FireHOL

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

FireHOL is a firewall application designed to work with a lower level firewall utility for the linux kernel, iptables.

FireHOL does not use a GUI, but is configured through an easy to understand plain text configuration file. An further advantage of FireHOL is its friendliness to beginners - you don't have to worry about the answer packet because FireHOL first parses the configuration file and then sets the appropriate iptables rules to achieve the expected firewall behavior.

FireHOL is free software, distributed under the terms of the GNU General Public License.
