Is there a Firewall for Ubuntu which doesn't need to be turned on at every reboot like Gufw

Gufw turns itself off at every reboot.
I've entered all the commands in terminals.... sudo systemctl enable ufw
sudo systemctl start ufw and so on.
This is a major security risk.
Why has a firewall been provided which switches itself off?
Is there another firewall which works as would be expected?
Thanks,
Bob

Well, there's one alternative askubuntu.com/a/7783/295286 Never tried it myself, though, so can't recommend.

I believe that withufwyou actually have to usesudo ufw enablefrom the command line to turn it on, andsudo ufw disableto turn it off. Also, you can check the status withsudo ufw statusand you can check with thesystemctl status ufw.service.

You've got something configured wrong. ufw doesn't turn off on any of my systems. Also note: gufw is not the firewall, ufw is. gufw is just the configuration interface.

I believe that with
ufw you actually have to use sudo ufw enable from the command line to turn it on, and sudo ufw disable to turn it off. Also, you can check the status with sudo ufw status and you can check with the systemctl status ufw.service.– Terrance

Normally, there is no need to switch it on. The solution to your questions for ufw can be found here.
More informations you found here. The normal behavior is if it's enabled it keeps enabled after reboot. To try another, maybe this fits your need firewalld.
And it's described in the gufw UI.
