  4. UFW (a.k.a. Uncomplicated Firewall) is a security tool pre-installed in Ubuntu-based Linux distributions. It's usually disabled by default, but on server systems, it might be active and running.

Since the firewall is crucial for system security, it is recommended to keep it enabled and instead allow (or permit) the necessary ports for external access. If you're new to Linux and unsure how to do this, this article is here to guide you.
