vastkahunaI am fairly new to Linux and was wondering does Ubuntu have a firewall built in or do I need to install one myself?00:48
holstein!firewall | vastkahuna00:48
ubot93vastkahuna: Ubuntu, like any other Linux distribution, has firewall capabilities built-in. The firewall is managed using the 'ufw' command - see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UFW | An alternative to ufw is the 'iptables' command - See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo | GUI frontends such as Gufw also exist.00:48
vastkahunaOK so is it automatically turned on or do I need to do it myself?00:49
holsteinvastkahuna: i suggest reading the info, and determining for yourself if your current sitution is setup as you want00:51
holsteini usually run "sudo ufw enable" if i want it on00:51
vastkahunaOK thanks00:51
holsteinsudo ufw status should tell you the state00:51
vastkahunaThanks a lot00:52

ubot93lubuntu is Ubuntu with LXDE instead of !GNOME as desktop environment, which makes it extremely lightweight. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Lubuntu - /join #lubuntu for lubuntu support.23:04
