For configuring iptables on Linux, I've had good luck with Guarddog. |

Pretty simple to use, yet seems quite complete. I tried using |
| 11 |
firestarter back when I was using Suse, but never could quite get the |
| 12 |
hang of it. It was probably from the fact that that was my first foray |
| 13 |
into firewalls, and I was clueless about the different options, and what |
| 14 |
it all meant. (Not to say that much has changed on my part even now !) |

I also use fwbuilder on my Linksys router, mainly because it supports, |
| 17 |
and has a pre-configured firewall for, custom Sveasoft firmware running |
| 18 |
way-stripped down version of Linux on the router. |
