Set IP preference
If you enable IPv6 then that will be the default.
Recommended solution : IPv6 is now available in a lot of places. It's time to use it!
If you don't want to use IPv6 you can force IPv4 mode. This is not recommended any-more! IPv6 is becoming bigger and bigger, you need to switch.
You can override that and set IPv4 as the default protocol:
vim /etc/gai.conf
About line 54, un-comment the following line:
#
# For sites which prefer IPv4 connections change the last line to
#
precedence ::ffff:0:0/96 100
Global networking configuration
Enable modules
First things first! Before writing any rule you have to enable the required modules in your current O.S.
- Note -
If your server is hosted over Internet then you're probably using a custom Kernel (such as OVH, Tripnet, ...). In that case most modules are already enabled.
MODPROBE=`which modprobe`
echo -e " "
echo -e "-----------------------------"
echo -e " Enable networking modules"

##### IPv4
$MODPROBE ip_tables
$MODPROBE iptable_filter
$MODPROBE iptable_mangle
# Allow to use state match
$MODPROBE ip_conntrack
# Allow NAT
$MODPROBE iptable_nat
##### IPv6
$MODPROBE ip6_tables
$MODPROBE ip6table_filter
$MODPROBE ip6table_mangle
##### Allow active / passive FTP
$MODPROBE ip_conntrack_ftp
$MODPROBE ip_nat_ftp
##### Allow log limits
echo " ... burst limit"
$MODPROBE ipt_limit
Set network features
Now that you've enable some modules, you need to choose which network features you're gonna use or not.

Default policy
Attacks types
As a reminder, there are 3 different kind of attacks:
- INPUT = intrusion. Someone want something from your computer, NOW.
- OUTPUT = disclosure. Someone want something from your computer or network - and you might give it LATER.
- FORWARD = get access. someone want something from your network. ... Or even worse: they will use your computer to perform attacks on your behalf!
You can read more about each attack over Internet.
Set default policies
This is how you defined a default policy.
- You should set all policies in ACCEPT ; and DROP the packets at the end of your firewall. By doing so you'll probably not be locked away from your server in case of firewall change.
- You should keep the RELATED and ESTABLISHED connections

Basic protection and protocol(s) enforcement
Basic (minimal) protection
You should put some minimal protection. This layer relies on your O.S and its internal checks. Most of the time that's enough to block malformed and suspicious packets.

If you ever loose Internet access after that you need to check your /etc/resolv.conf
configuration and make sure you're using a valid DNS server.

# Allow forwarding within the LAN
$IPTABLES -A FORWARD -s $IP_LAN_V4 -j ACCEPT

if [ ! -z "$IP_LAN_V6" ]
then

$IP6TABLES -A OUTPUT -s $IP_LAN_V6 -d $IP_LAN_V6 -j ACCEPT

Note: thanks to the ! -z operator if the variable is not set or "" then the rule will be skipped.
