alas, it has been too many years since I dabbled, but in having recently installed Ubuntu Kitty v20, and enabled GuFW, I would like more granular control then what I find in Gufw.
(I read through as best I could the sticky on "Is FW needed,...")
Although, I am not exactly sure what I am asking for to be able to do a specific word/phrase search.
In essence, I would prefer to have GuFW to prompt me whenever X, Y, or Z program/service/etc attempts a network connection, to then Allow, Deny, etc.
Additionally, a prompt that would give announcement and ability to prevent Program A from launching program B would be nice too.
Help with the above terminology would also be appreciated.
If I recall correctly, I would prefer to have a Restrictive Firewall (BLOCK Everything, then Allow as Needed) then train/configure it as needed as network connection attempts are discovered; rather than blindly guessing about a, b, or c protocols, or closing the "barn door" after the horses have fled.
Are these functions available in general? and if not, why not?
Also, can Gufw be configured to perform as such, or need I interact with a different GUI-based FW?
Thank you for your time in thoughtfully replying.
