The default firewall on Ubuntu 22.04 Jammy Jellyfish is ufw, which is short for “uncomplicated firewall.” When enabled, the firewall will block all incoming connections by default.

Firewall – ufw status inactive on Ubuntu 22.04 Jammy Jellyfish Linux
The default firewall on Ubuntu 22.04 Jammy Jellyfish is ufw, with is short for “uncomplicated firewall.” Ufw is a frontend for the typical Linux iptables commands, but it is developed in such a way that basic firewall tasks can be performed without the knowledge of iptables.
How to open ssh port 22 on Ubuntu 22.04 Jammy Jellyfish Linux
The SSH protocol operates on port 22 by default. In order to accept incoming connections on your SSH server, you will need to ensure that port 22 is allowed through the firewall.

How to remove iptables rule
The purpose of this tutorial is to show how to remove iptables rules on a Linux system. It is possible to remove iptables rules one at a time or to clear all of the rules in any iptables chain at once. You will soon see how.
How to make iptables persistent after reboot on Linux
The iptables firewall on Linux systems is a very useful feature that allows system administrators to control, with granular precision, what network traffic is permitted or denied to the system.
Collection of basic Linux Firewall iptables rules
The purpose of this guide is to show some of the most common iptables commands for Linux systems. iptables is the firewall built into all Linux distributions. Even distros like Ubuntu, which utilizes ufw (uncomplicated firewall), and Red Hat, which utilizes firewalld still pass their commands to iptables and use it in the background.
Mastering iptables, or at least becoming familiar with some of the most basic commands, is essential for Linux administrators. Even casual Linux users can benefit from understanding the basics of the iptables firewall, since they may be required to apply some minor configurations to it at some point. Use some of the examples below to familiarize yourself with the iptables syntax and get an idea for how it works to protect your system.
You should not apply iptables rules to a production system until you are somewhat familiar with how they work. Also be careful when applying rules to remote systems (a computer that you have established an SSH session with) because you can accidentally lock yourself out if you enter the wrong rule.

How to disable/enable firewall on AlmaLinux
firewalld is the firewall manager that comes pre-installed on AlmaLinux, whether you’ve freshly installed AlmaLinux or migrated from CentOS to AlmaLinux. By default, the firewall is turned on, meaning that a very limited number of services are able to receive incoming traffic.
This is a nice security feature, but it means that the user must be knowledgeable enough to configure the firewall whenever they install a new service on the system, like HTTPD or SSH for example. Otherwise, connections from the internet can’t reach these services.
In this guide, we’ll see how to disable or enable the firewall in AlmaLinux, along with checking the status of the firewall. These are good troubleshooting options when trying to determine if a firewall rule is blocking traffic to or from a particular service.
firewalld is simply a front end for the system’s nftables (formerly iptables) firewall. This makes the firewall easier to interact with, but essentially firewalld just translates all our commands into corresponding
nft commands. In this tutorial you will learn:
- How to check the firewall status on AlmaLinux
- How to stop firewall on AlmaLinux
- How to start firewall on AlmaLinux
- How to permanently disable firewall on AlmaLinux
- How to enable firewall to start after reboot
How to disable or enable the firewall on AlmaLinux
Using ss command on Linux
The ss command is the successor to the netstat command on Linux systems. The command is used by system administrators to see information about network connections. It allows you to check things like the status, origin, and destination of connections. In addition, ss displays route tables, interface statistics, masquerade connections, and multicast memberships.
In this guide, you’ll learn how to use the ss command through examples and explanations. We’ll show you its most common uses and everything you need to know in order to use it effectively.
In this tutorial you will learn:
- How to use
sscommand
Install firewalld on CentOS Linux system
firewalld is a front-end for the built in netfilter firewall on Linux systems. The main advantage of firewalld over using raw nftables/iptables commands is that it’s easier to use, especially for more complex firewall features like timed rules. In this regard, it’s similar to the uncomplicated firewall (ufw) that comes installed by default on Ubuntu systems.
On CentOS, firewalld is the default firewall interface and should already be installed on your system. In this guide, we’ll take you through the installation of firewalld on CentOS, which includes some basic usage commands so you can get started managing the firewall.
In this tutorial you will learn:
- How to install and update firewalld
- firewalld basic usage commands
Tips & Tricks with Netcat command on Linux
Netcat is a versatile networking utility which can be used for reading from and writing to TCP and UDP connections on arbitrary ports (as with other utilities used on Linux, ports below 1024 require root/sudo privileges). By default netcat uses TCP connections, but UDP can be specified with the -u flag. Netcat can be used as both a server and a client. When used as a server the -l flag is used to listen for a connection. Similar to the cat command, netcat can receive information from stdin and write to stdout making it great for workflows involving pipes and redirects. The nc command is typically used to evoke netcat for ease of use.
