I am looking for some firewall for ubuntu with GUI, something like comodo firewall available for windows, which lets you to allow only specific processes to connect to Internet. Currently I am using Fire-starter but I dont like it much also it is very old and doesn't allow you to block specific program.
EDIT: I need it for personal use not for any server.
I've a mind to deny _all outgoing_ except my bookmarks (having got their IP) and DNS. Trouble is I'm unsure about new sites, running a whois/reverse and adding it on.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI notice that on DistroWatch, the descriptions include "debian based", "arch based", etc. For the newbie, is there any practical difference between the different bases, or is it a Coke vs Pepsi type question?
Is a distro based on Debian say, easier for a newbie to learn or work with than say one that is FreeBSD based?
When you use an IDE and it asks you if you want frame based or dialog based, what is the difference?

three files. That causes a lot of clutter in the log files, and makes it difficult to see whether there are any serious problems being logged.
I am learning to setup firewall in my home for that i have selected four system(sys1,sys2....sys4) for testing .I have configured sys2 to act as a firewall with two NIC. sys3 and sys4 are inside the firewall . sys1 is not connected to firewall for testing purpose.
the IP assignments are follows :
sys1 : ( fedora, not connected to firewall i am thinking, But i am not sure )
IP : 192.168.2.1 ,
gateway : blank
dns1 : blank
dns2 : blank
sys2 firewall ,IPTABLES )
code....
what happened is that sys1(not connected to firewall) can ssh to sys4(connected,inside firewall),since the rules are written not to ssh form sys1 to sys4..
then I came to know whatever the request I give, It directly goes as sys1 --> sys4. Not as sys1-----> sys2(firewall)---> sys4 .and the firewall is not filtering and processing anything for both inbound and outbound (i think it's my mistake some where). the requests are directly going inside without firewall.
I am working on a set up, and I like to be able to toggle compiz on and off, or toggle dualscreen on and off. The thing is, I also have conky on my desktop as well as a terminal window embedded in my desktop (that requires compiz). So, when I turn comiz off, or resize my desktop, I want to be able to reposition conky/embedded-terminal and the terminals position is relative to my conky position and the size of my virtual desktop.
I can do this all fine, except that to reposition the terminal I need to kill it then reopen it. But if I kill gnome-terminal it kills ALL gnome-terminals instead of just my embedded one. How can I specifically close my embedded one and leave any others untouched? Lets say that the title of my embedded terminal is "trans777"Also, the trans777 titled gnome-terminal will be killed when compiz is not running.
I'm trying to build firewall on Debian with 'Firewall Builder'. But it won't let me compile and run unless one interface is set as management. There are two interfaces on my computer: 'eth0' and 'lo'
I don't want to be able to configure firewall remotely, so could I use 'lo' as 'management interface'?
I've got some source code that loads and plays WAV files through the OSS drivers (and USB audio). The code works even under 2.6.34. Is there any benefit to rewriting the code using the ALSA system?

View 9 Replies View Relatedwe're trying to build a simple Firewall/Gateway out of Ubuntu. We have a machine with 2 NICs running the latest version: 10.04.We have been able to set up the gateway/routing fine using both the built in Internet Connection Sharing as well as using Guidedog. The current setup we are testing is using Guidedog.For the NICs we have set eth0 as our internet connection and eth1 connects to the LAN. We've manually set all IPs...no DHCP at this time.
Next we try to install a firewall. We have tried both Firestarter and Guarddog. After setup with either, the Ubuntu box is still able to get online and access web sites but the LAN gets cut off. No access at all. We are currently running Guarddog and have set the proper protocols (DNS, HTTP, HTTPS) and have also followed the tutorial found here.
However, no matter what settings we make as soon as we re-enable the firewall the LAN is cut off. Disable the FW...LAN is back online. We even set up an "Allow All" protocol allowing all ports from 1:65535 and still we get cut off as soon as the FW is enabled.
We saw this same thing happen with Firestarter and my understanding is they're using the same basic Linux FW underneath? SO, what is it we're neglecting to do? Why does the FW completely seal off our LAN connection no matter what we've told it to allow?
Ultimately, here's the layout we're after:
Internet (T1) <> Firewalled Ubuntu <> LAN
I am currently using Release Ubuntu 10.04 (lucid)

My question is: How can I tell if my fire wall is on? The reason I asked this is because My internet is running really slow and choppy.....I have 3.5MBPS but I feel like its Dial-up. I have a New Lap top with 1gig-mem,1.6 processor and 320gig Hd.

View 4 Replies View RelatedIve been looking for a Debian based distro that is as close to Debian as can be with all the codecs and stuff already in it, also wireless. I would go with Debian, but TBH, I am not wanting to toy around with setting it up. Yes, there is Ubuntu which I have used for a while now, but I am wanting something closer to the source, as it were. Also, from what I understand, Ubuntu also changes things and they arent straight DEB anymore. Am I crazy? Is there anything like this? Or am I stuck with either Debian or Ubuntu?

View 1 Replies View RelatedI am on Linux on machine LOCAL (my notebook).I ssh into a company machine REMOTE which is behind a firewall and ONLY allows incoming ssh connections (port 22), no outbound connections whatsoever. I do have full root access on both, LOCAL and REMOTE, REMOTE is however a VPS and behind a hardware firewall.I now need network access on REMOTE (HTTP and other protocols) for downloading and building some software. I also need to access to NON HTTP protocols such as git.
I was hoping to set up a reverse SSH tunnel for using my LOCAL machine, where I could be running a socks server. So that network access on REMOTE would be redirected over the SSH tunnel to a socks server running on machine LOCAL.How would I go about setting something like this up?

View 2 Replies View RelatedAfter metering the power being used daily in my computer room, I decided that I needed to get somewhat greener. So I am updating all my equipment and getting rid of the old towers and power hungry equipment. So far so good, except for the box running Smoothwall.
It is an old IBM 300GL from the '90s that is apparently never going to die. But it is noisy and not exactly low powered and has to be on all the time. The only machines that I have presently that can be used as a replacement are full blown AMD 3000 and 6000's, and I hate to waste one of those just to be a firewall. I can find some mini cube systems that are very low powered - some even run on just a wall cube - but can't find one with two ethernet ports, and of course there is no plugin buss on a tiny box.
I'm using Plesk as my control panel. After the PIX was installed, I mapped the old IPs to the new IPs. Port 80 is OPEN. My PHP includes won't work when I use the domain, actually nothing works when I use the domain infront of it. I tried adding 10.0.0.1 [URL] to /etc/hosts and still had no luck
