Fresh Webmin install on Ubuntu 20.04 on Amazon Lightsail * I added the line to iptables as per their instructions:
sudo iptables -A INPUT -p tcp -m tcp --dport 10000 -j ACCEPT
* I have added port 10000/tcp to ufw also. * When I go to the browser https://myip:10000 the browser stays loading for a while then says:
cant open the page because the server where this page is located isn't responding
What am I missing? **Edit:** When I run sudo service webmin status I get this:
