[Bug 1103480] Re: Warn about what I am about to break

 

** Description changed:

  For example, if I block outgoing port 80 I would like a Pro and Con list
  of reasons why it is a good and a bad idea to block this port. Like an
  automated security review.
  
  “This rule will prevent the following programs from behaving as
  expected:\n* Web browsers\n* Most web integration.\n\n This is only
  recommended in a very limited environment.”
+ 
+ Or even smart-service usage detection:
+ 
+ “The open gajim process appears to be a XMPP client* but you have not
+ opened the relevant service ports. Would you like to create rules for
+ that?”
+ 
+ * Based on open ports/sockets mapped against registered TCP port usage.
