I just cant get myself to learn iptables. so can anyone reccomend a gui tool that generates rules for iptables that they have tried? in windows and linux. an online tool is even better.
Thanks.

If you don't mind the slight Gnome libraries dependencies: | Code: | | # emerge firestarter |
It's a straightforward GUi that allows you to easily set basic firewall rules and more advanced things like port forwarding and access ctontrol over NAT. I like it.

Yepp, true for WIN+MAC but the Linux version is free. 50$ shouldn't be a problem compared to other licence prizes for Windows, correct? Latest when looking onto the fact that you can manage iptables/ipfilter/pf/Pix with the same GUI.

i am basically a free software guy....I just like the cross platform option  I havent tried the linux version of fwbuilder, but if it is as good as the windows one...then that should work just fine.
Thanks

Really easy to use, but powerful and secure too.

iptables is a dependancy of firestarter, so...
But what i don't understand:
I had a working iptables ruleset, made with the help of the "IPTables Howto Part 1" here from the forums.
When i start Firestarter, i can't see any of the rules i made.
Does it start an own instance of iptables, or is it flushing my old rules?
I tried to stop /etc/init.d/iptables to see if it makes any difference in firestarter... it doesn't.
In the online documentation i can't find a note on "existing iptables ruleset".
So, what's up?
