Question
Firewall: External Content Blocked
- Posted August 6, 2013
I followed the firewall guide here: https://www.digitalocean.com/community/articles/how-to-setup-a-basic-ip-tables-configuration-on-centos-6
However, I’m not able to view images from other websites and recaptcha cannot connect to validate captcha input.

Awesome, glad to hear that! :]
dodgy perl module, fixed image issue now, thanks :)
This is how I’m trying to get the images (Perl) <br> <br>my $img = LWP::UserAgent->new->request(new HTTP::Request GET => $url); <br> <br>$img->is_success is always false <br> <br>This used to work fine on my old server so I’m not sure what’s going on, any ideas?
It must be a configuration issue. Disabling iptables didn’t fix it therefore the firewall isn’t blocking it :]
Recaptcha and external images used to work fine on my old shared hosting, so it must be some configuration issue?
Is a recaptcha-not-reachable error from the ReCaptcha.pm perl module. I’ve tried a number of verify URLs including <br> <br>http://www.google.com/recaptcha/api/verify <br>http://api-verify.recaptcha.net
the issue of not being able to load the images* <br> <br>the command worked fine <br>iptables: Flushing firewall rules: [ OK ] <br>iptables: Setting chains to policy ACCEPT: filter [ OK ] <br>iptables: Unloading modules: [ OK ] <br>
I did <br> <br>sudo service iptables stop <br> <br>and the issue remains, is that the same thing as you suggested trying?
Run this command then: <br> <br><pre>sudo su -c “iptables-save > ~/iptables_backup && iptables -F” root</pre>
I get permission denied on that statement even when I sudo
