My preferred option is to have the VPS inside a VPC that blocks all external traffic by default. Then I can open up specific ports for specific IP ranges.
The reason I prefer this over a firewall configuration on the VPS itself is that the latter seems far more error-prone to me. For example, I've had problems in the past with ufw and Docker where container ports were still reachable even though access was denied via ufw.
