== TBD items ==
Here is a list of items to be decided upon, grouped loosely in order of popularity.
=== high ===
* manage FORWARD (NAT, port redirections, masquerading): popular request
* network-manager integration and simple gui (separate from gufw)
=== medium ===
* D-Bus/policykit integration (required for NM)
* configurable limit parameters
* IPv6 and 6to4 tunnels
=== low ===
* QoS
* tables support (eg, for blacklisting based on file)
* use hashlimits for 'limit' command (for ipv6)
* mac address filtering
=== deferred ===
* enable ufw by default
* dynamically detect outbound connections and somehow prompt
