Gufw

Graphical App information

Asked by Yuma

I'd like to have Gufw display / edit the list of applications and their information.
If this is already possible, please describe how.
Otherwise it's a suggestion.
In fact it would be great to have UFW automatically parse netstat (when some command is issued) and ask if a rule for port xx should be added to the firewall. I'm sure I can write a crude script to do half that, but I think someone else could do a nicer job.

Hi,
You already have the Report tab, in there you can see the processes & ports.
That list is similar to netstat, but with the ufw command.
As Gufw is a frontend for ufw, I prefer this approach that any other as
netstat.
Best regards.

From the console one can type 'sudo ufw app list' to obtain a list of applications. Then one can type 'sudo ufw app info "CUPS"' (or some application in place of "CUPS"). It would be great if GUFW could do something like that...
Since some applications are allowed using the firewall and a user may not know the application. Eg. I have installed webmin (and it was added as '/etc/ufw/applications.d/webmin' and allowed using 'webmin'- not the port 10000; report lists the application as perl (which is not the whole story).
