NAME

       Gufw - Graphic user interface for managing ufw

DESCRIPTION

       Gufw is an easy to use Ubuntu / Linux firewall, powered by ufw.

       Gufw  is  an easy, intuitive, way to manage your Ubuntu 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.  Introduction 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. Now, on the graphical side of things, Firestarer already existed. But
       why not make an even easier to use GUI for desktop `human beings`, powered by ufw? This is
       where Gufw comes in.
