This site is work in progress!

Close public ports with iptables

Drop incoming requests on port 8080 on all interfaces but localhost:

iptables -A INPUT ! -s 127.0.0.1 -p tcp --destination-port 8080 -j REJECT

Check (from a remote client machine) if jetty is securely blocked:

nmap deepamehta.yourdomain.tld -p 8080

should return
