Configuring IPtables on private network

Hi,

I have a Wordpress web app on a droplet in nyc2 and a MySQL server in the same DC. Both have private networking enabled and the web app works great with the backend DB server.

I know the DB server can’t be reached from outside the DC, but I want to make sure that internally only my web app can access the MySQL instance on port 3306 and that I can access the VPS from my local machine. I’m not sure if I have setup the iptables 100% correctly, so I’m looking for confirmation.

Below is my current iptables config where xxx is the external IP address of my local machine and yyy is the private network address of the MySQL instance.

If someone could cast an eye over that config I’d be very grateful.

Many thanks in advance.
