Firestarter is a firewall program which provides an user friendly graphical user interface.
Installing Firestarter
- Select System -> Administration -> Synpatic Package Manager and select
firestarter. Then choose to install the package. - After installing Firestarter, log out and then back in again (to update the menus to show Firestarter).
- Once the desktop is back up, select Applications -> System Tools -> Firestarter. When you run Firestarter for the first time, it will walk you through a wizard which should be very easy to follow.
- After you finish the wizard save your settings. The Firestarter main window then opens.
Configuring Firestarter
The configuration files for Firestarter could be found in /etc/firestarter, however it is not recommend that you edit these files manual. The graphical interface is very intuitive making it easy to add and remove firewall rules.
