Step 1: Reset UFW Rules

sudo ufw reset

This will disable UFW and remove all rules. You will be prompted to confirm.

sudo ufw default deny incoming
sudo ufw default allow outgoing
sudo ufw allow ssh
sudo ufw enable

⚠️ Reset will disconnect existing connections. Ensure you have console access or allow SSH before enabling again.
