    Firewall

    Hello anyone.

    I recently discovered that, since I am on an IPv6 connection, my router does not provide me with NAT capabilities.

    This means that, essentially, I am wandering naked around the internet, like in the old times before being aware of the existence of firewalls.

    Now, I know that there is the powerful IPtables and its "uncomplicated" interface UFW. Unfortunately neither the last is so user-friendly.

    On Gnome there are the nice Gufw and Firestarter to help the users building up their firewall rules.

    My question is, then, what can we use on KDE?

    Many thanks in advance!

    If you are familiar with gufw, go ahead an install it. It doesn't bring in a lot of baggage. sudo apt-get install --simulate shows:
    Code:
    The following extra packages will be installed:
      gir1.2-atk-1.0 gir1.2-freedesktop gir1.2-gdkpixbuf-2.0 gir1.2-gtk-3.0 gir1.2-javascriptcoregtk-3.0 gir1.2-pango-1.0 gir1.2-webkit-3.0 gnome-icon-theme gnome-icon-theme-symbolic

    The following NEW packages will be installed:
      gir1.2-atk-1.0 gir1.2-freedesktop gir1.2-gdkpixbuf-2.0 gir1.2-gtk-3.0 gir1.2-javascriptcoregtk-3.0 gir1.2-pango-1.0 gir1.2-webkit-3.0 gnome-icon-theme gnome-icon-theme-symbolic gufw
      humanity-icon-theme python-netifaces
    0 upgraded, 12 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded.
    So, if you want gufw, in the console type:
    Code:
    sudo apt-get install gufw

      Thanks for the answer.

      In the end I managed to install a module for control center, this one: http://kde-apps.org/content/show.php?content=137789

      Unfortunately, it was a bit messy to install (it did not compile due to missing QT path variables).

      Someone of the Italian community pointed me to some .deb files to install it.
      This is for 32bit and this is for 64bit.


      So, thanks for the reply!

      How does exactly work to mark this question as closed?

            I am curious how you made this determination?
