hostinger-cloud-firewall-is-upstream-gate-not-ufw

Hostinger’s cloud firewall (configured via VPS panel / MCP getFirewallListV1) operates upstream of the VM and blocks all ports except 22/80/443/18789/ICMP before packets reach the VPS. UFW is a second in-VM layer; Docker bypasses UFW but not the cloud firewall. The real defense-in-depth order is: Hostinger cloud firewall → DOCKER-USER iptables chain → UFW → container.
