Hi, Topic 1/2: Feature request for settings I was wondering if someone could add a switch for the ufw enable/disable to the settings? As now the default iptables rules are to allow all traffic. And only way to enable the firewall is to 'sudo ufw enable' from terminal.
Topic 2/2: Volunteering to write a Firewall App - I was also thinking that I could volunteer to implement a firewall UI for the ufw, but for that I would need some help on how to setuid to root from c++/qml app? - I was looking at libpam which is used in the terminal, but that is just verifying the user. - Then I was looking the pkexec which is included also on the device image. What is the right way of asking "give me temporary root access" for execution of a shell command from an app? Is there some dbus service or something, which would give sudo rights for a pid or something. I rather ask, than to implement something which is not just right.
