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.
