good-looking pop-up dialogs and a smart, dynamic firewall, but the
required software doesn't exit yet.
I think that we should start with the low hanging fruit and simplify
the firewall zones to two : a public, restricted one and a
home/private with more ports open; selected by user for each new
interface.
