Hello,
I installed the firewall but now I can not access with SSH. Please what should I do?
I followed this guide: https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-setup-a-firewall-with-ufw-on-an-ubuntu-and-debian-cloud-server
Thank you.
Regards, Gabriel

Before enabling the firewall, did you open a port in order to access the server using SSH? Normally this would be port 22. You can open it with:
But if you’ve changed your ssh port to something else, you’ll need to specify it explicitly. For instance, if you’ve changed it to 2222:
You should be able to access your droplet via the web console in order to add new rules.
Thanks
