[Bug 1532386] Re: Protocols besides TCP and UDP are not handled by Gufw.

 

ufw supports gre as of 0.34 and this with tcp should be all that is
required. Note, in reviewing this bug I came across
http://northernmost.org/blog/gre-tunnels-and-ufw/index.html which (in
essence) states that in 3.18 and later kernels you need to load the
nf_conntrack_pptp module for GRE packets to not be marked as INVALID.
You can load this module in the standard way for your distribution or
you can have ufw do it for you by adding it to IPT_MODULES in
/etc/default/ufw.

** Changed in: ufw
       Status: New => Invalid

  I would like to propose an enhancement which opens the firewall tool
  up to protocol 47 (which is what pptp uses).

  For now, I have to shut down the firewall before I can access any VPN.
