How to view firewall for a DigitalOcean droplet

DigitalOcean Cloud Firewalls can be described as a network-based firewall service for Droplets. It comes at no additional price and blocks all traffic that is not permitted specifically by any rule.

If you are looking for a way to view the firewall rules applied to a DigitalOcean Droplet, you have come to the right place. Our Support Techs have an easy way to get this done.

We will click the Droplet’s name and head to the Networking page linked in the left-hand menu.

In case firewalls have not been applied to the Droplet yet, the page will display a message to this effect. Moreover, it will also offer a Manage Firewalls button that leads to the firewalls overview page as seen below:

Once we apply at least one firewall to the Droplet, the name will appear below the Firewalls section. Furthermore, the union of the Firewalls’ rules will also be displayed.

In case two firewalls consist of identical rules, we will be able to see only one in the table.
