Google: Helmet.

BTW, I don't run with a firewall at all. I trust my applications (yay
for tcpdump) and I don't see any untoward traffic going out of my

As for doing things in GUI mode with interruptions to whatever I am
doing, no thank you. I can do without applications which keep
interrupting me from doing work.

that box will not be on the Internet.
