Re: [Trisquel-users] Close ports without UFW

[gnuser]

Unfortunately no. I tested the ports condition and there were a couple of  
them opened (22 and a couple of others). Like, OPENED! In the RED! That just  
made me angry ya know, because all my ISP has to do is just have a bot  
waiting ffor any connection to happen and attack those ports.
I have been trying to find a way around it, but I have no resources (having  
another computer running a shared wifi connection, with protection already in  
place would be good, but like I said, no resources).
I really would like to know why ufw (which is less than 1 megabyte) was left  
out. Is it absolutely necessary? maybe not, but it wouldn't hurt. And for me,  
yes its necessary.

However, is it possible to close those ports without ufw? What services are  
running in a Trisquel default installation that leave open ports? If I  
disabled those before I connected to the internet maybe I could have the  
ports closed....
