Set status of ufw firewall to 'active' by default #874

Open jroyvde opened 4 years ago

jroyvde commented 4 years ago

Issue/Bug Description: Pop!_OS comes with the ufw firewall installed, but inactive. There is no GUI application to manage the firewall, nor any indication to the user that there is a firewall installed or that it is disabled. I would like to suggest that, similar to other distributions like Fedora, that Pop!_OS have the firewall set to 'active' rather than 'inactive' by default.

Expected behavior: The ufw firewall should ideally be activated by default in a new installation, rather than needing to be activated manually in the terminal.

Wow, just found this out.. A modern consumer focused operating system based on Linux that does not enable the firewall by default, that is pretty bad..

Actually... I prefer to set all my firewall rules rather than have things blocked.
