Sorry to bring up a 4 month old topic, but I wouldn't want to see ufw enabled by default without a proper discussion.
I've previously managed servers (both real and virtual) remotely and if installing ufw meant that the firewall suddenly went up, I might lose my remote connection to the servers. For me, that would be a disaster... And, I'm not sure if separating ufw into a desktop version and a server version is worthwhile. Comment #3 from 2010 about having it enabled by default may be one OS' way of taking the marketshare. I'm not convinced it's done for the user's sake. On a Windows machine, I purchased another program to manage my firewall, but I still get reminders about not having the Microsoft firewall brought up. If it was for my protection, then the existence of a firewall by another vendor should remove the Microsoft firewall (and its reminders) completely... -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/382938 Title: ufw should be enabled by default To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ufw/+bug/382938/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
