本文探讨了iptables与UFW的关系，阐述了两者作为Linux防火墙的不同角色。iptables是核心防火墙规则数据库，而UFW作为iptables的前端简化了配置过程。文中详细解释了它们如何过滤网络流量并保护系统安全。

我突然发现，自己平常使用的 iptables 和 ufw 到底是啥关系？平常其实iptables和ufw在配置防火墙，开启端口是，还是偶尔会使用到的。

没去思考过这两者是啥关系，哎。。。，这就不够好了！！学习，不就是应当举一反三吗？自己还有加油啊！主动性不够！

百度一下，发现别人也和我一样，有提出过这样的问题？所以，有时候，能提出问题，就已经是相当的了不起了！！

知之者不如乐知者，乐知者不如好知者！此话是相当的有道理啊！

下面是被人的提问，以及一些人的回答

还给出了ubuntu 官网的介绍：https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UFW#UFW_-_Uncomplicated_Firewall

下面是ubuntu 官网的介绍文档：

Firewall

Introduction

Traffic into or out of a computer is filtered through "ports," which are relatively arbitrary designations appended to traffic packets destined for use by a particular application.

By convention, some ports are routinely used for particular types of applications. For example, port 80 is generally used for insecure web browsing and port 443 is used for secure web browsing.

Traffic to particular applications can be allowed or blocked by "opening" or "closing" (i.e. filtering) the ports designated for a particular type of traffic. If port 80 is "closed," for example, no (insecure) web browsing will be possible. The AntiVirus page might also be of interest.

The Linux kernel includes the netfilter subsystem, which is used to manipulate or decide the fate of network traffic headed into or through your computer. All modern Linux firewall solutions use this system for packet filtering.

The kernel's packet filtering system would be of little use to users or administrators without a user interface with which to manage it. This is the purpose of iptables. When a packet reaches your computer, it is handed off to the netfilter subsystem for acceptance, manipulation, or rejection based on the rules supplied to it via iptables. Thus, iptables is all you need to manage your firewall (if you're familiar with it). Many front-ends are available to simplify the task, however.

Users can therefore configure the firewall to allow certain types of network traffic to pass into and out of a system (for instance SSH or web server traffic). This is done by opening and closing TCP and UDP "ports" in the firewall. Additionally, firewalls can be configured to allow or restrict access to specific IP addresses (or IP address ranges).

Managing the Firewall

iptables

Iptables is the database of firewall rules and is the actual firewall used in Linux systems. The traditional interface for configuring iptables in Linux systems is the command-line interface terminal. The other utilities in this section simplify the manipulation of the iptables database.

UFW

UFW (Uncomplicated Firewall) is a front-end for iptables and is particularly well-suited for host-based firewalls. UFW was developed specifically for Ubuntu (but is available in other distributions), and is also configured from the terminal.

Gufw is a graphical front-end to UFW, and is recommended for beginners.

UFW was introduced in Ubuntu 8.04 LTS (Hardy Heron), and is available by default in all Ubuntu installations after 8.04 LTS.

Guarddog

Guarddog is a front-end for iptables that functions in KDE-based desktops, such as Kubuntu. It has a greater deal of complexity (and flexibility, perhaps).
