Firewall administration in Slackware Linux

Which front end?

These programs configure a script, usually rc.firewall, which in turn sets up iptables. Iptables then handles all the filtering mangling and NAT requirements for you.

As ever there are lots of options, I used to use Guarddog which was great. However I now need to do NAT and guarddog required me to use a companion program called guidedog. Instead I thought I’d try the native KDE options, the closest thing to that seems to be KMyFirewall.

KMyFirewall (KMF)

This is pretty good.
