Having not much exposure to working in consoles, I am not sure in which console I need to put commands.
Or are they just alternative way to get the same work done?
Hi @DigitalSplendid,
You can try and allow your IP address in your droplet’s firewall.
Please try with the following lines
You can replace XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX with your own personal IP address. To get your own IP address, click here
As soon as you’ve added your IP, save the iptables configuration
If you wish to read more on Iptables and how to use them, you can check this DO article - Iptables Essentials
