How to configure UFW rules for podman

Note: I am using VPS for services, since I do not want to expose my home network to internet. I am using podman, . But firewall (using UFW frontend) seems to block all the routing and inter-container traffic, so I want to Currently I have UFW rules set as blanket open for all podman networks, like this:

 
    
Status: active

To                         Action      From

This neither seems secure, nor extensible when I add another network. Is there some 'best practices' for firewall setup with podman networks? How do you gurus set up your firewall for containers? Thanks in advance!

EDIT: Sorry for missing an important detail, I am running rootful podman with (userns=auto).
