ufw not starting on boot
I am running Ubuntu Server 18.04
When I do:
sudo ufw enable
the output is:
Firewall is active and enabled on system startup
but when I do a reboot and run:
sudo ufw status verbose
the output is:
Status: inactive
I have checked /etc/ufw/ufw.conf:
ENABLED=yes
I have tried:
uninstalling and reinstalling ufw:
sudo ufw logging off
update-rc.d ufw defaults
sudo systemctl enable ufw
I have gone as far as I can go. Any help would be appreciated.
Edit: Hi steeldriver, thank you for your reply. Output is
systemctl status ufw.service

I found the culprit. It was iredmail. There was a script in /etc/init.d/iptables that loaded iptables. This was conflicting with ufw preventing ufw from being enabled on boot. Once I stopped this script from running on boot my problem was solved. ufw is enabled on boot now.
