With Ubuntu you can post to your favorite social networking sites from your desktop. Ubuntu uses the <app>Friends</app> scope to allow you to organize your social networking sites in one place, and to post updates from the <gui>Me Menu</gui> without opening any website.

Many programs are built to offer network services. For instance, you can share content, or let someone view your desktop remotely. Depending on which additional programs you install, you may need to adjust the firewall to allow these services to work as intended. UfW comes with a number of rules already pre-configured. For instance, to allow <app>SSH</app> connections, enter <cmd>sudo ufw allow ssh</cmd> in a terminal. To block ssh, enter <cmd>sudo ufw deny ssh</cmd>.

Each program that provides services uses a specific <em>network port</em>. To enable access to that program's services, you may need to allow access to its assigned port on the firewall. To allow connections on port 53, enter <cmd>sudo ufw allow 53</cmd> in a terminal. To block port 53, enter <cmd>sudo ufw deny 53</cmd>.

A <em>MAC address</em> is the unique identifier that is assigned by the manufacturer to a piece of network hardware (like a wireless card or an Ethernet card). MAC stands for <em>Media Access Control</em>, and each identifier is intended to be unique to a particular device.

In practice, you may need to <link xref="net-wireless-edit-connection">modify or "spoof" a MAC address</link>. For example, some internet service providers may require that a specific MAC address be used to access their service. If the network card stops working, and you need to swap a new card in, the service won't work anymore. In such cases, you would need to spoof the MAC address.

If this doesn't work, there could be a problem with the Network Manager. To see if this is the case, go to the <link xref="unity-dash-intro">Dash</link> and open the Terminal. Type <cmd>nm-applet</cmd> and press <key>Enter</key> and see if the network menu appears. If it doesn't, you should see some error messages appear in the Terminal. These should tell you what is going wrong, but they may be quite technical in nature. If so, ask for help on a support forum and quote these error messages.

A possible reason for why you are using Ubuntu is the robust security that Linux based systems are known for. One reason that Linux is relatively safe from malware and viruses is due to the lower number of people who use it. Viruses are targeted at popular operating systems like Windows, that have an extremely large user base. Linux based systems are also very secure due to their open source nature, which allows experts to modify and enhance the security features included with each distribution.

There are a number of different types of VPN. You may have to install some extra software depending on what type of VPN you're connecting to. Find out the connection details from whoever is in charge of the VPN and see which <em>VPN client</em> you need to use. Then, open <app>Ubuntu Software</app> and search for the <app>network-manager</app> package which works with your VPN (if there is one) and install it.
