We create a root-access user. Note that this step is optional.
* Once connected, create a new user with root access (for this guide we use "newuser")
* ```
```
adduser newuser
```
* You should now see the new user directory
* ```
```
ls /home
```
* Give sudo capacity to the new user
* ```
```
usermod -aG sudo newuser
```
* Switch to the new user
* ```
```
su - newuser
```
* Create a directory to store the public key
* ```
```
mkdir ~/.ssh
```
* Give read, write and execute permissions for the directory to the new user
* ```
```
chmod 700 ~/.ssh
```
* Add the SSH public key in the file **authorized_keys** and save it
* ```
```
nano ~/.ssh/authorized_keys

* Exit the VM

```
exit

* Reconnect with the new user

For our security rules, we want to allow SSH, HTTP and HTTPS (443 and 8443).
We thus add the following rules:
* Allow SSH (port 22)
* ```
```
sudo ufw allow ssh
```
* Allow port 4001
* ```
```
sudo ufw allow 4001
```
* To enable the firewall, write the following:
* ```
```
sudo ufw enable

* To see the current security rules, write the following:
* ```
```
sudo ufw status verbose
```
You now have enabled the firewall with proper security rules for your IPFS deployment.
