Hello,

Could anyone tell me where I can access my firewall settings with ubuntu? I'm trying to modify it to allow access to certain websites using different ports and I can't find an interface to change anything.

Your best using ufw (https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuFirewall) open terminal and type ufw for a list of available commands.

ufw

If you would prefer a graphical frontend to ufw rthan CLI you could install gufw (http://gufw.tuxfamily.org/index.html)

sudo apt-get install gufw

by default the firewall does not prevent you from accessing anything.
