Question
UFW is disabled every time I ssh into the server.

Hey,
every time I login to my server I get this message:
"ufw" has not been enabled, however it has been configured. To enable it,
run "ufw enable".
If I run ufw status I get Status: active.
When I run ufw enable I get Firewall is active and enabled on system startup. However if I exit out and log back in I get the previous message again.
How can I fix this?

It is not updated when ufw is enabled or disabled. You can remove it altogether using:
