picoFIREWALL is a small, but very efficient firewall for Linux systems; it was extensively tested on Debian GNU/Linux and SUSE Linux.

The main advantages are that picoFirewall is quickly installed (especially under Debian Linux) and that there is no or only minimal configuration needed.

Also, the log file is kept small, by logging only minimally, but without missing important entries.

The results may easily be viewed on informational HTTP-pages, if the package picoFirescan is installed as well.
