Is there a better "front-end" for iptables?

like a gui program? some thing that would make the script for you? a website?

any thing..
i checked out firestarter but thats just too non configurable.. that makes very simple firewall.

Have you checked out webmin? It can configure iptables among many other things. Not sure how advanced the iptables config is though.

EDIT: Make sure to update modules from within webmin to get latest bugfixes. Do so from the Webmin Category, Webmin Cofiguration-> Upgrade Webmin icon (not the webmin modules icon).

I prefer doing the configuration by myself, but you can try firewall builder.

Never used it, but looks nice.

Yes, if you haven't already done so just "emerge fwbuilder; emerge iputils" and be happy.

Fwbuilder really rocks. I'm using it for more than 1 or 2 years now and it is really relatively easy to use and, really really powerfull. It is _way_ better than anything webmin-based I have ever seen... ;-)

you may give firestarter a try (if you wanna use gnome)
