At least on my computer the firewall was off, so let’s check it and activate it for you. The firewall is managed by UFW (Unconplicated Firewall), you can configure terminal. In this we write: [/i][/color]
[size=medium]# ufw status [/size]
[color=#000080]It is quite possible, that like me, you say that you are disabled and to activate just run the following command as root: [/color]
[size=medium][b]# su (key)
ufw enable [/b][/size]
[color=#000080]To deactivate[/color]
[size=medium]# ufw disable [/size]
[color=#000080]And we can help mediate talks[/color]
[size=medium]# man ufw [/size]
[color=#000080]Although we can configure the firewall graphical installing a package: [/color]
[size=medium]# sudo apt-get install gufw [/size]
[color=#000080]The application will find it in System> Firewall configuration. It is very easy to use.[/color]
I’m just wondering why the suggested use of gufu, a GTK+ based front end to UFW instead of something more like the native and integrated, KDE UFW control module (kcm-ufw)?
I’m sorry, kcm-ufw is the official package name for most distributions, but in Ubuntu’s repositories it is named ufw-kde. I just don’t understand why Ubuntu names some things differently from everyone else, oh well.
