Is it safe to clear iptables rules

Asked by ealthuis

On some of my computers the listing of rules are more than two pages long and where I need it, it does not appear to work for me.
Can I delete all these rules or even some of them?

Sure. The rules are wiped each boot anyway. There is an application to reapply the rules at boot
