When / why

Standard web traffic. Typically redirected to 443 for TLS.

Protocol status detail

TCP Yes Assigned by IANA and standardized, specified, or widely used on this port.
UDP Yes Assigned by IANA and standardized, specified, or widely used on this port.
SCTP Not applicable for this transport.
DCCP Not applicable for this transport.

Port range

Well-known (0–1023). System port for a core service. On Unix-like systems, binding it requires superuser privileges.

Firewall rules for port 80

Copy-ready inbound rules for the active transports. Replace every <source> placeholder with the specific host, subnet, or CIDR that should reach this port.

ufw

sudo ufw allow proto tcp from <source> to any port 80

Allow TCP 80 (HTTP). Replace <source> with the network/host that should reach it.

sudo ufw allow proto udp from <source> to any port 80

Allow UDP 80 (HTTP). 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="80" protocol="tcp" accept'

Allow TCP 80 (HTTP) from <source>. Run 'firewall-cmd --reload' afterwards.

sudo firewall-cmd --permanent --add-rich-rule='rule family="ipv4" source address="<source>" port port="80" protocol="udp" accept'

Allow UDP 80 (HTTP) from <source>. Run 'firewall-cmd --reload' afterwards.

nftables

nft add rule inet filter input ip saddr <source> tcp dport 80 accept

Allow TCP 80 (HTTP). Assumes table 'inet filter' with an 'input' chain.

nft add rule inet filter input ip saddr <source> udp dport 80 accept

Allow UDP 80 (HTTP). Assumes table 'inet filter' with an 'input' chain.

iptables

sudo iptables -A INPUT -p tcp -s <source> --dport 80 -j ACCEPT

Allow TCP 80 (HTTP). Persist with iptables-save/netfilter-persistent.

sudo iptables -A INPUT -p udp -s <source> --dport 80 -j ACCEPT

Allow UDP 80 (HTTP). Persist with iptables-save/netfilter-persistent.

Azure NSG

az network nsg rule create -g <resource-group> --nsg-name <nsg> -n Allow-http-80 --priority 1000 --access Allow --direction Inbound --protocol "*" --source-address-prefixes <source> --destination-port-ranges 80

Inbound rule for 80 (HTTP). Set <source> to a CIDR; lower priority number = higher precedence.

AWS Security Group

aws ec2 authorize-security-group-ingress --group-id <sg-id> --ip-permissions IpProtocol=tcp,FromPort=80,ToPort=80,IpRanges="[{CidrIp=<source-cidr>}]"

Inbound TCP 80 (HTTP). Replace <source-cidr> (e.g. 10.0.0.0/16).

aws ec2 authorize-security-group-ingress --group-id <sg-id> --ip-permissions IpProtocol=udp,FromPort=80,ToPort=80,IpRanges="[{CidrIp=<source-cidr>}]"

Inbound UDP 80 (HTTP). Replace <source-cidr> (e.g. 10.0.0.0/16).

GCP firewall

gcloud compute firewall-rules create allow-http-80 --direction=INGRESS --action=ALLOW --rules=tcp:80,udp:80 --source-ranges=<source-cidr> --network=<network>

Ingress rule for 80 (HTTP). Scope with --source-ranges and optionally --target-tags.

Windows netsh

netsh advfirewall firewall add rule name="Allow HTTP 80/TCP" dir=in action=allow protocol=TCP localport=80 remoteip=<source>

Inbound TCP 80 (HTTP). Set remoteip to a host/subnet; 'any' is discouraged.

netsh advfirewall firewall add rule name="Allow HTTP 80/UDP" dir=in action=allow protocol=UDP localport=80 remoteip=<source>

Inbound UDP 80 (HTTP). Set remoteip to a host/subnet; 'any' is discouraged.

Windows PowerShell

New-NetFirewallRule -DisplayName "Allow HTTP 80/TCP" -Direction Inbound -Action Allow -Protocol TCP -LocalPort 80 -RemoteAddress <source>

Inbound TCP 80 (HTTP). Replace <source> with a host or subnet.

New-NetFirewallRule -DisplayName "Allow HTTP 80/UDP" -Direction Inbound -Action Allow -Protocol UDP -LocalPort 80 -RemoteAddress <source>

Inbound UDP 80 (HTTP). 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.
