wont stay on

[ikreate]

im using Manjaro which is arch based. UFW wont stay on across reboots. in contrast to other distros, i do not need to unlock it, it has never asked for that. true to its simplicity i just have to toggle status to enable/disable it. i am not sure if this is a natural behavior and its just supposed to be that way, but at the same time it doesnt seem very practical to have to turn it on manually every time i reboot. btw great little app, thanks for your work

The rules persists. Check running Gufw from the Shell with:
$ gufw
Best regards.

I'm sorry, but this has not been my experience. I can turn it on but once I reboot, it reverts to off and thus it must be turn on again. Perhaps there's a log in can attach?

Did you enable the systemd ufw service as explained on the Arch wiki[0] so that it is available on boot? It seems that it is not enabled by default on the Arch package. Doing the following once on a terminal should suffice:

systemctl enable ufw

thanks for the prompt reply guys. it was as Emilio said. the service was not set to auto start or be enabled by default for arch. following Emilio's advice, along with the wiki gave me a better understanding.

  systemctl status ufw
● ufw.service - CLI Netfilter Manager
   Loaded: loaded (/usr/lib/systemd/system/ufw.service; enabled; vendor preset: disabled

as you can see it now auto starts =).. sorry for the troubles and thanks a bunch for all your help
