fernandez · **Linux firewall -** June 23rd, 2003, 01:22 PM

Does anyone know of a firewall for Linux similar to ZoneAlarm?
There are many IP tables based firewalls, but I'm looking for something that allows port blocking to be soft coded, i.e. ports open and close based on programs that run at the moment.

i doubt it.

most linux users are hardcore, and like to do it the hard way.

i second the firestarter thing, it's pretty good, though i recently got rid of it because i found a tutorial on using IPTABLES...google for that so u don't need to DL anything extra...if anything i'll post my iptables config.
