GUI for iptables (please read before saying "Firestarter")

Hello

Im looking for a good GUI for iptables. Ive read about Firestarter but the problem is that it doesnt show my PREROUTING rules which I need for something specific. I have them added as I did a

iptables -t nat -L

and they are shown but in Firestarter I dont see them anywhere to add/delete/modify/etc. So I need a alternative with this possibility.

Thanks!

Firestarter has been dead for 7 years. Why would anyone recommend it to you? I presume that you can't edit the rules you've added as you've not added them correctly to its own firewall tables. I'd guess that it will only edit ones that it knows are for its own use. Do INPUT rules get slung sideways into another table like FSINPUT or similar?

Personally I'd urge you to not use one at all. Are the default tools with whatever distro you're using not sufficient for basic GUI manipulation though?

Im using Ubuntu 12.10. What "default tools" (that I do not know of) exist in my distro where I can see these prerouting rules?

Thank you
