You only need to accept the unbound local ports used for outgoing
connections. See /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_local_port_range (defaults to
1024-4999). To make life easier in the filters it is probably a good
idea to move the port range to where no services are listening, for
example 32768-60000 or something like that.
