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?
