Recommended ufw settings for your https site

allowing ssh

NOTE: the default port for ssh is 22, and when you allow ssh below, that's the port that will be allowed. If you configured your vps to login using a different port, you must use sudo allow <portnumber> instead (i.e. sudo allow 2222 if your port is 2222).

- This is very important, or you will lock yourself out of ssh!

$ sudo ufw allow ssh

or

$ sudo ufw allow 2222

Allowing http

$ sudo allow 80/tcp

Allowing https

$ sudo allow 443/tcp

Cheking status

Once you're done you can check your status using sudo ufw stats and will see something like this:

22                         ALLOW       Anywhere
80/tcp                     ALLOW       Anywhere
443/tcp                    ALLOW       Anywhere
22 (v6)                    ALLOW       Anywhere (v6)
12543 (v6)                 ALLOW       Anywhere (v6)
80/tcp (v6)                ALLOW       Anywhere (v6)
443/tcp (v6)               ALLOW       Anywhere (v6)
