Okay, that seems to work. Thank you! Strange that the ufw install routine didn't do that automatically. And yes, I do read the wiki articles, whenever I have the time, patience and intelligence to do so. Which isn't easy after a very long, difficult day of learning to install and set up Arch. But I did want to get a firewall up and running, quicky. There are lots of bad guys out there these days. Thanks again. On Wed, Apr 15, 2015 at 10:49 PM, Sebastian M. <vevais@gmail.com> wrote:
It does the same. Please read the wiki.

Okay, so do I do
1) sudo systemctl enable ufw
or,
2) sudo systemctl enable ufw.service
or, both?

Hello Francis,
Just simply run the following command as root or with sudo:
systemctl enable ufw.service

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.
