Trying to install iptables-persistent with apt-get. It stucks with resolving archive.ubuntu.com resulting in “Temporary failure resolving” this hostname. I checked resolv.conf - it has 8.8.4.4 & 8.8.8.8 nameservers Also apt/sources.list has 5 deb entries with archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu Infact I can’t even ping those nameservers along with other domains I’ve tried. Iptables set to output accept policy with no rules.

You need to change repository link from archive.ubuntu.com and security.ubuntu.com to old-releases.ubuntu.com <br>Ref: http://www.warpconduit.net/2011/07/31/apt-repository-for-old-ubuntu-releases/ <br>
@hungbc2811: You would only need to use old-releases.ubuntu.com if you were on an unsupported version of Ubuntu. If that is the case, I’d highly advise you to upgrade to a current release so that you still receive security support. “old-releases” just allows you to access the existing packages, you won’t get any update or security fixes.
Does it work if you temporarily reset your IPTables rules? <br>Run the following commands to take a backup of your rules and then reset everything to the defaults: <br><pre>sudo iptables-save | sudo tee iptables.backup <br>sudo iptables -F <br>sudo iptables -X</pre> <br>Then, check if the apt-get command works. <br>You can restore your rules by running this command: <br><pre>sudo iptables-restore < iptables.backup</pre>
