Linux Mint: Warpinator should warn when firewall isn't configured for it #233
Description
Distribution
Mint 22.1 Cinnamon
Package version
1.8.8
Frequency
Always
Bug description
On Linux Mint, I expected Warpinator to just work, especially since it comes pre-installed. Turns out I had to click Preferences -> Connection -> Update firewall rules before the first time I use it. There was no obvious guidance on this within Warpinator.
If Warpinator can detect whether the firewall is blocking it, it should make a very obvious warning and make the "Update firewall rules" button clickable from within that warning.
If Warpinator can't detect this, it should remember whether the user clicked that button (within Warpinator) and display the same kind of warning.
In either case, there would be a "dismiss" and/or a "don't show this again" option.
Steps to reproduce
Try to use Warpinator on a brand new installation of Linux Mint
Expected behavior
Either firewall is configured for Warpinator by default, or Warpinator makes it obvious to the user that the firewall will block it.
