    chadk5utc,

    I figure ssh encryption is a security issue. However I may start a thread on sourceforge if what I have seen on the sourceforge phpmyadmin thread does not work for me.

    To others having connection issues with iptables configuration,

    I actually had another issue with establishing connections where it would work at times & then it would have issues other times. It was not consistent until I decided to poke around in my files & imo figured out what was causing the problem.

    The command sudo ifconfig only showed 1 interface ( in my case venet0 ) but when I took a look at file: /etc/network/interfaces I saw some logic that changed 3 other interfaces + lo (<-- lo at a specific internal ip) to venet0.
    So I had a total of 4 interfaces that I could see it using & therefore made matching rules for all 4 interfaces & also lo (<- 127.0.0.X).
    This seems to be working for me thus far while testing the connection from different sources. Perhaps this info will help others.

    Re: iptables configuration issues

    Actually I will have to flag this thread as unsolved again. It works for a while & then let's say I go away from the computer & come back after 2 hours.. It does not work yet again. This goes for using sites that are made to test the connection from various sources. I just do not get it at all.. If I disable the iptables rules then it works without issue. What could be happening over time that would stop it from establishing a connection? This seems to only apply to port 80. Atm I am bewildered.

    Perhaps established connections is working but not new ones. Putting NEW state makes no difference.
