I have heard of ufw and of course using iptables but is there any other firewall or port manager for incoming/outgoing connections. I am also looking for GUI based ones apart from terminal ones and a bonus for any tool used to help in the DDOS attacks and automatic banning that come with Ubuntu. Not talking server only but desktop too.

In terms of firewall tools, there are several graphical front ends, depending on your needs.

gufw is a graphical front end for ufw.

And there is also firestarter, which is popular.

Automatic banning can be done with several tools, iptables, denyhosts, and fail2ban.

I suggest you look at fail2ban.

DDOS attacks can not be stopped, you can set some limits with ufw and iptables.

Those tools should get you started in short order, let us know if you need additional information.
