How can I open a range of ports in ubuntu using (g)ufw












32














I have to open up a group of ports.



Adding the single ports to (g)ufw was easy enough but I can't work out how to open the range 11200-11299.



How do I do that?






firewall ufw gufw

          You can specify port ranges to ufw (the command-line one), using : (colon) to separate the lowest and the highest port in the range. For example:



          ufw allow 11200:11299/tcp


          Note that the protocol part (/tcp or /udp) is mandatory with port ranges.



          This works at least since Ubuntu 10.04.

            +1. By the way ufw allow also opens ports for IPv6 by default.

          Either



          ufw allow 11200:11299/tcp
          
ufw allow 11200:11299/udp


          or if you need to use a from source ip range you must use full syntax



          ufw allow from AAA.BBB.CCC.DDD/EE to any port 11200:11299 proto tcp
          
ufw allow from AAA.BBB.CCC.DDD/EE to any port 11200:11299 proto udp

          I believe you can specify the range in the last tab of new rule, tick the checkbox at the bottom of the window to add more options (just to be safe). The range can be specified as 1000:1010 to open ports 1000-1010.

          The cleanest command line way I've seen is a little script like this:



          for i in `seq 11200 11299`; do
          
  ufw allow $i
          
done

            I feel like this is an absolutely terrible idea. something about the idea of having hundreds of firewall rules terrifies me.

            Allowing a range (11200:11299) is definitely cleaner.

          Its worth adding that if you want to restrict to a specific IP address which is allowed access to those ports you can use the following:



          ufw allow proto tcp from 1.2.3.4 to any port 40000:40100

            I believe you can specify the range in the last tab of new rule, tick the checkbox at the bottom of the window to add more options (just to be safe). The range can be specified as 1000:1010 to open ports 1000-1010.

            The cleanest command line way I've seen is a little script like this:



            for i in `seq 11200 11299`; do
            
  ufw allow $i
            
done

              I feel like this is an absolutely terrible idea. something about the idea of having hundreds of firewall rules terrifies me.

              Allowing a range (11200:11299) is definitely cleaner.

            Its worth adding that if you want to restrict to a specific IP address which is allowed access to those ports you can use the following:



            ufw allow proto tcp from 1.2.3.4 to any port 40000:40100

                    Ellipse (mathématiques)

                    Image
                    Pour les articles homonymes, voir Ellipse. L'ellipse est le lieu des points dont la somme des distances à deux points fixes, dits foyers, est constante. Section du cône ou projection du cercle. En géométrie, une ellipse est une courbe plane fermée obtenue par l’intersection d’un cône de révolution avec un plan, à condition que celui-ci coupe l'axe de rotation du cône ou du cylindre : c'est une conique d'excentricité strictement comprise entre 0 et 1. On peut également la définir comme le lieu des points dont la somme des distances à deux points fixes, dits foyers, est constante (sa construction par la méthode du jardinier est très simple). Dans la vie courante, l’ellipse est la forme qu'on perçoit en regardant un cercle en perspective, ou la figure formée par l’ombre d'un disque sur une surface plane. On retrouve aussi, en première approximation [ 1 ] , des ellipses dans les trajectoires des corps célestes (planètes, comètes ou satellites arti...

                    Quarter-circle Tiles

                    Image
                    up vote 0 down vote favorite I have $99$ identical square tiles, each with a quarter-circle drawn on it like this: [asy] size(1.5cm); draw(Arc((2,0),1,90,180),red+1); draw((0,0)--(2,0)--(2,2)--(0,2)--(0,0)); [/asy] When I arrange the tiles in a $9times 11$ rectangular grid, each with a random orientation, what is the expected value of the number of full circles I form? I think this problem has to do with finding the chance any given 2x2 square has a circle, but I can't find it. expected-value share | cite | improve this question asked Nov 20 at 15:03 6minecraftninja 1 2 ...
