port get filtered even after adding to both iptables and security list

Islam Khaled

hello,

I have a cloud compute instance with ubuntu installed

recently i experienced this problem with more than one port, despite allowing them in rules in both ubuntu's iptables and clouds security list of the subnet of the vcn of the instance, always when trying to connect to these ports or test them in https://www.ipvoid.com/port-scan/ the port result is filtered so does anyone guessed what the problem is or what the solution may be ?

exmples for these ports are 445, 9091 and others

this is the rule in the iptables

and here is the rule in the security list

and the service is active and listening

Thanks Abhinav for your answer.

All ingress and egress rules were just fine, it turned out that this issue was arised after installing iredmail, so after some search and digging deep, the problem was found to be because of "nftables" which iredmail uses to ban some ip addresses and which also appears to override iptable rules, so after uninstalling it everything came to normal.

Hi Islam,

Please check egress security rule. Also, you enable Log Analytics and filter the rules associated with the IP Address of your compute Instance.
