Hi,

UFW work fine and it's very simple to use.

Subject: Migrating to Debian - which firewall ?

 

Hi,

I'm a long-time Linux user (two and a half decades since Slackware 7.1).
I've been using RHEL clones mainly for the last ten years or so, on
desktops as well as servers (local and Internet-facing). For firewalling
I simply chose the default Firewalld.

I understand under Debian there are different possibilities to handle
firewalls. As far as I understand, ufw (Uncomplicated firewall) seems to
be the default, though Firewalld seems to be an option.

Any recommendations ?

Niki
