I think you don't need anything else than Iptables. You should learn
Iptables if you want to use linux as a firewall. But my suggestion is PF
on BSD. PF is a very powerful stateful firewall. I use PF on FreeBSD and
I show 1-2 million states at attack times. Also my firewall cpu and
memory usage is very low shown (I have 1 cpu and 4GB memory).

If you want to more easy solution than PF+BSD you can use pfsense.
pfsense is web based management tool for PF on FreeBSD. You must do some
settings as manual on terminal but I think pfsense is better solution
for you.
