Need to configure UFW (Ubuntu Firewall) to allow traffic on local testnet

[JohnWave]

Hello there!

I recently compiled bitshares form the source code and was having issues connecting cli_wallet to the witness node.

After some reading int he forum, someone has suggested disabling ufw altogether and reboot.

That actually worked however I am weary of leaving my cloud server exposed with no firewall up.

Here are is the CLI command with the error.

$ ./cli_wallet --wallet-file=my-wallet.json --chain-id (THIS IS MY CHAIN ID - I REMOVED IT FROM HERE) --server-rpc-endpoint=ws://127.0.0.1:11011

Logging RPC to file: logs/rpc/rpc.log

    asio  websocket.cpp:449 operator()

    {"uri":"ws://127.0.0.1:11011"}
    th_a  websocket.cpp:678 connect

Does anyone know how to have the CLI play nice with UFW?

Thank you in advance!
