Firewall software for Linux

quetz,

Linux comes with some basic firewalling software/features. If you want to configure the firewall, you can use commands for ipchains (kernel 2.4) or iptables (kernel 2.6). But the easiest way would be to use a GUI like Firestarter http://fs-security.com

Hope that answers your questions.
