Hey there folks,

I’m trying to figure out how to configure my UFW, and I’m just not sure where to start. What can I do to see the intetnet traffic from individual apps so I can know what I might want to block? This is just my personal computer and I’m a total newbie to configuring firewalls so I’m just not sure how to go about it. Most online guides seem to assume one already knows what they want to block but I don’t even know how/where to monitor local traffic to figure out what I can/should consider blocking.

    Eh, I get what you mean but I disagree.

    That is sort of saying that if someone want to learn Swedish, but since they don’t know any Swedish, it is better to start them on Norweigan first.

    If UFW had used a similar syntax to that of iptables, then it would be a decent way of doing it, but in this example I disagree with you

      nobody wants to learn Swedish here. they want to be understood in a community that knows both Swedish and Norwegian, and if Norwegian is easier, they can learn just that

      then it wouldn’t be Uncomplicated anymore
