Display gufw profiles in ufw

#1 Post by MX_GRD »

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.

Best documentation on GUFW https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Gufw

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.
