The default firewall configuration tool for Ubuntu is ufw (Uncomplicated Firewall). Developed to easeiptables firewall configuration,ufw provides a user friendly way to create an IPv4 or IPv6 host-based firewall. By default UFW is disabled.

# sudo ufw status verbose

       Logging: on (low)
       Default: deny (incoming), allow (outgoing)
       New profiles: skip
