+Ufw (Uncomplicated Firewall) is program for managing a netfilter firewall.
+It provides a command line interface and aims to be uncomplicated and easy
+to use. It is not intended to provide a complete firewall functionality via
+its command interface, but provides an easy way to add or remove simple rules.
+
+To run ufw at boot you can add the following code to rc.local file:
+
+if [ -x /etc/init.d/ufw ]; then
+/etc/init.d/ufw start
+fi
+
+Rules can be added with ports, services or application names. To specify an
+application you need a profile stored under /etc/ufw/applications.d directory.
+
+To add a profile create a app_name.INI file as the following:
+
+[Samba]
+title=File/printer server for Unix
+description=Samba is a collection of programs that implements the SMB/CIFS protocol for unix systems.
+ports=137,138/udp|139,445/tcp
+
+Then, for example you can run:
+ufw allow from xx.xx.xx.xx app samba
