iptables is the tool that we use to configure netfilter, the underlying packet filtering system in Linux. smoothwall is an integrated firewall product that uses iptables and netfilter underneath. > Is there any other Firewall that I can use or that would be good? > I am using Debian Woody and the firewall will sit behind a TPG ADSL > Router. It sounds like you're looking for a firewall product, rather than just the technology used by them. I'd recommend e-smith <http://e-smith.org/>, which integrates quite a number of functions into an easy-to-use system. Note that most of the firewall products are complete distributions themselves. e-smith installs from CD, smoothwall is floppy-based, etc. If you want to use Woody as your firewall, you will need to learn iptables, or use an firewall construction utility, such as Lokkit, firestarter or fwbuilder. - Jeff -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group - http://slug.org.au/ More Info: http://lists.slug.org.au/listinfo/slug
