No Rules = No firewall.

I have a default DROP rule will stops all inbound connections unless I 
allow them explicitly.

iptables -P INPUT DROP

This will drop any inbound connections unless otherwise specified. For 
restricting outbound traffic I guess the rule would be as below.

iptables -P OUTPUT DROP

Works for me. YMMV.
