I'm trying to secure my rtorrent-running-homeserver with IPtables. With the aim to allow only incoming connections to the rtorrent port 6890 and 5292 for ftp (both are forwarded by the router), I wrote the following rules:  # Allows all Connections from localhost (necessary for scgi port 5000 of rtorrent):iptables -A INPUT -s 127.0.0.1 -p tcp -j ACCEPT iptables -A INPUT -s 127.0.0.1 -p udp -j ACCEPT# Allows all Connections from 192.168.2.* (local network) and 192.168.10.* (local vpn network)iptables -A INPUT -s 192.168.2.0/24 -p tcp -j ACCEPTiptables -A INPUT -s 192.168.10.0/24 -p tcp -j ACCEPT# Allows all input-Connections on port 6890 (rtorrent) and 5292 (ftp)iptables -A INPUT -p tcp --dport 6890 -j ACCEPTiptables -A INPUT -p tcp --dport 5292 -j ACCEPT# Blocks everything elseiptables -A INPUT -p tcp -j DROPIf the rules are active, I get the error 'Tracker: Timeout was reached'. Without everything is running like a charm. So it seems to blame on my iptables-rules.Is there anyone who may help?
