Well I thought I'd try iptables again. I finally got it to run without any errors, that long iptables command I got earlier. But nmap still sees no ports open on that host. Prior to running iptables, I tried to apt install it, and the message was that I'm already running the latest. So I needed to restart iptables with sudo service iptables restart and it can find no service iptables. I retyped it several times to be sure there was no typos. So I tried sudo systemctl restart iptables and the system cannot find systemctl question: If I reboot, if the long iptables command worked, will it stick if I reboot?
