Originally with the firewalld feature change, we were supposed to

idea because they hated the UI, and said something else was needed
instead, but nothing has appeared. So I think that needs to be
re-evaluated as a default.
A firewall app that exposes confusing concepts like network protocols
and ports is unsuitable for the Workstation product, sorry. We'd
definitely consider a simpler firewall app based on app permissions
rather than protocols. I suppose that would require all desktop apps to
be containerized.
