This is surprising, I often do this as well (iptables -F of everything while policies are set to DROP, then readding rules one by one), and did not notice any change, this keeps working fine for me. Could you post the relevant iptables rules from your configuration, i.e. the ones which act on your SSH connections? Also do you know in which specific 4.14 kernel version the change went in? I can't find it in Changelogs for any of 4.14.x on kernel.org. -- With respect, Roman
