Ever since I installed Fedora Core 4 on my new machine, I’ve been using a simple firewall script that does an excellent job without being excessively end-user configured. Extensibility is no doubt the foremost feature of Dr. Bob Sully’s hardcore set of IPTables firewalling scripts, and for the übergeek I would still recommend that one—but if you don’t have time to worry about a firewall on your Linux box, check out the Projectfiles.com Linux Firewall.

The Projectfiles.com Linux Firewall is the swiss army knife of Linux firewall software. Based on the netfilter-iptables tools, the firewall is a single shell executable written in bash with configuration options and basic documentation included in the same file. It is a flexible tool for building secure networks, designed for use with all types of systems: workstations, routers, and servers, plus it includes optional features for advanced users and Internet Service Providers.
