I changed this: -Before=network.target +Before=network-pre.target +Wants=network-pre.target
and get following: Jul 23 09:40:53 us-proxy1 ufw-init[424]: ip6tables-restore: line 4 failed Jul 23 09:40:53 us-proxy1 systemd[1]: ufw.service: Main process exited, code=exited, status=1/FAILURE Jul 23 09:40:53 us-proxy1 systemd[1]: ufw.service: Failed with result 'exit-code'. Jul 23 09:40:53 us-proxy1 systemd[1]: Failed to start Uncomplicated firewall. When I look at /lib/ufw/ufw-init-functions: 147 printf "*filter\n"\ 148 ":INPUT DROP [0:0]\n"\ 149 ":FORWARD DROP [0:0]\n"\ 150 ":OUTPUT DROP [0:0]\n"\ 151 "-A INPUT -i lo -j ACCEPT\n"\ 152 "-A OUTPUT -o lo -j ACCEPT\n"\ 153 "COMMIT\n" | ip6tables-restore || error="yes" This might be realted to loopback interface not beeing configured ?
