I have a 12.04.4 server, and I have enabled ufw, and have tried to block port 8080. However, it is still open.

$ sudo ufw deny 8080

$ sudo ufw status numbered

Thoughts? I can still access the website that is on 8080. I have rebooted the system several times. The IP address is handled via static assignment, but I can't find anything that would indicate that that is the problem.

The service I'm trying to block is on a docker instance, however this question did not help.
