The hosts ip table rules and also text log of all your actions done as hard to read.

@HeatSeakingMouse Yeah, I've had similar feedback so any future videos will be in HD and I'll be sure to zoom in closer on the text.

Regarding the iptables rule set I used in this video, look here:

where the link for your hosts files and links to all this??

[ckeck]

@HeatSeakingMouse Sorry, I'm not sure exactly what you are asking -- could you clarify please?

You should put links to everything you're referencing in the knowledge base in the description. Having a bitch of a time find that stuff... test rules for example. Thanks!

get some vids on nginx. currently using my rackspace instances all on nginx, incredibly fast. - howtoforge has become a good place for free advice for server newbs.. especially those never doing ssh before.
