When I launch Gufw it's off. I'm not starting it via console but with the
GUI. This is a vanilla Debian install, and ufw/Gufw from the Debian repos.
It should just work. I have no idea whats going on under the hood, I'm a
simple user of the product.

It works fine when its turned on manually, past experience using it on
Debian this would never happen. Once installed and started it should keep on
running across cold reboots and/or suspend.

It's called ufw not ifw. I have it set on the default settings which stops
inbound but allows outbound. I need input from someone using this tool. It's
available in the repos for those that don't want to screw around with
scripts etc.
