Remote firewall maintenance, unless you're ABSOLUTELY, POSITIVELY sure
about what you're doing, is risky. Once you lock yourself out, you're

Really? I used to do it all the time.
The trick is to have a known good set of firewall rules.
iptables <new stuff>; sleep 60; iptables <known good>
If you can't abort it, the old rules come back online.
