Below is a quick example of how to use iptables to allow port access for all types of private networks. In this case we’re allowing access to ports 10000 and 20000, commonly used by webmin and usermin.

for i in 127.0.0.0/8 10.0.0.0/8 172.16.0.0/12 192.168.0.0/16; do
for j in 10000 20000; do
iptables -A INPUT -p tcp --dport ${j} -s ${i} -j ACCEPT
done; done
iptables -S && /sbin/iptables-save && /sbin/service iptables save
