Hello everybody,

I'm planning to use iptables as it seems it's powerfull and it will let me choose really what is allowed and what is not (because of p2p stuff etc. which allways keeps complaining - and out of curiosity)

However, I never used iptables before and it looks like it's got some learning curve :-P I found a great tutorial at http://iptables-tutorial.frozentux.net/iptables-tutorial.html .. I'm not going to try myself just like that as I'm afraid I might kill the internet connection like that, therefor I want to ask for some help.


I recently ran across the "Easy Firewall Generator for IPTables"
web page, where you can plug in some simple requirements and it
will generate an iptables firewall script on the fly.  Check it
out at:

Thank you for your reply,

I found that one easy to use and I just checked for the needed modules in the kernel (they are there allright)
I'll try the resulting script soon!
BTW, if something weird happens, how can I shut it down again? (you never know...)

Thanks again ,

Joris
