Description

Issue
On the list of iptables commands:
sudo iptables -A INPUT -p udp- m udp --sport 4380 --dport 1025:65355 -j ACCEPT
sudo iptables -A INPUT -p udp -m udp --sport 10999 --dport 1025:65355 -j ACCEPT
sudo iptables -A INPUT -p udp -m udp --sport 7777 --dport 1025:65355 -j ACCEPT
sudo iptables -A INPUT -p udp -m udp --sport 27015 --dport 1025:65355 -j ACCEPT
The first command has a misplaced dash between udp and m
Suggested Fix
Correct the command list to:
sudo iptables -A INPUT -p udp -m udp --sport 4380 --dport 1025:65355 -j ACCEPT
sudo iptables -A INPUT -p udp -m udp --sport 10999 --dport 1025:65355 -j ACCEPT
sudo iptables -A INPUT -p udp -m udp --sport 7777 --dport 1025:65355 -j ACCEPT
sudo iptables -A INPUT -p udp -m udp --sport 27015 --dport 1025:65355 -j ACCEPT
