Custom Firewall Rule not working

[Dottodot]

I have created a custom firewall rule to allow incoming traffic for port 2195 but when I run

telnet mysite.com 2195 I get connection refused. I even disabled the firewall and still got the same.

Can you verify that the port is listening by sharing the output of 'netstat -anlp'?

Also, what does 'iptables -nvxL' say?

telnet mysite.com 2195 I get connection refused. I even disabled the firewall and still got the same.

Do you have a service / process that listens to that port on your server? If so can you telnet localhost 2195 while on the server it self?
