Firewall For XANDROS OC

Firewall For XANDROS OC

[Juan Palacios]

Hello,

     I am looking for a simple firewall for xandros
open circulation that doesn't require programming,
dos, ect..
Just a firewall that's easy to install that will work
on xandros open circulation. Point and click interface
like SYGATE, ZONE ALARM, ECT..sorry to bother the ip
tables guys but i figured that you guys would know
best. I mean if you can handle ip tables im sure you
guys can handle a interface type firewall with gui.
Thanks.

You can search the mail list archives for similar discussion.  I am
aware of fwbuilder (http://www/fwbuilder.org) which is a very powerful
rule creator.  There was another php based project discussed on this
list a while ago but I've forgotten its name.  Many seemed to like it
because of its simplicity  Unlike fwbuilder, it gave direct control over
the rule creation process.  On the other extreme and yet unfinished is
ISCS (http://iscs.sourceforge.net) which isn't a rule configurator at
all.  It looks at the entire environment, user authentication, access
control, VPN, routing, PKI, creates device specific rule sets without
conflict for each of the subsystems and automatically distributes them
to the end devices.

Hope this helps - John

Firestarter is similar to Zone Alarm in most repects:
