Dear Ubuntu Experts, I am switching from an Oracle Linux server to Ubuntu 22.04 server which provide more packages for desktop development and hardware development. Under Oracle Linux, I have the Gnome firewalld GUI which is every good and easy to use. However, Ubuntu 22.04 Gnome, I only have a simple UFW UI. Now, I am facing a problem. I do not know yet what is the difference between these commands: sudo ufw [option] sudo systemctl [option] ufw.service For instance, when I ran: sudo ufw disable ufw still started after a reboot. So it there a simple guide to use them?
I use systemctl. If it controls the service it should be used, and not directly the service commands.
sudo ufw [option]: sudo ufw enable: This command enables the UFW (Uncomplicated Firewall) and starts it. sudo ufw disable: This command disables the UFW and stops it. sudo ufw status: This command shows the current status and rules of the firewall. Note: Disabling UFW with sudo ufw disable should persist across reboots. If you are still facing issues after a reboot, there might be another factor causing it. sudo systemctl [option] ufw.service: sudo systemctl start ufw.service: This starts the UFW service. sudo systemctl stop ufw.service: This stops the UFW service. sudo systemctl enable ufw.service: This enables the UFW service to start on boot. sudo systemctl disable ufw.service: This disables the UFW service from starting on boot. Note: The systemctl commands are related to managing systemd services, and in this case, the UFW service. Now, if you're facing issues with the firewall not staying disabled after a reboot, you might want to check other services or configurations that could be interacting with the firewall.
