🚀 Installation

The simplest way to install:

wget https://github.com/Beny406/fwtui/releases/latest/download/fwtui -O fwtui
chmod +x fwtui

🏃 Running

sudo ./fwtui

The app needs sudo because managing UFW firewall rules requires administrative privileges. Without it, the app can’t apply or modify system firewall settings.
