I've been working on getting a damn port open for the last 3 hours i've googled everything and tried 4 pages of google searches and i can't get it to open. Running Ubuntu 16.04; LAMP is installed on the server too. Mohaa is obviously there as well but i've been testing some newer things so i have been pissing with this forever now it feels.

I'm trying to open port 12679, i used sudo ufw allow 12679 and it shows its an open port but when i use -netstat -tanp it doesn't show the TCP port of 12679 being open :|

I've got another server running ubuntu 18.04 and i used the ufw to alllow http, https, sftp and ssh access and that all works.. So i don't understand why i can't get this to work.
