Title:
  Extensions to the "Add Rule" forms

Status in Gufw:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  This are two whishes for some usefull gui extensions of the "Firewall: Add Rule" of Gufw.
   
  When adding a rule under tab "Preconfigured" in "Firewall: Add Rule", it would be nice to be able to add a IP (like 192.168.1.1 or 2000::1) or a net (like 192.168.1.0/24 or 2000::0/64) for which the Service or Program should apply.  

  It would also be great if Service or Program could also be selected as
  the port part of the tab "Advanced".

  As it is now, one can only allow/deny for instance Samba access to
  none or the whole world, not only to the local net or a singel host or
  range of hosts. To do that, you have to use ufw.

  It would also be nice if the From:- and To:-fields of addresses in
  "Advanced" (and address field in "Simple") could do IP or Network
  lookup (like from /etc/hosts and /etc/networks or where
  /etc/nsswitch.conf say).  But this should prob. also be added to ufw.

  Both whishes, Service/Program on nets/hosts and IP/Network look up, is
  getting more important as we get more use of IPv6. Remember a long
  IPv6 host/network address is not that convinient for those who prob.
  are targeted for this program.

  Anyway, thanks for a good program.
