Description

I propose that there be a front-end for UFW. The front-end would have to be easy enough for the average person to use.

No!

We already have firestarter for this.

UFW is a front-end to iptables.
Do you want a front-end for a front-end? :D

Eldmannen so X11 is a frontend for linux and GNOME is a front-end for X11... BIG DEAL!

Great idea. Would love to see an uncomplicated GUI for this thing.

To fluteflute: Make Firestarter be installed by default then.

I really think there should be a GUI for this kind of things, either it's a front-end of a front-end or a front-end of iptables itself. UFW is not that "uncomplicated" for the novice user... +1
