Well it seems ufw is there, but it must not be running automatically, but it does not fix the port problem. I did sudo ufw allow ssh it said tcp port allowed or something like that so I checked on the other computer with nmap 100 ports closed So I did sudo ufw restart and the other computer said 999 ports filtered tcp port 22 closed. I've done iptables too, but that does not stay after a reboot. if I do sudo ufw status it shows tcp port 22 allow but it does not stay from a reboot. I've found that the seeingAI "document" is best for accuracy of reading the screen. I do the clear command between commands so seeingAI only reads the new stuff.

That firewall started on boot. Maybe man -k firewall on that system would tell you which firewall is running.
