[Bug 1377651] Re: ufw breaks sendto, even when disabled

 

This isn't a bug in ufw, but rather something that needs to be tuned for your system. You might be interested in reading:
http://security.stackexchange.com/questions/43205/nf-conntrack-table-full-dropping-packet

It could be argued that ufw should have cleared the table when disabled,
but this would likely result in more problems for people who disable ufw
and not seeing this problem.

** Changed in: ufw (Ubuntu)
       Status: New => Invalid

  I enabled ufw to try it out, with the default settings. I disabled it,
