#First check if there's a bunch of crap from Oracle with
sudo iptables -L
#It should appear a lot of messages with:
#"/* See the Oracle-Provided Images section in the Oracle Cloud Infrastructure documentation for security impact of modifying or removing this rule */"
#If so, execute the rest:
sudo iptables-save > ~/iptables-rules
sudo iptables -P INPUT ACCEPT
sudo iptables -P OUTPUT ACCEPT
sudo iptables -P FORWARD ACCEPT
sudo iptables -F
sudo iptables --flush
this works for me
