I agree that a  default set of rules for common internet traffic would
be nice for the desktop user who just wants to do stuff with their
computer not muck about with the settings.

>From a newbie/desktop user perspective it is also more than unnerving to
see that the firewall is "off" before it is unlocked with the admin
password. From the desktop user's prospective if your screen says its
off when its locked and only admits to being on when he enters his admin
password the user really has no way of knowing whether or not it was
actually on before he entered his password. He has to take the lock
window at face value and assume that when he hasn't entered his admin
password that his firewall is just sitting in the computer's break room
having tea instead of being the doorman like its supposed to.

Title:
  gufw and a wizard

Status in Gufw:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  Hi!

  Is it an idea to come with a wizard for beginners to set up GUFW,  and "teach" the options within GUFW?
  Mind, beginners often have a windows background, and are very familiar using firewalls.
