Raw
ufw-ssh-manual-fix.md

Problem: you enabled ufw on your RaspberryPi or OrangePi, but forgot to open the 22 port (rookie mistake)

Solution: manually edit ufw rules

  1. Eject sd card, connect it to your pc and mount into some directory
  2. Find /etc/ufw/user.rules
  3. Add these lines
### tuple ### allow any 22 0.0.0.0/0 any 0.0.0.0/0 in
-A ufw-user-input -p tcp --dport 22 -j ACCEPT
-A ufw-user-input -p udp --dport 22 -j ACCEPT
  1. Insert sd card in RaspberryPi or OrangePi
  2. Boot.
