Firewall (?) problems using Mozilla VPN

Hello.
I've downloaded and installed Mozilla VPN and currently using on 30 day trial.

I'm running Ubuntu 20.04.2 LTS.

The VPN works fine on my Android Tab & phone. And of course on my Ubuntu PC.

Unfortunately I can't connect via ssh (on a high number port, not default port) from my Android boxes to my Ubuntu PC if the Mozilla VPN is running on the PC AND my firewall is ON.

My firewall is Gufw v. 20.04.1.

My firewall works fine when the VPN is OFF - I can connect via ssh to the Ubuntu PC.

And I can connect via ssh to the Ubuntu PC when the VPN is ON but the firewall is OFF!

I should add that Wireguard is installed though not active afaik, could this be an issue?

I'd be very grateful for advice - maybe suggestions as to which log files I should look at.

Or suggestions for change(s) in firewall settings needed to make firewall play nicely with Mozilla VPN.

Many thanks.

Output from sudo ufw status (xxxx is my high number port for ssh):
