"Error getting authority: Error initializing authority: Could not connect: No such file or directory" when running gufw

Question

I am trying to run gufw to enable traffic through port 443 (for Ogar, not Skype), and gufw logs:

Error getting authority: Error initializing authority: Could not connect: No such file or directory

sudo ufw enable returns:

ERROR: Could not load logging rules

So I don't think it is a ufw error. How should I fix this or how should I allow websocket communication through port 443?

UFW does not "know" what traffic you use a port for, so the only thing you have to do is enable traffic on port 443.

sudo ufw allow 443

If you want only TCP traffic you can even set

sudo ufw allow 443/tcp
