https://answers.launchpad.net/gui-ufw/+question/98742

Marcos proposed the following answer:
Windows, MacOx, GNU/Linux... are the ports open by defect.
Normally, the router has a firewall and all ports closed (with the problems for p2p), this is enough sucure for a normal desktop user.

Gufw give you secure from output attacks, if you establish a connection
to other computer, is because you want it ;) But in the next version (in
ubuntu 10.04), you will can block output traffic too.

If you like change the IP ping, you can, but you must edit a file ;)
