# Allow HTTPS Through Your UFW Firewall
|
|
|
|
UFW -- Uncomplicated Firewall -- is just what is sounds like. I have it
|
|
running on a DigitalOcean box and it is only letting through traffic on
|
|
ports 80 (HTTP) and 22 (SSH). I am setting up SSL for a domain hosted on
|
|
this box which means I need to also let through traffic on 443 (HTTPS).
|
|
|
|
The allowed ports can be checked with the `status` command:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
$ sudo ufw status
|
|
|
|
Status: active
|
|
|
|
To Action From
|
|
-- ------ ----
|
|
OpenSSH ALLOW Anywhere
|
|
Nginx HTTP ALLOW Anywhere
|
|
OpenSSH (v6) ALLOW Anywhere (v6)
|
|
Nginx HTTP (v6) ALLOW Anywhere (v6)
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
As we can see, `HTTPS` has not yet been allowed by `ufw`. We can _allow_
|
|
HTTPS traffic with the `allow` command.
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
$ sudo ufw allow https
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Check the status again and see that `HTTPS` is now included in the list.
