Which has blocked all my ports including ssh, .....

THis is why you should read this : https://forum.kimsufi.com/forumdispl...w-To-Tutorials before you even think of the word "iptables".

When I try and use rescue-pro is claims the connection is refused, if I try and use bsd rescue I can ssh in but I can't then edit the iptables using that.

Did you receive the mail with the temporary root 's password for that unique rescue session ?
You don't need to 'edit' iptables.
iptables is a command that you use to alter predefined rules.
The predefined rules, when you boot your OS are :

root@vps62725:~# iptables -L -vn
Chain INPUT (policy ACCEPT 26689 packets, 2388K bytes)
Chain FORWARD (policy ACCEPT 0 packets, 0 bytes)
 pkts bytes target     prot opt in     out     source               destination
Chain OUTPUT (policy ACCEPT 25980 packets, 2857K bytes)
 pkts bytes target     prot opt in     out     source               destination

If you use a tool (script, whatever) that loads firewall rules, or changes the policies .... then you should modify this script file (or even stop it from loading). This is where the rescue mode comes in.
YOUR OS isn't booting when you use recue mode. Neither the YOUR config on your server's disk.
Better yet : your disk isn't even 'logically attached' (== mounted) when the rescue OS started.
You are aware of the fact that you should MOUNT your partitions first before you can access YOUR files when you use rescue mode ?

Hello,

if you don't have a script that run the blocking rules at startup a simple reboot should be enought.

By default (under GNU/Linux) iptables don't save the setting on the server and a reboot will erase all the settings unless you setup a script or software that re-made the setting at startup.

Cordially, janus57
