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.

    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.
