You run it on a different physical machine.

The GUI is a web server that you access via a web client from the
network within the firewall. There's no X on the firewall.

You are expecting a firewall application to run on a multi-purpose
system rather than a dedicated box. You can get an old pentium with a
CDROM and an ethernet card at Goodwill for under $40 and borrow
keyboard and monitor from your main machine for configuration. Whether
you go that cheap or buy some minimal harware new should depend on your
needs.
