Title: GUFW update
Post by: Dan on September 04, 2016, 01:04:37 PM

I ran updates yesterday and noticed an update for GUFW was included.

Today, I checked my firewall's status, and it wasn't active.

Now...I'm almost positive that I had turned on my firewall...I can't imagine that I wouldn't have. So, I assume the update to GUFW turned it off?

All of that to say this...if you receive an update for GUFW, check your firewall's status afterwards...and you may want to check it after rebooting too.

Again...this could have been an oversight of mine, but it's better to be safe just in case.

EDITED TO ADD: It was apparently my oversight. I apparently hadn't turned it on. Don't know how that happened!

I just installed updates on one of the USB installs that I made, and the firewall was still active after the update was received...and after rebooting.

Sooooo...I'm left only to assume that I neglected to turn it on beforehand on my computer.  :o :-[

I've edited the OP.

And for the rest of us .....
  If the firewall is to work then it must be turned on. 
Everyone but Dan did that, right ?     Hmmmm, a big silence there.

Thanks for the reminder, Dan.    :)
