I want to set up ufw on my server, but something wrong here. Even when I trying to block 22 port ssh still working and nothing changing. I have ufw enabled, but nothing works.

So you want to block port 22? Yet the rule you added allows access, or am I misunderstanding?

You probably need to be DENY instead of ALLOW if that's what you're wanting to accomplish.

This! You have it set to “Allow”, so it’s allowing it. You need to set it to Deny.

Is this a troll post or are you really struggling?

sudo ufw delete allow 22

Is this a public facing server? If it isn't the online port port scanners will not work as they are scanning your public IP. Also they are unreliable in general. Best tool for the job is nmap. It has a ton of config options so you will need to do some reading. (Definitely worth the learn)

, no, I want to open, for example this port, but:

Do you have something listening on port 52038 that will respond to a port scan? If not it will report as closed.

It's my port for wireguard and here what I can't understand: when I blocking port for this wireguard service I still can use wireguard even if ufw deny it.

[–] sugar_in_your_tea@sh.itjust.works 5 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Wireguard appears as closed unless it receives the proper packet.

[–] someoneFromInternet@lemmy.ml 1 points 3 weeks ago

that's what I looked for

[–] MangoPenguin@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Is wireguard incoming or outgoing from the machine you're trying to block it on?

[–] someoneFromInternet@lemmy.ml 1 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

outgoing, I guess. I mean, it's on my vps which I want to use for vpn

[–] MangoPenguin@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Make sure you're creating a block rule specifically on outgoing in that case.

[–] someoneFromInternet@lemmy.ml 1 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

when I just use ufw allow [port] command it'll not work?

[–] MangoPenguin@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 3 weeks ago

Outgoing should already allow everything, so no need to specifically allow it.

[–] schizo@forum.uncomfortable.business 4 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

That's a website tool checking? It's almost certainly only going to check TCP, since most of them don't do anything with UDP because it's... more complicated.

You may need to find an alternate way to do that, something like iperf or netcat (nc -u ip port)

nmap works great for this

traceroute might also be usable vith the -p switch I guess?
