Title:
  Warn about what I am about to break/automated review of rules

Status in Gufw:
  In Progress

Bug description:
  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.
