gufw has three profiles: Home, Office, Public
When using ufw in terminal, which profile is it accessing?
Is there a way to switch among the three; I checked: man ufw and ufw -h, did not see any information.

I have never seen much about profile usage and administration.

Your firewall is just your firewall. It only has one state it can be in at any one time. That is, only one set of rules it runs. I think the concept of profiles in gufw is just a simple way of switching between multiple different presets, so you don't have to change a bunch of ufw rules by hand when you move between, say, wifi in your house and wifi at a coffeeshop.

Thanks @FullScale4Me , @DukeComposed
One set of rules containing allow and deny statements affecting Home, Office, and Public; that sounds reasonable.
Thanks again.
