How to show the current configuration of iptables with ufw?

Question

This is what I get when I try to see the current iptables configuration:

nes@sw-eng:~$ sudo ufw show
ERROR: Unsupported action 'show'

So, what else is there?

Ufw doesn't have a show command try

ufw status

or

ufw status numbered

Have a look at the ufw man page.

That isn't very revealing when the firewall is still off.

nes@sw-eng:~$ sudo ufw status
Status: inactive

This is related to your question how ? – Iain♦ Nov 22 '11 at 23:15

@NikoSchwarz Sure it is, it's telling you exactly what the firewall is doing; that's what you asked it. – Chris S♦ Nov 23 '11 at 0:38

I'd like to see the rules that would be active if I switched the firewall on. – Niko Schwarz Nov 23 '11 at 10:43

That really is a different question to the one you asked, ufw show raw may be what you want then. – Iain♦ Nov 23 '11 at 11:01
