Having firewall is important as you aren't always in your trusted home
network and with IPv6 your devices have public IPv6 addresses.
*Threat model: service I am not aware of or that I accidentally make
listen wider than intended and with UFW I am aware of what ports are
allowed. I assume any host is going to move randomly and not
whitelisting only from certain addresses as that address can be
encountered anywhere.*
This post first has list of commands, then explanations.

* previously I used `ufw limit` but it seems to be too oversensitive,
just use SSHGuard.
* Deny incoming connections unless the port has been whitelisted.

113. This makes ident checking IRC servers connect faster as they don't
have to timeout. If you run shell server (for IRC purpouses) you should
allow this instead.

network

needed outside local network

from LAN. This seems risky too, but risks can be limited by only
using this rule with static hosts.

to wait for the check to timeout, don't do this as you may leave
yourself visible to random port scanners.

access to port only from specific addresses, only for devices that
aren't going anywhere and if IPv6 isn't cared about. (TODO: How to do
it IPv6? I have faint idea of UFW not supporting it).
