[SOLVED] UFW doesn't work - antiX-19
by walker from LinuxQuestions.org on (#4TD63)
To say the plain truth it's not an antiX nor UFW related problem as I discovered.
UFW is wrritten around iptables, libip4tc0, libip6tc0, libiptc0, libxtables12 version 1.6.
Following no longer tested Debian fake stable Buster, antiX uses version 1.8 of aforementioned libraries which have broken retrocompatibility with their 1.6 version.
To have ufw working also on antiX-19 despite the installed kernel using a 17,4,1 live and grab
$ apt-get download iptables
and in the same way the other aforementioned needed libraries and save them on your antiX-19 installation.
Start antiX-19 and install downgrading from the installed 1.8 using dpkg -i the previous downloaded packages and set them to hold
# apt-mark hold iptables libip4tc0 aso
install or reinstall UFW and you are done.
Debian seems no longer well done and well tested as in the past better always check and don't trust too much in them. IMHO
