IP Tables.... thats the 'thingy' that works like a firewall for your linux box. It has a ton of features, and if you are like me... its all over your head... you don't even know where to begin.

 

Enter Firewall-Jay

its a handy-dandy if-i-can-figure-it-out-so-can-you script.

 

it can lock down your box pretty tight, its worked well for me.

 

you can get more info/download from here: firewall-jay.sourceforge.net

 

enjoy ;)

Finally someone else that is using Firewall-Jay! Heh I love that script... it really buttons things up as well as has some nice scripts to block pop-up's and adware from entering or leaving your network... One thing I love about it is the fact that when tailing the log file I can see when some spyware on a windows box on the network is trying to connect to the internet and is blocked.. in return allowing me to go wipe it out =)
