<p>Recently I've started the migration of my company's servers to a new provider.
After checking that the OS installed on the -now- old servers was Ubuntu 8.04
(holy shit), I decided to make a fresh install of CentOS 6.3, cleaning up all
the servers contents and setting up everything from scratch.</p>
<p>After setting my iptables rules (INPUT whitelisted, OUTPUT accept all) I
noticed a big delay on every connection made to my server. After checking a
lot of things, these two solved the issue:</p>
<h2 id="enable-unilimited-traffic-on-your-loopback-interface">Enable unilimited traffic on your loopback interface</h2><div class="hll"><pre><span></span>iptables -A INPUT -i lo -j ACCEPT
iptables -A OUTPUT -o lo -j ACCEPT
</pre></div>
<h2 id="enable-traffic-for-connections-started-by-your-server">Enable traffic for connections started by your server</h2><div class="hll"><pre><span></span>iptables -A INPUT -m state --state ESTABLISHED,RELATED -j ACCEPT
</pre></div>
<p>Hope this solves your issue as it did with mine.</p>
