Are there any suggestions for a firewall with an easy GUI? I want to open a port for kde connect so i can use sms and fling my phone to the back of the room. Thanks in advance
If you are using KDE Plasma, then you should be able to install
firewalldorufwfor the firewall, andplasma-firewallfor having GUI firewall settings on Plasma settings.If you dislike
plasma-firewall, then nothing beatsgufwas a frontend forufw.Okay thanks. Would gufw be installed alongside ufw?
Nope, they are separate packages. Although installing
gufwwould trigger the install ofufwfor obvious reasons.
I’m a big fan of
firewalldwithfirewall-config. It’s fairly easy to use even though it might look a bit complicated.You find your default zone, usually
public, you add your ports or your services, you save the changes toruntimeandpermanentconfig and you should be good to go.There is a firewalld GUI that is pretty standard on many distros. (Fedora, opensuse, redhat, etc… use it)
