[nmglug] Firewall/NAT package suggestions

[Aaron Birenboim]

I'm ready to add firewall and NAT to my new home server.
It is debian... so debian packages are preferred.

Any suggestions for something a little higher-level than
just making calls to iptables and saving a dump for next boot?

Something, perhaps in:

webmin-firewall - iptables control module for webmin
webmin-shorewall - shorewall firewall control module for webmin
openvpn - Virtual Private Network daemon
netscript-2.4 - Linux 2.4.x (and 2.6.x) router/firewall network
configuration system
lokkit - basic interactive firewall configuration tool (console
interface)
kmyfirewall - iptables based firewall configuration tool for KDE
knetfilter - GUI for configuring the 2.4 kernel IP Tables
ipmasq - securely initializes IP Masquerade forwarding/firewalling
iptables - Linux kernel 2.4+ iptables administration tools
gnome-lokkit - basic interactive firewall configuration tool (GNOME
interface)
guarddog - firewall configuration utility for KDE
guidedog - NAT/masquerading/port-forwarding configuration tool for KDE
fwbuilder - Firewall administration tool GUI
firestarter - gtk program for managing and observing your firewall
fireflier-client-qt - Interactive firewall rule creation tool - QT
client
fireflier-server - Interactive firewall rule creation tool - server
