Hey there folks,
I’m trying to figure out how to configure my UFW, and I’m just not sure where to start. What can I do to see the intetnet traffic from individual apps so I can know what I might want to block? This is just my personal computer and I’m a total newbie to configuring firewalls so I’m just not sure how to go about it. Most online guides seem to assume one already knows what they want to block but I don’t even know how/where to monitor local traffic to figure out what I can/should consider blocking.
Its good practice to have a firewall local as well. However, you are right it about it not being to critical
It’s extra management without benefits.
But it also doesn’t matter if you never open any ports.
Since 99.99% of users only consume content with a browser, then a firewall that blocks all incoming connections won’t impact them negatively.
