add support for ufw firewall extension to iptables
As it is hard to configure iptables, the current solution for setting up firewall rules out of plesk is awkward - understood. But wouldn't it be easy to add support for ubuntus ufw and similar handlers (like fail2ban), iptables forwards packets to? You could simply save and restore the corresponding ufw rules in iptables (as you do with other rules) and add an option to activate ufw (and similar if available on the system) on the firewall setting page. This immediately solves the requests for outside configurable firewall rules as in blocking malicious misbehavin attackers out of a script run from the command line or by a cron job... Would make life a lot easier around plesk on the server.

Thank you for your input!
Unfortunately, we have to close your request, because over the years it has not become quite popular for further implementation.
