Description

UFW (Uncomplicated Firewall) is a Linux-based security application designed to simplify the process of configuring and managing a firewall. It is a command-line tool that provides an interface to configure the Linux firewall, allowing users to set up their own customized firewall rules. UFW is built on top of the netfilter framework, which provides the underlying packet filtering capabilities. UFW allows users to easily create and manage rules that control incoming and outgoing traffic on their systems. It provides a set of predefined rules that can easily be edited to fit the user's specific needs. UFW also includes a graphical user interface (GUI) for managing firewall rules, making it easier to configure the firewall. UFW is available for many Linux distributions, including Ubuntu, Debian, and Fedora.
