When I go and run `ufw status`, it will report that it is inactive:
# sudo ufw status
Status: inactive
But systemd reports correctly that is actually up and running:
# sudo systemctl status ufw
● ufw.service - Uncomplicated firewall
Loaded: loaded (/lib/systemd/system/ufw.service; disabled; vendor preset:
enabled)

Process: 355585 ExecStart=/lib/ufw/ufw-init start quiet (code=exited,

May 13 19:25:19 srvpkasm03 systemd[1]: Finished Uncomplicated firewall.
This caused us to think we were having an application issue vs. a
firewall issue.
