Recommendation for an Application Firewall (open source or commercial)

Featured Replies

Posted

Hi all,

Can anyone recommend an application firewall with gui.

Mandatory feature, query user on first occurrence, and built-in configurations for known software.

Under windows the Symantec Firewall has built in rules for known applications. In addition, I have it configured that anything new that attempts to access the internet has to be approved first. This way I caught some trojans on my computer.

This, for me, is a serious hurdle to switching to Linux.

My new PC will be arriving next week, and I would really like to start using Linux on my home PCs regularly.

 

Can anyone recommend such a firewall?

 

thanks

Gaby
