Network Isolation

  • Use dedicated VLANs for NFS traffic.

  • Configure UFW rules to restrict access.

  • Never expose NFS to untrusted networks.

AppArmor Configuration

AppArmor is enabled by default on Ubuntu. Check status:

# Check AppArmor status
sudo aa-status

# If NFS access is blocked, check logs
sudo journalctl | grep apparmor | grep DENIED
