sudo ufw allow proto tcp from <source> to any port 22000

Allow TCP 22000 (Syncthing). Replace <source> with the network/host that should reach it.

sudo ufw allow proto udp from <source> to any port 22000

Allow UDP 22000 (Syncthing). Replace <source> with the network/host that should reach it.

firewalld

sudo firewall-cmd --permanent --add-rich-rule='rule family="ipv4" source address="<source>" port port="22000" protocol="tcp" accept'

Allow TCP 22000 (Syncthing) from <source>. Run 'firewall-cmd --reload' afterwards.

sudo firewall-cmd --permanent --add-rich-rule='rule family="ipv4" source address="<source>" port port="22000" protocol="udp" accept'

New-NetFirewallRule -DisplayName "Allow Syncthing 22000/UDP" -Direction Inbound -Action Allow -Protocol UDP -LocalPort 22000 -RemoteAddress <source>

Inbound UDP 22000 (Syncthing). Replace <source> with a host or subnet.

Rules are generated only for transports marked active for this port. They default to an inbound allow with an explicit source placeholder — never any. Review direction, scope, and rule precedence before applying in production.
