Question #98742 on Gufw changed: https://answers.edge.launchpad.net/gui-ufw/+question/98742
leoquant proposed the following answer: Many adsl modems do have a router (hardware firewall) build within. I have such a modem/router, i do not pass the shieldsup test===> ping enabled. but i have blocked ping in gufw. gufw is your second layer of protection behind your "router". Remember ubuntu comes with a zero open port policy, as marcos said, you are perfectly safe behind gufw. The confusing comes from shields-up! Are all ports closed on shieldsup? It stresses your hardware firewall, not gufw! Please do run a nmap or zenmap, and there are prob. ports open.(tcp?) -- You received this question notification because you are a member of Gufw Developers, which is an answer contact for Gufw. _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~gufw-developers Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~gufw-developers More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
