You can alway drop some iptables rules to your rc.local script STOP THAT: if you setup a fresh install and your machine is in a untrustable network or directly connected to the WAN you have no chance to enable the firewall from the moment on one of the by default started services like Avahi has a critical bug nobody oculd have imagined before and you are fucked due the first boot as it happened to WinXP in the past do we really want to enter that road to hell?
