If my iptables is set to drop packets from certain hosts, is it possible to add a host that can be excepted from this if it is affected?
The hostname I'm wanting to except from these rules is affected by them.

You just have to use an ACCEPT rule for this host before the DROP rules you want to avoid. | |||

Rules are evaluated in order, so just make sure that your accept rule comes before the default deny rule. | |||

This might not be useful in this case, but the default policy(last evaluated rule) can also be changed with the -P ACCEPT. | |||
