I have a digitalocean cloud server (Ubuntu 16.04
) that I have setup my ufw
on. When I try to run apt-get update
, I get the following:

ufw
has been configured to allow apt-get
by allowing port 53 and port 123. Even disabling ufw
produces the same results, I've been googling the problem and it seems very common, but none of the fixes for it have worked for me, does anybody know of any fixes for this issue?
