[Tutorial] How to configure your Firewall and open any port in Ubuntu 18.04

Hello,

If you are not connectable and your router is ok, you must open the port in Firewall.

I'll explain how to configure with UFW.

Open Terminal and follow these commands (I will give a port example):

Quote:

---

sudo ufw enable

---

If you get a message that UFW is not installed, type this command:

Quote:

---

sudo apt-get install ufw

---

And now...

Quote:

---

sudo ufw status

---

At this moment your UFW is on

To open your port, it is very easy. Open your torrent software and copy your port.
Now, type this command:

Quote:

---

sudo ufw allow 1234/tcp

---

Quote:

---

sudo ufw allow 1234/udp

---

If you want to block any port, just change ''allow'' to ''deny''

Don't forget to change ''1234'' to your port that you are using in your torrent software.

Now you are connectable!

This tutorial is for newbies in Linux.
