I've found it easier to use than a GUI interface for a while now, it is as simple as : sudo ufw allow 8080 or sudo ufw deny 80/tcp or sudo ufw allow ssh sudo ufw status Shows existing rules Its often quicker than doing the same thing in a GUI has been my experience.Been meaning to look at command line firewalls for a while now. Thanks for the tip: it seems a lot easier than the gui
