You do understand that your firewall settings are active without the graphical interface running ? There is no need to run gufw unless you need to change your configuration. – Panther May 09 '14 at 19:03

See http://blog.bodhizazen.net/linux/firewall-ubuntu-gufw/ https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Gufw and https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UFW . You otherwise need to ask a more specific question. – Panther May 09 '14 at 19:09

If you already installed gufw, which is basically just a GUI for ufw
sudo apt-get install ufw gufw
you can make sure next that your firewall is enabled by running this command:
sudo ufw enable
and you can check you firewall status after restart using this command:
sudo ufw status verbose
By all means, you can open Gufw and unlock the settings and check if all is ok. After that you can close Gufw, the firewall will still be active and running in background.
If you plan to secure your computer way beyond the simple ufw firewall you can visit this link to learn how to secure a linux server or a workstation. You should pay a special attention to the following steps present in this tutorial:
- Protect su by limiting access only to admin group
- Harden network with sysctl settings
- Scan logs and ban suspicious hosts - DenyHosts and Fail2Ban
- Check for rootkits - RKHunter and CHKRootKit
