I am new to Ansible, I am only using a central machine and a host node on Ubuntu server, for which I have to deploy a firewall; I was able to make the SSH connections and the execution of the playbook. What I need to know is how to verify that the port I described in the playbook was blocked or opened, either on the controller machine and on the host node. Thanks

According your question

How to verify that the port I described in the playbook was blocked or opened, either on the controller machine and on the host node?

you may are looking for an approach like

- name: "Test connection to NFS_SERVER: {{ NFS_SERVER }}"
  wait_for:
    host: "{{ NFS_SERVER }}"
    port: "{{ item }}"
    state: drained
    delay: 0
    timeout: 3
    active_connection_states: SYN_RECV
  with_items:
    - 111
    - 2049

and have also a look into How to use Ansible module wait_for together with loop?
