Hello, @jpcopeela
You need to make sure you port is open in order to successfully receive connections on it. You can do this using iptables:
iptables -A INPUT -p tcp -m tcp --dport PORT -j ACCEPT
Save iptables:
iptables-save
You can also check if ufw is running:
ufw status
Let me know if you have any questions.
