is it blocked by the firewall if any?

Hi everybody,*
I installed the latest release of linuxlite,
The *openssh-server is installed, i can access from the local machine via ssh, *but not from a remote machine.
Something like a firewall blocks the connexion ??? *the connection ??. I didn't activate any firewall , I use it as I installed it.

I have the same problem with xrdp: * I can connect with rdesktop from the local machine , but not from a remote one

for this reason I suspect firewall, if so hoe to disable it !!
thanks *a lot for help

In general Linux comes with firewall. Usually iptables and these days may have firewalld as a front end.

I'm not familiar with Linuxlite but this post suggests it does in fact have firewall and may help you:

I think iptables is your friend on this case
