GUFW 9.10.2 missing the "DENY button for outgoing traffic"

Asked by Daniel Orum

Hi.

I wanted to follow the instructions here:
https://airvpn.org/topic/5586-prevent-leaks-with-linux-firestarter-also-stop-traffic-when-vpn-drops/#entry5642

But my version of GUFW (9.10.2) is missing a button for "Denying all outgoing traffic". Here is a screenshot:

 Is there another way, i can work around this missing feature, because i am running OMV (squeeze) and there isnt any newer version for my system.

Thanks for your time.

Hi :)
Your Gufw version is really older (and deprecated).
What is OMV? :) Which is your distro and version?
Best regards!

Wow, quick response.

OMV is Openmediavault. It is a Debian based NAS operating system running squeeze: http://openmediavault.org

 But i dont know how to check the version number. I really want to be able to use GUFW because it's so simple and i can unserstand it. What are my options here? :)

Could you run this command in the Terminal?
sudo ufw version
And paste here the exit.
Thanks in advance!

And... How did you install Gufw? :O From the Openmediavault repositories? :)

Forgive me, for not being specific enough:

I installed ufw by:

sudo apt-get install ufw

and gufw:

sudo apt-get install gufw

"sudo ufw version" gives me:

ufw 0.29.3-1

Uhm...
ufw 0.29.3 is deprecated. Your Gufw version is deprecated too.

Do you have the last release of Openmediavault? If the answer is yes, could you try enabling the Openmediavault backports repositories? Maybe you could upgrade to a newer ufw & Gufw version.

If you can't upgrade to a newer version, maybe you could install from the newer Ubuntu repositories, but I can't tell you if this will work:
http://packages.ubuntu.com/precise/ufw
http://packages.ubuntu.com/precise/gufw
Click in "Architecture All" and download the .deb file. Install from the Terminal with:
sudo dpkg -i your_file.deb

Good luck!

Don't worry, it was a pleasure.
I'm so sorry.

In other way, I think your distro is an older version:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/openmediavault/files/
The last is from this year. I recommend you to have not a deprecated system :O

Best regards!
