ufw: Disable ufw.
$ ufw disable
try on your machine

The command ufw disable is used to disable the Uncomplicated Firewall (UFW) on a Linux system. UFW is a frontend for configuring the built-in iptables firewall rules in Linux.

When ufw is disabled, it means that the firewall rules set by ufw are not implemented and the system is no longer protected by the firewall. It allows all incoming and outgoing network traffic without any restrictions.

Note that to use this command, you may need administrative privileges, such as running it with superuser (root) permissions or using sudo before the command.

This explanation was created by an AI. In most cases those are correct. But please always be careful and never run a command you are not sure if it is safe.
