I did give ufw/gufw a shot. gufw didn't seem to want to cooperate, so I went
to the CLI to run ufw there. The man page was not as helpful as I would have
liked, and the googling didn't give me much more than start and stop. Since
I was having significant n00b issues with it, I thought it better that I
re-implement my iptables ruleset and run firestarter to see local changes I
made to my home network. I must say that I don't exactly remember what the
nature of the problems were that I had with ufw/gufw, only that they seemed
like undue complication for what ufw / gufw actually do. Maybe I'll give it
another go and fire a message to the group for some assistance with it,
since it seems to be the method of choice within Ubuntu these days.
