Default Help: About Firewall



Hello,

I'm a Linux user, and I wanna build my own firewall. I use Redhat 9 with
2.4.20-8 kernel. But I can't operate iptable very good, so I wanna get some
GUI front-end programs to set my firewall using iptable.

Could you tell me some programs like that?

Thanks in advance!

Amy Lee

fwbuilder is the only one I know, but I don't really trust them. If
you're in any way concerned about the security of this firewall or the
things behind it, then learn iptables and make sure you understand the
consequences of the scripts you write.

Darren.
