ufw (Uncomplicated Firewall) is a user-friendly command-line front end for managing iptables/netfilter firewall rules on Linux systems, commonly used to simplify allowing or blocking network ports and services.

Netban, a Bash script posted on dev.to, bans an SSH bot's whole /24 for 24 hours by default. Its author built it after one bot tripped Wazuh 91 times. Bans live in a separate nftables table and expire by themselves, leaving existing UFW or firewalld rules untouched.
Reality
One developer's audit of a self-hosted OpenClaw agent found four ports Docker opened past ufw and watchdog crons using about 1,340 LLM turns a week. The repairs bind container ports to loopback, and the author now measures agent cost as quota by counting task runs.
Reality
A dev.to layering guide for self-hosted Laravel admins runs from ufw defaults through ModSecurity to a five-per-minute login limiter. Both fail2ban and that limiter depend on resolving the real client IP.
Reality
Putting sshd on a WireGuard tailnet and deleting the public firewall rule is a twenty-minute change. The part worth reviewing is the admin-console toggle that keeps a headless box from logging itself out.
Reality
A sysadmin's incident writeup argues the reboot reflex destroys the evidence you need. Its fixed check order is the useful part, though only two of the five steps survive in the published text.
