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.
