On occasion, I configure iptables via webmin. I am having a strange problem where when I apply the rules from that GUI that it never comes back. If I close the web browser and restart, I can see everything again, but it looks like I get cut off. Also, I occasionally get some redhat GUI issues as well and I think it's because of my rulebase. These issues do not happen when I am connected remotely. I have my ruleset below...am I missing anything for local that anyone can see. Thanks in advance...very appreciated.
