As I mentioned, I am not a programmers, however, I can do testing nad
maybe I can bring you some ideas or think of solutions (in terms of
drawing GUI mockup and more detailed features list/description).

So just an idea for the begining... Canonical is developing ufw
firewall, which is really very much simplier than iptables (or firehol).
So what about contacting their development team and talk about option to
ufw become more NM-aware?

And proxy problem also - in Gnome I can set up system wide proxy, but it
is not working in console when trying to use wget, for instance. This
should be a setting in Network Manager and should be system wide.
