It seems that you are using DigitalOcean. They offer a cloud firewall [1], which sits in front of your droplets, and you can limit inbound ports to only the necessary ones (e.g. 80, 443, SSH). I'm always using this with providers that support it, since I've managed to mistakenly open ports that should be private (either by misconfigured firewall, or due to the Docker "issue").
