How to Secure Your VPS with a Firewall
A firewall is essential for protecting your VPS from unauthorized access and malicious traffic. It filters incoming and outgoing connections based on security rules you set.
Step 1: Update Your System
sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade -y
Step 2: Install UFW (Uncomplicated Firewall)
sudo apt install ufw -y
Step 3: Allow SSH & Enable UFW
sudo ufw allow 22/tcp
sudo ufw enable
sudo ufw status
✅ Now your VPS is protected with a firewall. You can allow or deny specific ports depending on your needs.
