Question
Allow connection to a Flask app only from Angular app
Hi there!
I have Flask (port 5000) and Angular (port 80) running on my droplet. I’d like to allow connections to my Flask backend only from the Angular app. I configure my firewall rules using ufw
. From what I understand, the commands below should do the trick:
sudo ufw deny 5000/tcp
sudo ufw allow from 159.203.105.68 to any port 5000 proto tcp
Unfortunately they doesn’t work and I end up with the Flask app being inaccessible from any IP. Is there any other way to achieve my goal? Perhaps other ufw
rules?
