=== Dropping/Deleting rules ===

To drop an iptables rule you will need to know the number of the in the list, you can either count the lines or use your normal command with –line-numbers after. E.g: 
<sxh bash>
iptables -nL –line-numbers
</sxh>
Once you know the line number you can delete the rule using:

<sxh bash>
iptables -D INPUT #
</sxh>

Replace the **#** with the rule number you would like to drop
