Are there any suggestions for a firewall with an easy GUI? I want to open a port for kde connect so i can use sms and fling my phone to the back of the room. Thanks in advance

If you are using KDE Plasma, then you should be able to install firewalld or ufw for the firewall, and plasma-firewall for having GUI firewall settings on Plasma settings.

If you dislike plasma-firewall, then nothing beats gufw as a frontend for ufw.

Okay thanks. Would gufw be installed alongside ufw?

Nope, they are separate packages. Although installing gufw would trigger the install of ufw for obvious reasons.
