It would be great to have a native simple iptables/ip6tables firewall gui application which at least have the following features:

list all active rules
add a rule
delete a rule
disable iptables (storing the rules but deleting them from iptables)
enable iptables (reinsert the stored rules)

optionally it could be nice to configure an iptables log file and view the logfile within the app (for the blocked packets)

I'm more or less working on a workaround in my sparetime... but it is not in a state that it is valuable for anyone else i think - does anyone else work on things like that too? My current ideas are based on a solution with two parts - a local running iptables service with authentication and minimal defined whitelisted interface and a pyotherside sfos app to connect to service/show/manage the rules...

An official standard app would be also great but i think that a gui within the system configuration is also an option as there is also an gui for the connection management therefore why not for securing them within the network settings? I agree that iptables rules are not that user friendly. Better would be an easy to understand firewall based on iptables under the hood - but a first step could be this "basic" iptable rules approach.

i agree its an App like Snitch firewall ported to Linux then Sailfish idk. But something that allows profiles and accept reject connections by IP based on current session, user, or connection or in general.
