[ILUG] Firewall / iptables web interface

[Kevin Philp]

I recently trawled around looking for something suitable that didn't hide too 
much of the detail away. The ones I looked at were:

fwbuilder
firestarter
guarddog
Webmin's "linux firewall" module

I ended up using the webmin "linux firewall" module. It is very basic and you 
set each rule up individually...for my needs it happened to fit. The GUI is 
ugly. If you want a nice GUI download the first three and try them all. I 
think ... memory could be going....fwbuilder is the more feature laden.
