Indra Ginanjar posted a new comment:
Panagiotis Ligopsychakis you take it upside down. The correct one is:

Deny   : the system simply just ignores all incoming packets
Reject : the system ignores all incoming packets but informs the sender that it has been rejected.

https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Gufw#Enabling is correct

But since you also have made some correction to the link above, so i guess we already have same 
understanding about this.

Since i found this page while searching the answer, i think this should be re-emphasised to prevent 
some like me before become misleaded.


"Sometimes it is desirable to let the sender know when traffic is  being
denied,  rather  than  simply  ignoring  it. In these cases, use reject
instead of deny" -- man ufw
