SSH Connection Refused after following "Hardening" directions on linode

networking

Hello,

I followed the instructions on this page:

https://linode.com/docs/security/securing-your-server

…for the iptables rules (IPv4) and I became unable to connect to my linode by SSH (got a "port 22: connection refused") error.

Can anyone tell me what rule on that page did that?

As soon as I did "iptables -F", SSH worked again.

[~~[b]~~EDIT:] Tried again and it seems to be working okay now - I am able to ssh-in.
