Hi @jahangirkobir,
Depending on what firewall you are using, you can indeed use either UFW or Iptables.
If you use ufw, you need to type in the following :
sudo ufw allow 8001/tcp
If you are using Iptables, you’ll need to open all incoming connections for that port the following way :
sudo iptables -A INPUT -p tcp --dport 8001 -m conntrack --ctstate NEW,ESTABLISHED -j ACCEPT
sudo iptables -A OUTPUT -p tcp --sport 8001 -m conntrack --ctstate ESTABLISHED -j ACCEPT
