Description: gtk program for managing and observing your firewall
Firestarter is a complete firewall tool for Linux machines. It
features an easy to use firewall wizard to quickly create a
firewall. Using the program you can then open and close ports
with a few clicks, or stealth your machine giving access only
to a select few. The real-time hit monitor shows attackers
probing your machine.
# dpkg -L firestarter
/etc
/etc/firestarter
/etc/firestarter/non-routables
/etc/ppp
/etc/ppp/ip-up.d
/etc/ppp/ip-up.d/50firestarter
/etc/ppp/ip-down.d
/etc/ppp/ip-down.d/50firestarter
/etc/network
/etc/network/if-up.d

/etc/network/if-down.d
/etc/network/if-down.d/50firestarter
/etc/init.d
/etc/init.d/firestarter
Synaptic says that the firestarter package is not installed (the box is
white), but when the package is right-clicked, then clicked on
properties, and then the installed files tab is selected, it gives the
following list, instead of saying that only files of installed packages
can be shown.
/etc
/etc/firestarter
/etc/firestarter/non-routables
/etc/init.d
/etc/init.d/firestarter
/etc/network
/etc/network/if-down.d
/etc/network/if-down.d/50firestarter
/etc/network/if-up.d
/etc/network/if-up.d/50firestarter
/etc/ppp
/etc/ppp/ip-down.d
/etc/ppp/ip-down.d/50firestarter
/etc/ppp/ip-up.d
/etc/ppp/ip-up.d/50firestarter
This list corresponds with the previous, but note that there are no
files for man-pages, which are usual for any package.
It seems to me that the firestarter package is half installed. Shall I
instruct Synaptic to install firestarter, and then instruct Synaptic to
purge firestarter?
Additional information:
My cable modem has a firewall, and that firewall is switched on.
Synaptic tells that firestarter is not maintained anymore and lacks
support for IPv6, users are recommended to consider gufw.
I am looking forward for your advice.
Kind regards,
Maarten.
