I am trying to run a java application on my EC2 instance. The application accepts socket connections on port 54321. If I try and connect to it, it times out. My Security Group is set as:
TCP Port (Service)  Source  Action 
21  0.0.0.0/0   Delete 
22 (SSH)    0.0.0.0/0   Delete 
80 (HTTP)   0.0.0.0/0   Delete 
20393   0.0.0.0/0   Delete 
54321   0.0.0.0/0   Delete
Is there anything else I need to do?
# iptables -nvL
Chain INPUT (policy ACCEPT 0 packets, 0 bytes)
 pkts bytes target     prot opt in     out     source               destination         
Chain FORWARD (policy ACCEPT 0 packets, 0 bytes)
 pkts bytes target     prot opt in     out     source               destination         
Chain OUTPUT (policy ACCEPT 0 packets, 0 bytes)
 pkts bytes target     prot opt in     out     source               destination         
# iptables -nvL -t nat
