@Root Thanks!

This worked for me on my Arch Gnome 42.5 :+1:t3:

applet should work for all vanilla DEs per default… but we do disable it for xfce4 and i3 versions because it is causing around 100MB extra mem usage on them…

So if you are using a newer EndeavourOS xfce4 or i3 install remove that file to autostart the applet again:

rm ~/.config/autostart/firewall-applet.desktop and re-login…

@joekamprad Sorry for not clarifying, my EOS works flawlessly. This was on my 2nd pc that has Vanilla Arch Gnome.
