How do I know if gufw's service is running on startup ?

So I did ln -s /etc/runit/sv/gufw /run/runit/service/gufw

How can I know if the command worked ?

Thanks in advance!!!

Uh, the simplest way to know would be trying to ping/connect to a website you've told the firewall to block.

Also, if you typed exactly as it's shown in the message, it's not gonna work, you need to install ufw-runit and run

Code: [Select]
ln -s /etc/runit/sv/ufw /run/runit/service/ufw
(not gufw, just ufw).

Gufw is not a service and doesn't need to run on machine startup.
You only need to open gufw after you log in to your DE if you want to configure ufw (the actual firewall, which is a service with no graphical interface, and that must be run on system startup).

First of all thank you !

secondly does the command  I wrote break or impact anything? (should I do something about it?)
