ufw default forward policy


Hey guys,

I have just setup an pptpd on a remote server which i will be using for management of some network equipment on a local subnet.

The guide that i followed sayd that i should change the follwing line in /etc/default/ufw

DEFAULT_FORWARD_POLICY="DROP"
to
DEFAULT_FORWARD_POLICY="ACCEPT"

Will this cause some kind of vulnerability or is this safe to accept?

Probably a stupid question but i felt that i had to ask
