Ubuntu Networking :: All Ports Appear To Be Blocked?
Jun 12, 2010
I dont know how, but somehow all the ports on my comp appear to be blocked except for 24, for ssh and 5900 unknown. I can connect to the network, but as far as I can tell, I'm powerless to do anything. No webpages load, I'm typing this on my phone.
I have a vps server running certain services which can be accessed via a web browser (e.g webmin control panel), but I have recently been unable to access these services from my home machine using Firefox 5.0, running ubuntu 11.04.
Example:
I can access the server on port 80 fine, eg: [URL]
However I cannot access my webmin control panel on: [URL]
The pages takes ages to load and then times out. Same with transmission-daemon on: [URL]
Everything is set up fine on my server, the ports are open in firewall etc. and I can access these pages fine from my work computer.
This has only started happening in the last day or two and had been working fine up till then. I have not messed around at all with the firewall on my home machine. I have tried other browsers besides Firefox with same result.
Small server running 5.3 - stock postfix configured to use Maildir. Dovecot configured but both pop and imap ports blocked by firewall. Access to mail is via Squirrelmail via https. Configured to virus scan via ClamAV. Works just fine. Now I want to add procmail filtering. So I create these two files - ~/.forward and ~/.procmailrc in my user home dir: "|exec /usr/bin/procmail -f- || exit 75 #mpeters"
So I set up an Ubuntu 10.04 server with apache2 installed, but for some reason I can't get to it from my browser. the iptables have all changed directories in 10.04 so I can't find the iptables. Apparmor wasn't the problem. The network hard ware is not the problem.There is something inside of 10.04 that is blocking port 80. I can ping it all day using the ip address but when I ping it useing http://ipaddress it can't find the host
In my Ubuntu 9.04 installation, just a few days ago, I lost my usage of the internet. I still had internet access. Firstly though, there was a problem with the router, so I tried a friend's router (both Netgear DG834) and the friend's one worked. But in Ubuntu, I could not access any web pages or email. Skype works.
I tried using my netbook and that could access web pages okay. So then I booted my main PC into the old installation that I kept there of Ubuntu 8.04, which I am using now. And in this the internet works just fine, I can access websites and download and send email.
But in Ubuntu 9.04, it seems like something is blocking my access. I do not recall installing anything new, although something may have been updated recently. I can see the DNS servers from Ubuntu 9.04 and it gets an IP address from the router. What is the likely cause of the Internet being blocked for websites and email (but not Skype)?
I recently installed the XRDP server on my desktop edition of Ubuntu v10.04 following the simple instructions available here. I did this on two computers. One computer has Firestarter installed while the other does not.
When I use Windows to connect to the Ubuntu box without Firestarter, everything works just fine. However, when I try to connect to the one running Firestarter, I get a pop up showing an error message (see the attached file).
I checked the incoming rules in Firestarter and I don't see a way to add RDP sessions to the list of exceptions. I also tried adding my IP address in the host section but this too didn't help the situation.
I can't seem to establish a conncction to my site (that I'm hosting in the same computer as the gFTP client- running Lucid Lynx desktop as a server). My site is 'out there', with a domain etc. and also I work on it with localhost. I wanted to use ftp as Joomla has a 'ftp layer' for files permissions etc. But it keeps saying that I can't connect, or the connection 'was reset by a peer' whatever that means. For 'hostname' I use site.com (site is my site's name) and even tried the whole thing like http://www.site.com (I clicke on 'connect to remote, and enter that in the url). or just put it where 'host' goes (when I'm not using localhost) For user name and pass, I just enter what I usually put to access the administrator's back panel in joomla, but maybe I am supposed to use what I use to log on to ubuntu when I start my computer? note sure. Anyway I used a telnet command in the terminal and found that port 21 was blocked. MY isp says they don't block any ports so I don't know. I was able to do this last year so I don't know what is so hard about this lol In the router, I have 'ftp 21 to 21 and ip address 192.168.1.100 (ip is the same for http which is working as I have my site up) now it seems to be open as I used a command at the terminal (found from google). It's open but my ftp still can't connect to my server either localhost or to my site. there is no firewall blocking it and I think my router is set right.
I am facing an annoying problem with the wireless network of my university.The network is open, doesnt have wpa/wep, and once connected when requesting any page in the browser it gets redirected to a login page. Basically any pc running windows works fine, however if the os is linux-based than the pc connects just fine, it gets an ip, but the login page never loads. I have tried several browsers, several machines, even my android smartphone is locked out as well as all my friends running ubuntu, arch linux and others linux distros.The technical support never answered my email, and it's now 3 weeks that we are all without internet.
Recently My ISP provider blocked any kind of http proxies can be used in browsers. When I put my proxy settings in my browser, it keeps loading with no response. I've squid proxy running on my own server and worked fine before that modification.
The firewall in Fedora 12 seems to block UPnP by default, but opening port 1900 for UDP, as I have seen suggestedes not resolve the problem.have the following three scenarios:Firewall Enabled: Transmission cannot open a port by UPnPFirewall Enabled (1900 UDP allowed): Transmission cannot open a port by UPnPFirewall Disabled: Transmission opens a port via UPnP fineAny ideas? Yes, the port that I'm trying to open is also allowed. Router is a Linksys BEFSR41 v4.3, should you care
I connect to the internet at work through an authenticating proxy, and to avoid having to enter the proxy info into every app I use (e.g. firefox, wget, kde, etc) I have set up squid as a local transparent proxy which authenticates and routes all traffic to the work proxy. It has been working fine, but lately I haven't been able to connect to any https sites. I don't think I have changed the configuration, so perhaps it is the result of an upgrade, or something badly configured on my system from the start. I have tried connecting to https sites without squid and iptables and it works fine. My system is Arch linux, and my squid.conf file is: Code:
acl all src all acl manager proto cache_object acl localhost src 127.0.0.1/32 acl to_localhost dst 127.0.0.0/8 acl SSL_ports port 443 acl Safe_ports port 80# http acl Safe_ports port 21# ftp acl Safe_ports port 443# https [Code]....
In my work I am trying to connect my home server behind symantech gateway but I cannot but when I try to connect with telnet to ssh port I can make connection.How can I connect my server via ssh client.
Last night I installed all the updates that were available for CentOS. Today, I discovered that all connections to port 25 (Sendmail) are being blocked except connections coming from localhost.
I tried disabling the firewall to see if anything would change but it is still blocked.
If it is not the firewall doing the blocking, what else might it be?
Recently I discovered that we were accidentally running a POP server (port 110), when we only should have been running the encrypted version thereof (port 995). This wouldn't have been a problem if the port was blocked in the first place.Isn't the default iptables setup on CentOS to block unspecified ports? Specifically, this line from /etc/sysconfig/iptables
-A RH-Firewall-1-INPUT -j REJECT --reject-with icmp-host-prohibited
Right? Well, this doesn't seem to be working for me. I added some rules to allow additional ports and commented out a couple (crucially port 110), but for some reason, port 110 is open.Here is /etc/sysconfig/iptables and the output of iptables -L below that:
# cat /etc/sysconfig/iptables # Firewall configuration written by system-config-securitylevel # Manual customization of this file is not recommended. *filter :INPUT ACCEPT [0:0]
[code]....
Why isn't "-A RH-Firewall-1-INPUT -j REJECT --reject-with icmp-host-prohibited" doing what I think it should be doing?
I am in China, where some web sites(....., facebook, etc) are blocked. So I have to access these blocked site by VPN. But how can I access blocked sites by VPN and unblocked sites by my direct ADSL?
I have nessus application is running in the target machine and the url
is https://hostname:8834/ - which is not accessible
But when i login in the target machine via ssh and check that this application and the service is running fine So i think it is blocked by the iptables in the same machine, where the nessus is running
The device it's properly recognized and iwlist scan even list the networks, but the "activate wifi network" on the network manager on right-top of the screen it's grey and therefore cannot be activated. This seems to be the problem ( rfkill list ouput ):Quote:

I'm writting an app for desktop and embedded linux and I need to get information about the multiserial port, and I need to know which port is been used (by a printer, por example).The multiserial I'm using is an Altera Corporation Device 0004, and I just need to tell how many ports are there and how many is been used.
A few months ago I installed Ubuntu 9.10 on my girlfriends laptop, on her request, as she didn't like Windows any more. Since then the internet connection periodically slows down due to too many open ports/connections. Always when this happens I call our ISP and usually there are around 80-200(!) active connections to various IP's.
She is not downloading torrents or anything. She only uses Firefox and a few open tabs as people do. Skype is open. Wireless internet connection.
I am thinking either Ubuntu is updating more or less constantly or the ports/connections aren't closed "after use".
I'm trying to VPN in somewhere and it doesn't like any outbound connections. I'm doing this for RDP, so can I somehow restrict the VPN connection to only be using the RDP port?
I have ssh running on port 22 and that is the only thing I want in/out of this particular box (ssh, scp).But when I use iptables to set the default policies for INPUT, FORWARD, and OUTPUT to DROP and then allow 22:
I was following the directions over on the page How to watch Hulu overseas without a proxy server and got to the section about blocking ports, which I need to block port 1935. I figured this would be easy, as the mac instructions are
Code: sudo ipfw add 0 deny tcp from any to any 1935 sudo ipfw add 0 deny udp from any to any 1935 and the Windows instructions are practically a book in itself. Since this page was lacking instructions on how to do it in Ubuntu, and ipfw seemingly doesn't exist in Ubuntu, how do I block the ports
I'm trying to open my ports all the way, but for some reason, I am unable to do so. I've forwarded the ports I want open in my router (I switched between two routers to make sure), I made exceptions in Firestarter, and I even added UFW rules, but when I use pretty much any and every port checking tool out there, the ports eithere back stealthed or closed.I'm not a complete noob, and I'm not an expert, but I'm p sure I'm doing everything right, seeing as there isn't much to screw up.The reason I'm trying to fully open these ports is because I'm getting this dumb 'No Incoming Connections
I have been running Ubuntu 10.10 and have found that at any time I am connected to the Internet that I will randomly see high port numbers open when doing a port scan on my computer all are in the unknown listings with five digit numbers so I don't know what is going on or who is using them. Please check your system to see if you are having the same thing happen by using network tools and filling in your local ip address in the port scan tab. If you shut down your Ethernet interface and run port scans the high ports are no longer open. this will at least keep whoever is using your ports at bay when you are not using the net.
My first one is the network: Our routers' ethernet ports are all in use and I cant get one of them. So Im asking you what I need to buy. Our router now is a speedport w701v. The new router should have wlan and good working LAN. It shouldnt be very expensive... give me some tips what I should look for (because Im very new with router...) and maybe give me a link where they tested many routers (and where I can trust the results).
