The rules that ufw follows are stored in the /etc/ufw directory. $ sudo ufw allow httpĪfter making changes, you should check the status again to see that those changes have been made: $ sudo ufw status

You can check out the /etc/services file to find the connections between port numbers and service names. You can easily allow and deny connections by port number with commands like these: $ sudo ufw allow 80 <= allow http access Otherwise, you will see something like this: $ ufw statusĮRROR: You need to be root to run this scriptĪdding 'verbose' provides a few additional details: $ sudo ufw status verboseĭefault: deny (incoming), allow (outgoing), disabled (routed) Note that even this command requires use of sudo or use of the root account. To check the status of ufw, run a command like the following. It will, however, display the entire set of rules as they would exist if the change were made, so be prepared for more than a few lines of output.

The -dry-run option means that ufw won’t run the command you specify, but will show you the results that you would see if it did. The basic syntax for ufw commands might look like thee below, though this synopsis is not meant to imply that typing only “ufw” will get you further than a quick error telling you that arguments are required. Additional rules that allow the connections that you specifically want to be accept are configured separately. IPT_MODULES='nf_conntrack_ftp nf_nat_ftp nf_conntrack_netbios_ns'Īs you can see, the default policy is to drop input and allow output.
