You can enable services (and thus autostart them at boot) withthis command: # systemctl enable service This means, you will need to type: # systemctl enable ufw Also, I recommend reading the wiki. https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Systemd Best regards, Sebastian M.

Hello!
How do I get ufw to start automatically upon Arch system startup?
The Arch wiki Uncomplicated Firewall pages says: "Start ufw as systemd service to have it running and enable it to make it available after boot. "
How do I do that?
Then it shows an example configuration (can't I just keep the default: deny all incoming, allow all outgoing)?
Then it says: "The next line is only needed *once* the first time you install the package:
# ufw enable"
That does not seem to be true - I have to do "sudo ufw enable" every time I restart the system.
Then, it says: "Then enable the ufw service with systemctl." How? Bottom line: ufw works okay, I just want it to start automatically when the system starts up.
