Subject: [gentoo-user] Personal firewall for Linux?
Date: Mon, 29 Aug 2005 14:54:46 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <431359F6.8000300@erols.com> (raw)
I've seen related threads here recently, but I think my question is
different enough to warrant a new thread.
I'm looking for a personal firewall along the lines of the ZoneAlarm
product for Windows. I don't want to take the time to teach myself
iptables if there is a simple alternative.
I'm not trying to do anything complicated like protect a LAN or include
a DMZ or run an ftp server or anything like that. I'm just looking for
a quick and easy way to add another layer of protection to my desktop by
closing all unused ports.
A GUI is preferred but is not required.
Any suggestions?
(If you dare answer,) what firewall do you use and why did you choose it?
