18. UFW
• ufw is not intended to provide complete firewall functionality via its
command interface, but instead provides an easy way to add or
remove simple rules. It is currently mainly used for host-based
firewalls.
• Administrators can customize before.rules and after.rules as
desired using the standard iptables-restore syntax. Rules are
evaluated as follows: before.rules first, user.rules next, and
after.rules last.
• Please note that ufw status only shows rules added with ufw and
not the rules found in the /etc/ufw rules files.
19. UFW
• ufw is a front-end for iptables-restore, with its
rules saved in /etc/ufw/before.rules, /etc/ufw/
after.rules and /var/lib/ufw/user.rules.
• ufw will read in /etc/ufw/sysctl.conf on boot
when enabled. To change this behavior,
modify /etc/default/ufw.
