As default, Raspbian loads firewalld.service on boot.

I wish to define firewall's inbound and outbound ports in order to allow services such as pigpiod, VNC, SSH and so , to be able to control each other.

When using Ubuntu Mate- it is easy to download from Software center, a firewall software to control its firewall.

While using Raspbian - I don't find a porper way to do it. Googling around led to install ufw which is very minimal in capabilities and tiresome to work that way. Plus- systemctl enable ufw did not load it after boot.

I would love to get some help with this,

Guy

  • What is the name of the package you installed on Ubuntu Mate?

    Firewall is built into the kernel and interfaced with iptables, ufw is "uncomplicated firewall" and is a wrapper for iptables. Anything you can do with any firewall config tool you can do through iptables, but the syntax/usage is very archaic. What about ufw is insufficient for your purposes? there are graphical wrappers for UFW like gufw

  • @crasic - thanks for you answer. firstly - archaic is mostly what bothers me ( since it all typ2ing, and don't have the flexabililty to define "home" ,"public" and so ).

  • @MarkStosberg - something more like "firewall-config" which can be downloaded via Ubuntu's software center
