Is there a way to use Cockpit while UFW is enabled?

I currently have Ubuntu 20.04 installed. I'm having issues with UFW that are preventing me from using Cockpit. When I try to load IP:9090 into Firefox, it will just continuously try to load with a blank page nonstop. I also had an issues where UFW was preventing me from doing SSH from the terminal, but I did some research online and worked around it withsudo ufw allow ssh, but I digress.

I tried doing more online research as for (active) UFW not allowing me to use Cockpit/navigate to IP:9090 in Firefox, but I didn't have much luck with it. I did try installing Apache to see if that would help. I'd used sudo ufw app list. As the list brought up SSH and Apache, I typed sudo ufw allow 'Apache' which didn't work, so I typed sudo ufw allow 'Apache Full', which didn't work either. I'm definitely new, so I'm not even 100% sure if messing with Apache was the right direction to begin with. It's just what was recommended when I tried researching this problem online.

I input sudo systemctl status cockpit.socket in the terminal, and it says that it's active (listening).

I'm at a loss as to what to do next. Does anyone have a recommended course of action that I should try?

Welcome to AskUbuntu. Have you confirmed that the Cockpit agent is running?

Yes, I did input ```sudo systemctl status cockpit.socket``` into the Terminal and it does state that it's active (listening).

Cockpit's cockpit-ws component is configured by default to accept connections on port 9090 . This is the port that is documented for a "Web-based System Manager" to listen on. It is also relatively memorable.

Open the terminal and type:

sudo ufw allow 9090

Most people don’t grasp that asking a lot of questions unlocks learning and improves interpersonal bonding. In Alison’s studies, for example, though people could accurately recall how many questions had been asked in their conversations, they didn’t intuit the link between questions and liking. Across four studies, in which participants were engaged in conversations themselves or read transcripts of others’ conversations, people tended not to realize that question asking would influence—or had influenced—the level of amity between the conversationalists.
