UFW
Uncomplicated Firewall (UFW) is a simple-to-use but powerful firewall management software. It is a wrapper around iptables, automatically writing rules for it.
UFW is accessed through the ufw executable, which on many distributions is installed to /usr/sbin--only the root user will have this program on their path. The associated systemd service file is ufw.service.
Basic Setup
This is more than sufficient for servers that are not meant to be web-facing.
ufw default deny incoming ufw default allow outgoing ufw allow ssh ufw allow 22
If using custom ports, adjust as needed. This would be set in /etc/ssh/sshd_config.
HTTP
Regardless of httpd flavor (Apache, NGINX, lighttpd, etc), this basic configuration should suffice. First the unencrypted port, then the encrypted port.
ufw allow http ufw allow 80 ufw allow https ufw allow 443
If using custom ports, adjust as needed.
FTP
First the unencrypted port, then the encrypted (FTPS, not SFTP) port.
ufw allow 20/tcp ufw allow 21/tcp ufw allow 989/tcp ufw allow 990/tcp
Passive configuration also utilizes a pool of ports. This is an example--not recommended--configuration for vsftpd.
ufw allow 40000:42000/tcp
Recommended to use custom ports, so adjust as needed.
