I have seen similar threads, but they didn't help me.

I am using Ubuntu 14.04.2 LTS (GNU/Linux 2.6.32-042stab108.5 x86_64) on my VPS.

I ran a node.js application on port 9000, but this port is closed, so I can't see my web page using a web browser via the Internet.

My opened ports:

sudo netstat -ntlp
Active Internet connections (only servers)
Proto Recv-Q Send-Q Local Address           Foreign Address         State       PID/Program name

tcp6       0      0 :::25                   :::*                    LISTEN      611/master

I was trying to execute the following commands:

sudo iptables -I INPUT -p tcp -m tcp --dport 9000 -j ACCEPT
sudo iptables -A INPUT -p tcp --dport 9000 -j ACCEPT

But it didn't help me. Moreover, the /etc/iptables.rules file is missing, so I couldn't save changes using the following command: iptables-save > /etc/iptables.rules

Could you help me please? Thanks.

    If you don't see port 9000 with command netstat in listening you app not running or maybe is better to say, your server do not expect connection on that port.

  • Start app. Do you have any log from app start?

  • @2707974, yes, you're right. I tried use another VPS and everything was working well even without opening of additional ports.

Give this a try

sudo iptables -I INPUT -p tcp -s 0.0.0.0/0 --dport 9000 -j ACCEPT

To make the change permanent

iptables-save > /etc/iptables.conf # Save this changes to file
touch /etc/network/if-up.d/iptables # Create file to call conf from
echo "iptables-restore < /etc/iptables.conf" >> /etc/network/if-up.d/iptables # Add this line to this file
chmod +x /etc/network/if-up.d/iptables  # Make the script executable
