iptables and privoxy

I am having difficulty blocking all incoming traffic to my machine. I am using privoxy as well as running an OpenVPN service provider through the NetworkManager plugin (Not sure how relevant that piece is...)

I ran the following commands to block all incoming traffic with iptables:

# iptables -F INPUT
# iptables -A INPUT -m state --state ESTABLISHED -j ACCEPT
# iptables -A INPUT -j REJECT

And after doing so, firefox wouldn't load webpages so I reset the rules using what is on the wiki. I have a feeling this has to do with privoxy. Thanks!

[EDIT]
I am also using dnscrypt-proxy so I can use okturtles as my dns provider.
