I had gotten so used to running the firewalld command to block ip’s for whatever reason. Browsing the Networking/FirewallD page to view current rules what a pleasant surprise it was to see this added.
Not sure when it was added but just wanted to say thank you for finally adding it. Much appreciated!
I’m glad you liked it! Thanks for the positive feedback! 
Is there a way to see what’s been added in the GUI?
A CHANGELOG perhaps
you know, those things we all read and do not fully take in/understand/notice at the time
yes, I missed this one too! 
@Ilia
“Add support for allowing a given IP temporarily or permanently in FirewallD module”
Yes, there is a “List FirewallD Rules” button that opens a page listing details about existing rules.
I believe this came up in a discussion about people locking themselves out of their mail. Change your password on one device and you are locked out before you can change others.
Only thing missing now is a timer. 
I remember glossing over this at the time as in my mind I was waiting for “Blocking an IP” which was missing from the changelog. Can’t believe it took me 5 months to notice it, that’s on me.
A timer? Do you mean to auto-remove the rule?
Yes. That way I don’t have to remember to remove it later.
I am glad for this feature as it is very useful and I am pretty sure I asked for it 
It was implemented here:
without reading the code, are the timers optional?
Yes, it’s optional and disabled by default.
