Either way, SSH is the most likely means of connecting remotely.  Hopefully, you've already taken the initial steps to secure SSH...

Your firewall is there to protect your server from intrusions and similar issues. With Rocky Linux, that job is handled by firewalld, which is a powerful and flexible tool that allows you to prevent unwanted attacks. Firewalld includes a feature that many businesses depend on.
