Picking a personal firewall app to use on my ONEUp laptop

ONE UP
1

I’ll be using my ONEUP laptop in the same way as my Ubuntu 18” laptop, since this one is so much lighter. I’d like to use a firewall app since I use it at businesses and on planes. Can I please have suggestions for a personnel use? I understand there are Raspberry Pi firewalls on network devices, but I’m not certain if the application can be scaled down to what I need.

Thanks!

Try using Uncomplicated Firewall (UFW) which you can install via additional software or the CLI using the sudo apt install UFW. There is also a GUI version called GFW which is easier to use. Try Googling Uncomplicated Firewall and/or GFW.

Thanks, Jon - yes, that’s what I went ahead and did. Installing and simple configuration made it a winner. :blush:

Agreed it a good FW and simple to use i.e. adding rules etc., for things like KDE Connect which is a great app for communication between devices on the same network.
