Hi. I wanted to know if it’s needed to install a firewall on a linux desktop/laptop. Why yes or why no?

I assigned my other two machines static IPs (192.168.1.3 and 192.168.1.4, respectively). So now I have: sudo systemctl enable --now ufw sudo ufw default deny sudo ufw allow from 192.168.1.3 sudo ufw allow from 192.168.1.4 sudo ufw limit ssh sudo ufw enable SSH still works, everything is awesome. Thanks again 👏👏👏
