   many bugs that block connections

ufw mentions (4)

• Cannot install gufw in fedora37

  You may already know this, but gufw is simply a graphical front-end to the Uncomplicated Firewall (ufw) service. Fedora uses the Firewalld back-end service instead of ufw. I believe you would need to replace Firewalld with ufw entirely in order to make gufw a plausible solution. Source: about 1 year ago

• ufw --help is very bad

  I just started using ufw https://launchpad.net/ufw and I found that it only shows --help for the root command. Source: over 2 years ago

• why UFW is open-source and GUFW is proprietary ?

  Why do you think Gufw is proprietary? It's FOSS, licensed as GPL v3, as documented here. Source: almost 3 years ago

• Huge surge in hits to connectivitycheck.gstatic.com from my phone knocks out my PiHole

  Another option is to use UFW and rate limit incoming packets. Because it's a firewall, it will block the queries even before they hit Pi-hole, but it might be a tad more tricky to set up. I also don't know if you can set it as a limitation per client or only in general (per port/rule). I'll leave that for you to investigate further. Source: about 3 years ago

• Management VLAN vs Native.

  There is way to get default to do whatewer you want (including preseted VLAN on some port): Get some config, which you'd like to use as default Login to mikrotik.com Use branding section to get packet, which can be installed on any RoS to change default config and some other things.
