Voytrekk@lemmy.worldtoLinux@lemmy.ml•could you explain the difference between using these 2 commands to open a port? iptables and ufw

4 months agoBoth are fine. Ufw has a set of applications that are defined in terms of what ports they need for convenience. You wouldn’t have to know that 3389 is for RDP, you could just allow RDP. Ufw ultimately modifies the iptables, it is just another interface for interacting with it.
Go ahead and report it to the Mint team. Even if it is an issue upstream, they will verify the issue and then report it as well. Never hesitate to report a bug you find, especially if it’s a security or privacy issue.
Even if the bug is a duplicate, it helps to know other people are having the same issue. At worst they will mark your report as a duplicate, which will let you know they are aware of the issue.
