• Try

  watch iptables -nvL INPUT

  Do you see anything?

  Also try moving your ACCEPT statements below all of your drops. Iptables operates in sequential order, from the top down.

• Actually I think I was wrong… Somehow the mail is landing on my box (from an address I am not blocking)
  and this particular email is requesting going OUT of my box. Seems the firewall operating fine. I just looked at it incorrectly.

• Hi,

  There’s something weird happening to my CentOS VMs, cannot switch back to GUI. Black screen with a single underscore character at top left of the screen.

  Ok so I have ESXI 5.1 host, with 3 VM all running CentOS. I rebooted the esxi host yesterday for a power maintenance. All went well… until I switched console on the vms.

  I was able to login using the GUI, then I pressed Alt F5, then I was sent to the text console… I usually do this to save energy. I did the same for all the CentOS vm… now I wanted to switch back to GUI but I can’t. I even pressed all the keys from F1 to F12 but were not able to get back to the GUI for all the VMs.

  Can you please advise where Im missing?

• Hi – When updating my CentOS 7 – firewalld why does the virt-manager loose connections to all GUI’s ? I just close the virt-manager main window –
  select the virt-manager from gnome side panel and re-run – and then they all come back after you click on them – but why is the connection to the GUI lost ? Can I prevent that somehow ?

  Thanks,

  Jerry
