Bug Description
ufw fails when interface name does not end with digit, so interfaces like "lo" or any custom names (like "vpn") are not supported.
For example, the vpn software "tinc" (on linux) creates tunnel interfaces with same names as configured tinc network names, which usually does not contain any digits.
# ufw --version
ufw 0.29.3-1
# ufw allow in on vpn to any port http proto tcp
ERROR: Bad interface name
# cat /etc/debian_version
6.0.2
This is Debian, version 6.0.2.
