UFW firewall not available?

Hello mageians, I was wondering if anyone had any success installing the UFW firewall in Mageia, since I was not able to find the package on the repositories, and unfortunately that's the only firewall where I know how to configure a "kill switch" while using a vpn.
A search on the forum with the keyword "ufw" did not bring any useful results.
Has anyone installed it in Mageia? Or which other firewall for beginners do you use?

Thanks in advance.

You may want to describe what you mean by that so others can help you with an alternative using another firewall.

Yeah, sorry about that.
What I do with UFW is allowing incoming traffic only from the VPN ip address and outcoming traffic to the VPN ip address, and denying any other outcoming or incoming request, so that whenever I loose connection with the VPN, then nothing gets leaked out of my computer.
