When I click the gear icon in the top right corner of the screen, select Systems Settings, the systems settings window opens and I see headings like "Personal" "Hardware" "System". Under the "System" heading there is no 'Firewall' option. I've started using the Firewall frontend from the Ubuntu Software store but I would like to add it to the options window just to have easy access to everything in one place.

  • Okay, that tutorial seems to be for a much older version of Ubuntu/GNOME. I use 16.04 LTS, I should have mentioned that before.

  • I meant that to point you in the right direction. I am also using 16.04 and Gnome. Most of the information in that question still applies to 16.04, The desktop entries are still in /usr/share/applications/appname.desktop There is also a mention in the comments to use donf-editor. Unfortunately Xconfiguration has gotten quite complicated because of all the different distros. The easiest solution would be to run the application and lock it to your launcher.
