Originally with the firewalld feature change, we were supposed to get a GUI configuration tool, in fact the GUI tool was considered the primary configuration tool, not CLI. But Workstation WG canned that 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.
