Ubuntu Touch comes with a pre-installed firewall

Ubuntu Touch, is the Ubuntu phone operating system. The operating system is already on Bq phones, not to mention the Nexus 4 devices that can "wear it." But did you know that the new operating system comes with a complete firewall by default?

A default firewall is not something you can usually find on mobile operating systems. Surely you can install firewalls on other operating systems, but it's not the same thing.

Some of them Ubuntu users may remember a firewall called UFW, which stands for Uncomplicated Firewall, or in Greek for free “Easy Firewall.”Ubuntu Touch Firewall

As it turns out, UFW is installed by default on the operating system Ubuntu Touch, but must be enabled by the end user.

Of course if you are not experienced , you'd better not mess with the UFW. It is an application aimed at experienced users as the firewall policies will need to be configured. Of course if you want to try it, h it is easy. Connect via ADB and run the following command:

sudo ufw enable

"Ubuntu's default firewall is UFW. Developed to facilitate the configuration of the iptables firewall. UFW is user friendly and provides ways to create a host-based firewall in IPv4 or IPv6. By default, UFW is disabled, ”says the official wiki of the application.

There are too many commands to play, as long as you know what you are doing.

You can read more about Ubuntu 's mobile operating system and its functions from official website of the company.
