I'm trying to get ufw to activate on boot on my Debian 9 server. So for, I've tried



ufw enable


and



systemctl enable ufw


but neither make ufw enabled at boot.



Any suggestions on how to make ufw active, not just enabled, on boot?



Update #1



Tried this too:



root@server:~# systemctl enable --now ufw
Synchronizing state of ufw.service with SysV service script with /lib/systemd/systemd-sysv-install.
Executing: /lib/systemd/systemd-sysv-install enable ufw
root@server:~# ufw enable


After a reboot, the ufw service is not active:



root@server:~# ufw status verbose
Status: inactive


The journalctl -x log says this:



May 18 15:47:58 server systemd[1]: Started Uncomplicated firewall.
-- Subject: Unit ufw.service has finished start-up
-- Defined-By: systemd
-- Support: https://www.debian.org/support
--
-- Unit ufw.service has finished starting up.
--
-- The start-up result is done.


So the service seems to be enabled, but ufw itself is not active.



Any suggestions on how to further debug this issue?

    Enable the systemd service enable --now and then start ufw: ufw enable. If it doesn't come up at boot, read your journal to see why not.
