errors down the road?

Thanks,
Max
