NAT and FORWARD with Ubuntu’s ufw firewall

UFW

I use Ubuntu’s Uncomplicated firewall because it is available on Ubuntu and it's very simple.

Install UFW

if ufw is not installed by default be sure to install it first.

Nginx: What is server_names_hash_bucket_size?

Background

While I'm learning how to use Nginx, I was instructed to update the server_names_hash_bucket_size (/etc/nginx/nginx.conf) value from 32 to 64, but I don't understand why should I increase the value to 64.
