I have set the rules in ufw for Transmission but when I try to use it it will not transfer and it also says the port is closed when checked under preferences.

If I turn the UFW firewall off it still says that the port is closed but it transfers fine. I then can turn the UFW back on and it continues to work. I have tried setting up port forwarding in my router (Asus rtn12 using DD-WRT 17990) but that has no effect on the closed port message or transferring.

Is there a specific port that should be opened in UFW to allow the transfers or am I just missing something?

I'm a linux nube so please explain any answers a little more thoroughly than normal. Thanks in advance.

Add a rule using the gufw (the UFW GUI) program to allow the port that's set in Transmission. Actually, gufw has a handy preset for Transmission.
