Category: VPS Setup

Remove UFW rules on Ubuntu when needed—install with

apt install ufw

add rules like

ufw allow 22

and

ufw allow 80

then enable with

ufw enable

List with

ufw status numbered

—e g \"[1] 22/tcp ALLOW Anywhere\" Delete rule 1 with

ufw delete 1

confirm with \"y\" and recheck status—expect \"22\" gone Add back if needed with

ufw allow 22

On DigitalOcean this adjusts MySQL or FTP access—test SSH after deletion with

ssh user@ip

(expect failure) ensuring uptime by refining rules dynamically without rebooting
