A simple intuitive whitelist/blacklist firewall with logging for both inputs and outputs. I shouldn’t have to navigate NFT’s complexity or write scripts simply to list all the websites I’m willing or unwilling to connect to and their port number. There are silly limitations on all the tools I’ve tried.

I use a whitelist because my code sucks, and PDF datasheets for hobbyist hardware projects can be super sketchy to download. I have somewhere around 600 entries on my list. It feels like an intentionally obfuscated/overcomplicated issue in OpenWRT and elsewhere from a user’s perspective.

I really don’t trust local LLM’s overall now that they’ve been shown to have hidden vulnerabilities and would love to have an easier way to monitor an outputs log and sandbox really.
