No, it just give me the option to turn on, but when I close it, it turns back off. It also blocks everything so I can’t use the browser/updates at all.

You are right, problem is the 4.9.146-antix.1-kernel.There’s already a newer one available.
Could you open controlcenter -> system -> packageinstallation

Under Kernel you find the antiX Kernel (4.9.152)
If you install it , afterwards reboot, the errors with ufw will go away.

I couldn’t see it, because I have already a newer kernel installed.

Old announcement

https://antixlinux.com/4-9-148-kernel-upgrade/

Users are advised to upgrade to the latest 4.9.148 kernel since it adds more protection from spectre/meltdown and the 64 bit version fixes a regression when using (g)ufw firewall.

Philosophers have interpreted the world in many ways; the point is to change it.

antiX with runit - leaner and meaner.

Quick Note; I ended up switching to the 32bit but still had the problem at hand.
I updated to the latest for kernel which says was 4.19.10 but I still can’t seem to get the firewall to stay active. Do I have to leave the program open?

4.19.10 is working nicely with ufw here, 64bit, though.
What does sudo ufw status say after you close the program ?
Also sudo ufw enable ?

Are you running antiX ‘live’ or installed?

You have to turn it on.

Some help here: Gufw

BTW 4.19.10 is not the latest kernel in the repos.

The gui of ufw firewall is a little irritating,it looks maybe like it is not active,but it is.
If you click on unlock it’s on, or not ?

For the kernels, did you already

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get dist-upgrade

for to make the system current?
Maybe then also the newest kernels will be shown in packageinstaller.

Yes I click unlock and it turns on, but then if I exit out and go back in I have to click unlock again.
