Please have a playbook template to deploy a Firewall in Ansible, there are not many on the internet, I have tried with them but they don’t work for me, not Ansible firewallD, I was trying with UFW but I have not had any results either. Please someone who can help me with this issue, I thank in advance whoever does it for help. ---

Sounds like ansible is totally irrelevant to you. First pick a firewall that suits your requirements and only then look how to automate it. ---

Excuse me, I’m new to ansible. I don’t know if you can help me, how can I check that the port of the firewall that I implemented was blocked or the change was made in the host node, the playbook has already run but I need to know how to do the rest ---

Try nmap to check whether ports are open or not. Regards          Racke ---

Or netcat, which is lighterweight and tends to upset security people less. ---
