Gufw - Simple GUI for ufw (Uncomplicated Firewall)
Posted by suvi under Security
We have already discussed how to use UFW from command line.Gufw is an easy to use Ubuntu / Linux firewall, powered by ufw.Gufw is an easy, intuitive, way to manage your Linux firewall. It supports common tasks such as allowing or blocking pre-configured, common p2p, or individual ports port(s), and many others! Gufw is powered by ufw, runs on Ubuntu, and anywhere else Python, GTK, and Ufw are available.
iptables is already a very powerful tool by itself, but it’s syntax can get awkward at times and hard to figure out, so Ubuntu developers decided to make ufw (”The reason ufw was developed is that we wanted to create a server-level firewalling utility that was a little bit more for `human beings`.”), which was to be simpler.
