How to allow connections to minecraft server on port 25565
I have set up a droplet running ubuntu 14.04 and I have a minecraft server running. Port 25565 appears to be closed to external connections. I have run the command "iptables -I INPUT -p tcp --dport 25565 -j ACCEPT" however I still cannot connect to the minecraft server. Here is the output from "netstat -pln":
"

I have been advised to listen for connections from all addresses however I'm not sure how to set this up. Could someone help me?
