There are plenty of GUIs out there - just google for 'iptables GUI' and
you'll find dozens of tools to help you. However, using iptables at the
command line isn't too difficult if you're only doing simple things like
closing/opening ports on your machine.

There's a IMHO really good framework helping you to setup IPTables without 
having to learn the IPTables syntax etc: net-firewall/shorewall

It is probably simpler than what you think to understand iptables and setup a 
simple rule set.  Have a *slow* look at:

 http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/articles/linux-24-stateful-fw-design.xml 

which is an excellent tutorial to take you through the steps of designing and 
setting up your own firewall.  There's also man iptables to compliment the 
tutorial and explain the many options that exist within iptables.

If you are going to manage a production server or a machine with service ports 
open to the wide web, which is expected to come under considerable attack, 
you may also want to read this:

 http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/articles/dynamic-iptables-firewalls.xml

Alternatively, you can use one of the many automatic script generators and GUI 
rule managers.  If you are used to managing GUI firewalls like you find in MS 
Windows, then Firewall Builder may suit your needs:

http://www.fwbuilder.org/archives/cat_about.html

However, the time you will spend to set up a gui and read its manual and then 
configured it, would probably exceed what it takes to read the iptables 
articles and set a manual firewall ruleset.

HTH.

I second that. I've used shorewall for quite some time. I still don't
know dick about iptables, but it's pretty trivial for me to setup a
simple 'rule' or 'entry' in shorewall's 'rules' file.
