  1. Open your console and select your project in which you want to open a port.
  2. Go to VPC networking and open a firewall from the list.
  3. Click on create firewall rule and give a unique name and don’t change any default values.
  4. In the targets section select “specific target tags” and in the next column specify the target tag names which you specified in your instances.
  5. In the Source filter select “IP ranges” and give the IP address as 0.0.0.0/0.
  6. Next in the protocols and ports select “Specific protocols and ports'' and select TCP and give the port number as 5078.
  7. Click on create and the firewall rule will be created.
  8. If you want to check whether your firewall rule will be added or not. open your instances and click on three dots and open view network details And you will find the Under firewall and route details click on firewall rules and you can see the firewall rule with port number 5078.
