Another request from me for a Linux version!

--- maybe related... I remember when switched to linux some years ago, the software I really missed was ZoneAlarm and still haven't find a nice alternative (for fast and easy control of the outbount(!)/inbound net trafic). I liked that I could block and unblock the internet access of each application from the systray icon. Any suggestions?

try ufw https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UFW pretty straight forward

What I would like to have: 1. a notification in real time: "Application FooApp tries to access internet (ip, port, etc)" and options like "Allow Now | Allow Today | Allow Always | Never Allow" (in the gui...) So I will get informed that an application is starting to send data.. and I could block it.

I think it's much easier to set the filters and k control list for the applications while you are using the pc rather than setting them up all at once.

2. "Internet & Bandwidth Usage Monitoring" similar to the Glasswire screenshots. (Stats, Application List that access the internet, hosts, etc) and feature to block with a click some of these (apps,ports,hosts) or all

do I ask a lot? :)
