Can't block certain port on my linux server












0















I'm trying to block my server from getting requests on port 8001.
I ran sudo iptables -A INPUT -p tcp --dport 8001 -j DROP, then I ran netstat -nlp to see if the port is still listening.
The output was:



will not be shown, you would have to be root to see it all.)
Active Internet connections (only servers)
Proto Recv-Q Send-Q Local Address Foreign Address State PID/Program name

It's seems that the port is still open and listening to requests.
How can I close it?

          iptables sets up firewall rules, and you have configured the firewall not to pass on items directed to port 8001



          netstat shows ports that programs are listening to



          So, your firewall is not allowing port 8001 through, but a program is listening for pings on that port. There is no conflict here - if you want your program not to listen to the port, close the program.



          If you are interested in what rules that you have active in the firewall, look at iptables -L or iptables -S
