[Bug 1662412] Re: Problem with VPN
It sounds like the vpn is turning off the firewall and then turning it
back on. Can you do these steps in a terminal:
1. sudo ufw status
2. start the vpn
3. while the vpn is connecting, run sudo ufw status
4. when the vpn is done connecting, run sudo ufw status
You'll have to time this right, but if the VPN is turning off ufw, this
sounds like a bug in gufw not noticing the changes (which wouldn't be
surprising, gufw expects to manage the firewall and the VPN is (perhaps)
running commands out from under gufw.

Title:
Problem with VPN
Status in Gufw:
Invalid
Status in ufw:
Incomplete
Bug description:
My VPN seems to disable the firewall whilst it - the VPN - is
connecting; or at least GUFW shows the firewall as disabled. Moreover,
the firewall comes back on when the VPN is connected. Good! The
problem is as follows.
*GUFW does not show the new - firewall re-enabled - state until GUFW
is restarted (ie. until I've quit the program and restarted it).
Linux Mint 18.1 x64 Cinnamon.
