When I launch Gufw it's off. I'm not starting it via console but with the GUI. This is a vanilla Debian install, and ufw/Gufw from the Debian repos. It should just work. I have no idea whats going on under the hood, I'm a simple user of the product. > ufw is a tool for setting up and managing a firewall. It is not the > firewall itself.

As I don't It's called ufw not ifw. I have it set on the default settings which stops inbound but allows outbound. I need input from someone using this tool. It's available in the repos for those that don't want to screw around with scripts etc.
