Do you need a Firewall on Linux?

What is Linux firewall? Do you need? How to set up and configure it. Everything in this video.

In addition, you will learn how to setup and configure the Uncomplicated Firewall (ufw) both graphically and through the terminal. And how to configure a simple stateful firewall through iptables for more advanced users.

You can also read a text version of this video

They are building a tower block the bottom of the tower block is loosely locked it only needs to look after two things. All the other floors have balcony doors that have many things in them like a desktop GUI. Some of the GUI can be seen and contacted by the outside. Linux the kernel the firewall only knows what it should keep out it is a one-way firewall. GUI without a firewall can be logged onto the GUI can be seen and brute force can be used for password guessing. The longer you can be seen the longer they have a chance of eventually cracking this password. A firewall hides your desktop GUI from the outside world. It protects your desktop from other desktops.

Sometimes in an office environment you can see somebody else's computer try it just select network and you may see a computer name. It is probably the same name as the user: fred-HP-Z840-workstation.
So you have the name which is fred you now only need the password most passwords are simple easy to remember and easy to brute force. If Fred had the firewall switched on I would not be able to log onto his computer.

Thank you very much for this video about firewalls. Enabling firewall makes me feel safe. 🙂

does it make sense if I have guwf installed on parrot os?

I activate a firewall through my vpn service. Is that the same as use a Linux firewall?? Can and if so, should I run both a Linux firewall and my VPN’s firewall??

Just a note. UFW is installed and enabled by default in Ubuntu 16.04 and later, but gufw shows the service as disabled. Enabling it with gufw doesn't seem to affect it, but does allow you to then actually use the GUI.

I use windows firewall. Is better than iptables

I need iptables because I use a script to control my packet filtering settings.

I'm running Ubuntu 18.04 LTS with cinnamon on 3 machines all connected to my home wifi network. However I can't see or connect the machines on the network. I haven't enabled a firewall. When I was running 16.04 without cinnamon, I was able to connect my machines and transfer files over the network. Any ideas?

Three steps to improve your security:

1. Run Linux
2. Activate GUFW
3. Run your browser in Firejail

i found the firewall got in the way when sharing files, so i disabled it back in 2012 never had a problem

Mr Sammotube

Thanks for this – it is amazingly reassuring to just switch on the firewall with gufw!

To have gufw or ufw always enabled at startup you need : #sudo su #systemctl enable ufw.service

Hello ALU,
Recommending the Arch script is a bad idea. If you don't understand what iptables does don't use it!
By the way iptables is deprecated and will be replaced by nftables.
There are Linux distributions which have a detailed iptables enabled OOTB like Fedora and Linux Lite for instance.
You need a deep understanding of networking to be able to use iptables correctly. So in doubt be cautious!!!
Cheers
