Terminal Stuck / Frozen

Hi, under the Iptables section , exactly after the 5th question the terminal seems to be frozen / stuck. After entering the command

sudo iptables -A INPUT -j DROP

the control won’t come out. its stuck not matter what I type nothing is working. Had to refresh the page 3 times and still its same.

Even tried to paste the same command as given in Hint, if I past and hit enter. the cursor will show, but it’s not taking any input. I’m not able to type anything inside the terminal.

Kindly take a look into this issue, I’m not able to finish the lab.

WebBrowser : Safari Version 14.1

I have checked this lab from my side , and there is no problem with it
So please check your internet connectivity and let me know if the issue still exists

Hi , I have checked twice the connection and it was not the problem.

I think I found out why,

For the 2nd question to install the iptables for devapp01 and devdb01. I was doing following commands

ssh devdb01
enter the bob password and run - sudo apt install iptables -y
ssh devapp01
enter the bob password and run  - sudo apt install iptables -y

then for 5th question soon after adding the command sudo iptables -A INPUT -j DROP the question will show correct and move to 6th, but the terminal will be stuck. Though the cursor is blinking, no matter what I type it’s not taking.

But if I follow another way then it won’t cause the issue

ssh devdb01
enter the bob password and run  - sudo apt install iptables -y
exit
ssh devapp01
enter the bob password and run - sudo apt install iptables -y

Kindly correct me if I’m doing any wrong.

Great!
It is the right way to install iptables for both devd01 and devapp01, you have to exit from the first one to be able to ssh into the second one.

Hi Team,

I have got the same issue as mentioned by PS here.

under the Iptables sections lab , exactly after the 5th question, the terminal seems to be frozen/stuck. After entering the command

sudo iptables -A INPUT -j DROP

the control won’t come out. It is stuck not matter what I type nothing is working.

Please help in providing a fix for this issue.

Did you ssh into devapp01 or devdb01 without exiting from it ?

Please try again using those commands:

ssh devdb01
enter the bob password and run - sudo apt install iptables -y
exit
ssh devapp01
enter the bob password and run - sudo apt install iptables -y

If it is not the same case, please share the commands you had run

HI Team,

It got resolved after 10 mins and I was able to proceed with the Lab.

Thank you!!
