Open UDP Ports via UFW

Start by installing uwf:

sudo apt-get install ufw

Then you should enable ufw:

sudo ufw enable

Don't do my mistake and lock yourself out of ssh:

sudo ufw allow ssh

To allow ports and protocols:

sudo ufw allow 30010/udp

To check the ufw status simply:

sudo ufw status

Firewall loaded
