shorewall is good - but overkill on a single machine. Have a look at |
| 11 |
the net-misc/monmotha script. Comprehensive, easy to understand and |
| 12 |
works well. |

I am a believer in letting experts do the snarly stuff - and shorewall |
| 15 |
and monmotha get a lot of feedback so they are well sorted. When you |
| 16 |
look at the code and why they are doing particular rules, the simple |
| 17 |
ones like people have suggested only offer basic protection, and |
| 18 |
possibly poor functionality. |
