From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

It might help if you paste a complete dump of your firewall rules. I'm not sure if ufw uses iptables of netfilter since I haven't used it before, but you can do:
for iptables firewalls:
iptables -L
for netfilter firewalls:
nft list ruleset
That might help debug exactly what ufw and your vpn are doing.
Iptables (and nftables, among others) is just an implementation of netfilter kernel modules.
Thanks, looking at it now, but I should have remembered, iptables has a separate tool for ipv6 called ip6tables. Could you also paste the output of
ip6tables -L
If you put it in the comment between backticks like this:
```
```
then it will keep the formatting exactly as it was when you copied it, instead of munging the linebreaks.
ok thank you for your time here is the output of ip6tables -L:
Sorry to be a doofus, but could you paste the output of
iptables-save
andip6tables-save
instead? The default iptables output actually just leaves out important information like which interface the rule applies to.I think the best thing to do would be to see if you can get support from Windscribe and find out whether it's a known issue or a bug that needs fixing.
I did they said it just how their app is made and I should disable ufw
also here is the output of iptables -L again with markdown:
