What does this issue mean: "Sorry, we encountered an error updating firewall"?

Posted on November 14, 2019

See this image. I’m currently unable to edit the networking / firewall for my droplet on my account (username: tech@techmark.co). I first noticed this issue awhile ago, like Thursday of last week maybe? I hoped it would just go away by the new week.

The error is not informative. It happens when I try to add a new inbound firewall rule, or delete an existing rule. I am trying to open a new port is all (tried ports: 6000, 9000).

Thanks.
