Just to add to make a correction of details: the particular computer was
fresh-installed 16.04 LTR. Gufw has been working fine in another
computer with an Ubuntu 16.04 LTR upgrade from 15.10. The problem there
is reproducible. Gufw is off when the GUI app is started, but as soon as
I turn on the gufw firewall switch, I confirm in Terminal that ufw
becomes disabled. So superficially gufw is activated on GUI, but
firewall becomes disabled. How ironic!!

Title:
  gufw is not working as firewall

Status in Gufw:
  New

Bug description:
  I'm a previous user of Gufw in 15.10 and like Gufw. After upgrading to
  Ubuntu 16.04 LTS, I installed gufw with python-gi and it was working
  fine, until the recent update of gufw. I've noticed that the new gufw
  lost the previous rules and not listening to the traffic even when I
  connected my local computers (so suggesting that firewall is not
  working). After removal (apt-get remove gufw), ufw can be re-enabled
  which then restores the previous rules. I think this may be a new bug
  introduced in the current gufw. I may need to do additional tests with
  gfw too, but I thought this is worth reporting.
