Disabling Firewall

To disable a firewall on your server, follow these steps depending on the firewall application you are using:

For systems using iptables:
- Check the status of iptables:
sudo systemctl status iptables - Disable iptables temporarily:
sudo systemctl stop iptables - Disable iptables permanently:
sudo systemctl disable iptables
For systems using firewalld:
- Check the status of firewalld:
sudo firewall-cmd –state - Disable firewalld temporarily:
sudo systemctl stop firewalld - Disable firewalld permanently:
sudo systemctl disable firewalld
2. Disabling Firewall on Windows:
- Open the Control Panel.
- Navigate to System and Security > Windows Defender Firewall.
- Click Turn Windows Defender Firewall on or off.
- Select Turn off Windows Defender Firewall under both Private network settings and Public network settings, then click OK.
Using Command Line:
- Open Command Prompt with Administrator privileges.

3. Disabling Cloud Firewall:
If your server uses a cloud provider firewall (such as IP ServerOne’s cloud firewall):

⚠️ Important Note: Disabling a firewall can leave your system vulnerable to attacks. Ensure you have alternative security measures in place or re-enable the firewall as soon as possible after troubleshooting.
