I use Ubuntu 20.04 and firewall won’t work on my device.
I get this message when trying to start firewall with systemctl start firewall
:
root@agent:/usr/bin# systemctl start firewall
Job for firewall.service failed because the control process exited with error code.
See "systemctl status firewall.service" and "journalctl -xe" for details.
root@agent:/usr/bin# systemctl status firewall
● firewall.service - apply firewall rules at startup

firewall
is not the service name to handle for the 'firewall' - we also don't use firewalld
by default in 20.04 either.
The default firewall service in Ubuntu 20.04 is ufw
- Uncomplicated Firewall.
You control ufw
by commands on the command line.
To enable ufw
just run sudo ufw enable
and it should default to a permit-outbound deny-unrelated-inbound type policy.
To configure ufw
please read the manpage of ufw
- man ufw
- for details on the commands, etc. to manipulate the firewall rules.
