When you ask for a feature like an easy setup for the use-case of a home network with a DSL all-in-one router-box please file a feature request at https://features.opensuse.org/
There could be already a matching feature request https://features.opensuse.org/305147 But it seems it got already distracted from what should be the main focus (do the right basic firewall setup) towards a nice desktop applet to switch firewall zones http://lizards.opensuse.org/2009/07/10/1453/ This applet is of course useful when moving with a laptop between trusted and non-trusted networks but then security may depend on the user that he does not forget to switch to "external" when he moves into a non-trusted network without doing a reboot in between - I don't know what happens if he only suspends the laptop while moving? Nevertheless I wonder if whatever desktop stuff is really the right solution to do the very basic firewall setup because http://lizards.opensuse.org/2009/07/10/1453/ reads: ---------------------------------------------------------------- It's neither a Firewall configuration tool. That job is still left to Admin tools like YaST. ---------------------------------------------------------------- Strange, but I am no firewall expert to make a decision here.
