Controlling program access to internet

Asked by Jaime Pérez

I would like to know if there is some way to allow or deny data transmission to certain programs: for example, I don't want firefox to be able to open a connection in port 22, but I want ssh server to be able. It should be done with apparmor?

Hi Jaime, I don't know. You can't with Gufw/ufw now.
My thought is: the firewall is iptables, the iptables is in the kernel, then you can allow/deny ports/IPs... I don't know if you could filter by app.
Sorry.

Can you help with this problem?
