UFW not allowing Transmission to transfer
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.

Where can I find that preset on Ubuntu 16.04's gufw?

Just enable UFW from gufw and under rules, click the + button. This brings you to the Preconfigured tab on the Add a Firewall Rule dialog. On this tab, click the Application drop-down and Transmission is available in the list of applications if it's installed (which is should be by default).

when you have set these you should see your port in RED in Listening Report
