Hi all,

Debian 7.3 64bit

Is there an easier way to stop/start the default iptables? (I haven't added any rules other than the default)

On searching I found;
HowTo Disable The Iptables Firewall in Linux
HowTo Disable The Iptables Firewall in Linux

RE: A note about other Linux distribution
Code:
If you are using other Linux distribution such as Debian / Ubuntu / Suse / Slakcware Linux etc., try the following generic proc
1)
First, run
# iptables-save > /root/firewall.rules

2)
Then run following commands as root
Code:
iptables -F
iptables -X
iptables -t nat -F
iptables -t nat -X
iptables -t mangle -F
iptables -t mangle -X
iptables -P INPUT ACCEPT
iptables -P OUTPUT ACCEPT
iptables -P FORWARD ACCEPT
Or create shell script as advised to stop iptables.

3)
To restore or turn on firewall type the following command:
# iptables-restore < /root/firewall.rules

Advice would be appreciated. Thanks.
