gufw still not working

**ventrical** · January 6th, 2018

gufw still not working in wayland. (now a critical bug) Is wayland to be void of a firewall or do we just run ufw from terminal.

This is a rhetorical question? Right? Or a bit sarcastically driven...

Huh?

No.. I'm serious... what do we use as a firewall for18.04 with wayland.

Doesn't this work-a-round work?

Code:

xhost +si:localuser:root

You can set firewall rules using iptables. See here.

If you don't use a gui , check ufw status.

Code:

sudo ufw status

Code:

sudo ufw status
[sudo] password for d-book: 
Status: active

Thanks... I also thought the workaround was a security issue also. Problem solved for now.
