Hello, @billyhawaii1991
Is there any service listening on port 6000 at the moment? The port won’t be considered “open” until something is listening on it.
You can also use UFW if you want to use it to control the firewall rules
- sudo ufw allow 6000
You can check the tutorial for Ubuntu 18.04 here:

Hope that this helps! Regards, Alex
