It will be the right tool if you like to have a so called +"Personal Firewall" running on your Linux box, but don't have the time and/or +the interest to spend hours in front of the IPTables manual just to setup a +firewall that keeps the "bad" people out. + +The firewall has the ability to save entire rulesets, so you only have to +configure your ruleset one time, and then you can use it on several computers + giving each of them a similar configuration (p.e. school networks, office, +university, etc.). + +Programs can't do any magic, so you still will have to know what your firewall +should do to setup your ruleset. KMyFirewall just tries to help you as much as +possible, but you decide what it will do. + +Since the last stable release, the user interface has been expanded to enable +easier and more flexible configuration for both advanced and novice users. +Also, NAT support has become far more accessible to setup. |
