well darn! I just read more of the man page and discovered I could just allow all ports by changing a setting in 'etc default/ufw. But when I tried to enable it it responds with an error: problem running ufw-init. so I think it might not be running but when I try restarting it I am told that ufw isn't running so it won't reload it. Does anyone have any experience with this? or else should I just go with iptables? I'm thinking I should just go with iptables but..... I am putty in your hands!
