How do I set a basic Linux firewall (UFW)?

Short answer: On Ubuntu/Debian use UFW to allow only needed ports. Never enable UFW before adding an SSH (22) allow rule.

Steps

Connect over SSH.
Run `sudo ufw allow OpenSSH` or `sudo ufw allow 22/tcp`.
Add required service ports (e.g. 80, 443).
Run `sudo ufw enable` and verify with `sudo ufw status`.

To avoid lockout on VDS, know how to open VNC Console from the client area first. Create a support ticket
