## Install and configure ufw
1. Install the ufw package

```
apt install ufw
```

2. Set the default ufw policies

```
ufw default deny incoming 
ufw default allow outgoing
```

3. Allow required traffic

>[!note]
>For the purpose of a basic Evilginx setup on a remote server we will allow ssh, dns, and https but add other services as necessary for your setup

```
ufw allow ssh
ufw allow 53
ufw allow https
```

4. Enable the firewall

```
ufw enable
```

At this point your server has **BASIC** protections.
