Have you tried simply typing guarddog?

It should appear on the main menu as well.

Basically guarddog is their to write iptables for you, once activated their permantly on. So no need to switch on and off

Try the 2.1.8 version, it'll be the latest stable release very soon.
To test it's working, try opening the Guarddog window and disable http for the internet, and then try browsing. Or try some online firewall testing site.
