ufw-disable

Disable Uncomplicated Firewall and unload rules

TLDR

Unload and disable ufw
$ sudo ufw disable
Simulate disabling without making changes
$ sudo ufw --dry-run disable

SYNOPSIS

ufw [--dry-run] disable

DESCRIPTION

ufw disable turns off Uncomplicated Firewall: active netfilter rules are unloaded and the firewall will not be enabled automatically at boot until re-enabled with `ufw enable`.This is the counterpart to `ufw enable`. Use dry-run first if you want to preview the operation. Disabling removes host packet filtering enforced by ufw until you enable it again.

PARAMETERS

disable

Disable the firewall, unload rules, and prevent loading them on boot
--dry-run
Show what would change without applying it

INSTALL

sudo dnf install ufw
sudo pacman -S ufw
sudo apk add ufw
sudo zypper install ufw

CAVEATS

Disabling the firewall leaves the host unprotected by ufw rules. Other firewall tools (firewalld, nftables managed outside ufw) may still apply. Requires root or sudo.

HISTORY

Part of ufw (Uncomplicated Firewall), the Ubuntu-originated frontend for iptables/nftables.
