GUFW firewall front-end

[bodhi.zazen]

Oh yes, that's really good news. Thanks. Lots of newcomers complained about the lack of this feature in the past. Do you know if you can set it up through gufw? I don't want to install it just to check it out.

Not gufw yet, gui always lag behind command line tools and as you know outgoing traffic is not considered as critical to limit.

Because ufw / gufw is blocking only NEW incoming connections, not established connections or outgoing traffic.

So it blocks the incoming packets on NEW connections.
I was under the impression that ,if no rule were made ,the
incoming tcp packet would be blocked ,whether it is on new
connection or previously existing one.

thanks for the clarification.

looks like linuxdc++ asks a remote computer to initiate a connection to my computer to a specific port .. as i need to
put a port number in linuxdc++ preferences
and i need to allow that same port in gufw.
