Firestarter

Firestarter is a firewall tool for GNU/Linux, and uses GNOME. You can use the wizard to create a basic firewall, then streamline it further using the dynamic rules. You can open and close ports with a few clicks, or stealth your services giving access only to a select few. It features a real-time hit monitor which you can watch as attackers probe your machine for open ports. The program has been translated into 21 languages (see site for complete list).
