confused how ufw application works. understand once set "default deny" prevents unauthorized incoming connection mean when author says add exceptions services need? when need that? what's ssh server? googled went tangent on head.
you can use gufw tool to input allowances incoming connections, such samba shares or remote desktop. gufw simple graphical interface ufw.
gufw can installed via ubuntu software center, synaptic package manager or running sudo apt-get install gufw in terminal.
ssh stands secure shell, commonly used encrypted means log other systems administration purposes, though use vpn tunnel while on public networks make life hard eaves droppers.
