Hi,
I just recently transferred from firestarter to ufw. I was wondering if I took the right steps...
1. I first purged firestarter
sudo apt-get purge firestarter
2. I reset the rules
sudo iptables -F
sudo iptables -X
3. I set ufw's default to deny
sudo ufw default deny
4. I enables ufw
sudo ufw enable
5. I also enables logging
sudo ufw logging on
6. I check the status of ufw
sudo ufw status
It said firewall loaded
Is this all I need to do to ensure a safe firewall for both my wired ethernet and wireless? Also, where are the logs located? I'm kind of not sure because I looked at the iptables rules and there were a lot of allow's and deny's...
EDIT: I just tried GRC's Shields Up and apparently I failed because I replied back to a ping request...I'm assuming I should fix this...Anyone know how?
EDIT 2: I just learned you can look for the ufw logs in the syslog:
grep UFW /var/log/syslog
