New Firewall application and Lite Widget status

[Valtam]

I'm looking into UFW alternatives. I haven't found the UI for GUFW to be very user friendly. This is when I came across Firewalld.
It has a highly configurable interface, it uses iptables, and I found it very intuitive to use.
With point and click settings, we are definitely onto a winner.



On that note, would you folks who use it, or can think for others, find having a Firewall status on Lite Widget handy?
I remember a member suggesting it for Series 5.x but can't remember who it was so it isn't my idea, but I thought was a good one. Some indicative, reassuring message related to Security.



To recap:

- Would having a Firewall status on Lite Widget, be a good idea?
- What do you think of Firewalld replacing GUFW?

For testers:

Code:

sudo apt-get remove --purge ufw

Code:

sudo apt-get install firewalld firewall-config

Menu > Settings > Firewall
