Hi all,

 

I got my hotspot working via armbian-config but I can't seem to edit the rules using ufw. Trying to block port xyz, any ideas how?

Welcome to help implementing this feature to armbian-config.

Hi Igor,

 

Tried this, doesn't work. All traffic seems to go in and out from the device connected to the AP

This is just a how-to use ufw and works if properly configured. Check manual, example and try again.

Hi Igor,

I found the issue, the reason why UFW and the armbian-config AP doesn't work well when rules are added is because to allow forwarding the DEFAULT_FORWARD_POLICY must be set to ACCEPT in /etc/ufw/sysctl.conf which allows ALL traffic to pass through without being affected by the firewall.

 

I think for the armbian-config AP mode to work with UFW, bridging might be needed.

 

Thanks,

Maheen
