| When I add ufw to rc-update. It slows down my pc like hell. Booting takes thrice the time, X as well and ufw isn't active even after that "BOOT" . When I try putting it in .xinitrc as "sudo ufw enable &". It freezes the whole interface. And, that's not due to 'sudo' as I've configured visudo, so it doesn't ask for password when using ufw. |

gaurav712,
After trying UFW on-and-off for years, I finally gave up and took the plunge to learn more about Shorewall. It's well-documented with an active community. Lot's of Gentooers seem to use it, and it's been working just fine for me for about six months now.

You're doing something wrong. You only need to "ufw enable" once - it's a command line tool to switch the firewall on or off. As long as you have ufw in your default run-level, that's it.
I don't understand the performance hit. UFW just loads some (I presume, I use UFW to avoid having to understand that stuff) simple IPTables. Have you other firwall stuff that might be fighting it? or complex rules? My setup had just the defaults plus a few ports (rsync, NFS and the like) open to 192.168.0.0/24, and I notice no performance hit.

Similar to me. No problems with UFW. I just needed to configure UFW for Samba and for KDE Connect:
| Code: | $ sudo ufw status verbose
Password:
Status: active
Logging: on (low)
Default: deny (incoming), allow (outgoing), disabled (routed)
New profiles: skip
To Action From
-- ------ ----
137,138/udp ALLOW IN 192.168.1.0/24
139,445/tcp ALLOW IN 192.168.1.0/24
1714:1764/udp ALLOW IN Anywhere
1714:1764/tcp ALLOW IN Anywhere
$ sudo tail -n 12 /etc/ufw/before.rules
# don't delete the 'COMMIT' line or these rules won't be processed
COMMIT
# Need the following to enable Samba commands to work properly
# in a network using broadcast NetBIOS name resolution.
#
# raw table rules
*raw
:OUTPUT ACCEPT [0:0]
-F OUTPUT
-A OUTPUT -p udp -m udp --dport 137 -j CT --helper netbios-ns
