I thought iptables -L |grep udp will show me, but instead it shows:
Use the holy -n option.
OK, Jan, I'll bite. WTF is the "holy -n" option?
`man iptables` -n, --numeric Numeric output. IP addresses and port numbers will be printed in numeric format. By default, the program will try to display them as host names, network names, or services (whenever applicable). In other words, it will print 3128 instead of ndl-aas. Jan Engelhardt --
