Firewall upstream of VPS server?

Hello
I have an Ubuntu 20.04 server and am trying to enable nginx on port 8080.
The nginx config is fine - i am able to test it with curl :8080 on the local machine.

● ufw.service - Uncomplicated firewall
Loaded: loaded (/lib/systemd/system/ufw.service; disabled; vendor preset: enabled)
Active: inactive (dead)
Docs: man:ufw(8)

iptables -L
Chain INPUT (policy ACCEPT)
target prot opt source destination
Chain FORWARD (policy ACCEPT)
target prot opt source destination
Chain OUTPUT (policy ACCEPT)
target prot opt source destination

Yet i still cant access via internet on port 8080.
Is there any other firewall that are preconfigured on these VPS

I have disabled the OVH IP firewall also - so there should be nothing blocking this.
Really stuck and would appreciate any help.

Thanks heaps
H
