UFW is blocking the selfhosted Discovery Server

I run my own relay and discovery server on my server. Both services run behind a firewall (UFW) and the ports are open.

The relay server (port 8014) works fine. However, UFW blocks the Discovery Server on port 8015. Clients only appear for a short time and disappear again

I hope you can give me a hint.

netstat -anp | grep 8014 (Relay Server --> works)

Sorry but this is very confusing. You say that you run a relay, post logs of a device, yet explain that discovery doesn’t work. I am not sure whats the relevance of all 3 components to the problem. If discovery fails, post logs of discovery failing on the client.

Also, the device logs show an attempt for a direct connection, so not sure how is that even relevant.
