Firewall dsabled

Hi and welcome to board! :D
Could you search the Terminal application and run this commands?
sudo ufw status
sudo ufw enable
sudo ufw status
Please, put here the exit command.

Hi Costales,
I've already tried your advice after checking the Mint forum.
Still it turns off after I close the window.

But could you paste here the exit commands? :) Thanks

andrew@linuxmint ~ $ sudo ufw status
[sudo] password for andrew:
Status: active
andrew@linuxmint ~ $ sudo ufw enable
Firewall is active and enabled on system startup
andrew@linuxmint ~ $ sudo ufw status
Status: active
andrew@linuxmint ~ $

Uhm...
I think all it's working right. Could your answer me, please?
You open the firewall, the shield is in a grey color? Then if you click on the lock icon, you enter the password and the shield changes (to red/green/blue color?)?

Hi Costales,
Yes.
I then close the window.But if I open it to check again it has gone back to grey.
According to your answer in Question #98643 this may be normal.

@Sage5: Yes, it's normal ;) It's a security feature, only an admin user can run Gufw and 'see' the rules ;)
Until you enter the password, you can't see any rule or the state of firewall ;)
Best regards!
