Thanks for the link, but as far as I know it should work. Those are the
only two rules I'm using, and it *is *working because after I run
iptables -A INPUT -j REJECT all of my connections drop. But since I
opened port 80 before that, shouldn't I still be able to use HTTP?

Exactly. First I opened port 80, and second I closed everything. Which
in the end should cause everything but port 80 to be closed. At least
this is my understanding. I've tried the other way around, but it still
didn't work for me.
