Hi all,
I use GUFW and Transmission in Ubuntu 18.04.1LTS x64. My Transmission has the default settings. I followed this guide(https://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1876124) to set GUFW. But it's unclear for me how to set GUFW for Transmission. Here is my configuration in GUFW: (see the attached image).

And, here is my test:
- Turn off GUFW, then launch Transmission. Wait 2min, then the download speed is good. Then exit Transmission.
- Turn on GUFW, then launch Transmission. Wait 30min, the download speed is always 0, and there is no peers at all. Then turn off GUFW. Wait 2 min, the download speed is good again.

So, it seems that GUFW blocks Transmission.


But how to set GUFW for Transmission?


P.S.
On that post, @CoyoteMX gave another answer(https://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1876124&p=12248929#post12248929): @Azrael84; Hey, I had the same problem with Transmisson, you just have to add a rule for 80,6969/udp, wich are the ports used by trackers, cheers.

But, what does "80,6969/udp" mean? 1) 80(tcp and udp),and 6969(udp) , or 2) 80(udp), and 6969(udp)
And, what are the directions for ports 80 and 6969? (In or Out? or, In and Out? )


Cheers
