sounds to me similar to other issues like sysprep customizations…
we do want to have user frriendly interface and provide a nice config of the most useful parameters
yet we want to often provide better control for more advanced uses/users
Would it perhaps make sense to have a simple config with a nice GUI for few of the ports we do configure often, and an option of editing/uploading of iptables rules file? And I guess similarly for sysprep ...
