By the output of that, you don't have any firewall rules in iptables, therefore nothing should be getting filtered at that level.

As for Volt-Host having the web front-end for blocking IP's, it probably just added a rule in the software firewall on the host node to prevent users from connecting to your server. Can easily be done via iptables without a fancy front-end.

As for protection, a software firewall isn't going to do you much good for most attacks, how much your server can withstand in terms of a sustained attack almost completely depends on the network capacity of your host and filtering done by your host.

NFOServers VDS's(same as VPS) has a part in their control panel where you can add rules to the firewall on the host node hosting your VDS. This gets rid of some (what is usually negligible) overhead of iptables rules on the container itself and is typically easier for users not familiar with iptables(though, iptables is pretty simple once you get the hang of how everything works).
