For your own security, sometimes we want to filter all incoming traffic to our machine and let it go to only some specified ports. We can do it easily using IPTables.

iptables -A INPUT -p tcp -m tcp -m multiport ! --dports 80,443 -j DROP
List of common used ports is here.
Remember to allow yourself to connect to SSH port
