Sure, I can help with that. You’ll want to configure your firewall to allow TCP port 36330 both inbound and outbound from your home network. Check your router or ISP settings for the correct IP address range you’re using, then set up rules on your Ubuntu server to permit those ports. Make sure to test the configuration after changes so SSH remains functional while keeping your traffic secure.

The simplest method to configure the firewall in a terminal setup is using UFW. Install it with sudo, then add the rule to allow traffic on port 36330 via sudo, and finally enable it.

Enable port forwarding in your router's firewall configuration. Be mindful that certain ISPs may restrict this feature or charge per port opened.

On my side or on the server's side? It depends on what you're asking about. Could you clarify your question?

I'll attempt that. To maintain SSH access when it's unavailable, you need to allow port 22 in UFW.

Enable SSH access by permitting the connection in the firewall settings.

It seems unclear what the objective is. Are you aiming to alter the server using an app, or are you attempting to reach the server from outside your local network? Levent can assist with the former. Port Forwarding would be suitable for the latter.

Sorry! I need to clarify—I rented a Linux server and wish to link to it using a monitoring tool. The program "FAHClient" includes a built-in server-side feature that sends statistics (on Port 36330) from home. Now I need to connect to that port to track my app on the server.

You're using a server rental. If your monitoring tool is already set up, you should enable port forwarding on your router to reach it. This adds complexity. I'm unsure how typical hosting providers handle open port requests—they might allow it but likely charge a fee.

Yes the program is awaiting connection on the server. Hm someone did get it working on Google Compute engine... there you can manually set up your rules, but I did not have luck with that either... help there would also be nice. I also have some cherry servers but no idea how they handle this. Lets first care about Google Compute engine.
