I never use the GUIs. I don't feel that, in general, they give you the

what is really going on in the system, and how to properly and

I suggest that you look at the iptables command. This will modify the
rules directly.
In fedora, once you get the rules the way you want them, run
'/etc/init.d/iptables save' to update the /etc/sysconfig/iptables file.
I never edit the sysconfig file by hand, although I will make copies of
the file as backup.
