Is there any possible way that this command: sudo ufw status numbered would output: enabled because I can't think of any reason it would, but it did.

  • It just means there are no rules set in place, and that default rules will apply, which are whatever is reported by sudo ufw status verbose. If you were to set a rule, it would display, along with its id.

  • So the default rules aren't set rules that can be numbered?

  • No, defaults apply to all incoming / outgoing or routed traffic that doesn't match a specific rule, and the traffic can be allowed, denied or rejected; there must be a default behavior set for each type of traffic, and the default behavior can be changed using sudo ufw default allow|deny|reject [incoming|outgoing|routed]; it makes little sense to number these default "rules", I wouldn't even call them "rules", they just define how the firewall should behave when no rule matches.
