UFW

UFW stands for 'Uncomplicated Firewall' and is the default firewall on most Linux systems.

### Check the status of ufw
sudo ufw status

Remember that you have to restart ufw before any changes take effect.

### Turn on the ufw firewall or reload it
sudo ufw enable
### Reset the ufw firewall to default configuration
sudo ufw reset

Many times administrators will start by denying ALL traffic to a host, and then only allowing the traffic that it needs.

### Deny all traffic
sudo ufw default deny incoming
sudo ufw default deny outgoing

You can also deny or allow traffic to specific ports.

### Allow traffic to port 80
sudo ufw allow 80

You may have to delete a rule from time to time

### Delete a ufw firewall rule
sudo ufw delete deny 80
