Iptables – Can’t connect to the Node.js server

iptablesnode.js

I have a VPS (on linode) where I installed Node.JS on.

My server.js file is as follow:

var http = require('http');
http.createServer(function (req, res) {
  res.writeHead(200, {'Content-Type': 'text/plain'});
  res.end('Hello World\n');
}).listen(1337);
console.log('Server running on port 1337');

When I try this on my server:

wget http://localhost:1337

It does work and downloads the response. But externally, Google Chrome is saying Oops! Google Chrome could not connect to xxx.xxx.xx.xx:1337

This is the output of the Iptables:

What could be wrong? Thanks!

Try another port. 3000 should work.
