I plan to look at shorewall but thought I'd just ask here for recommendations.
Look no further.
I personally prefer the basic linux firewall module that comes with webmin. I found it very easy to understand, and easier to implement exactly the rules I wanted than with the suse firewall.
YMMV
Joe Have yu looked at firestarter?
Yes, and I don't like GUIs for such basic funcionality. First of all I'm almost always login in through ssh to the server that's running the firewall, so that makes a frontend with text-files much easier to use. Second; seeing all the rules in one page, exactly as they are going to be installed is the only way to make sure the frontend does what I mean, not what a program with fuzzy controls thinks I mean.
