Personally, I'd use ipfilter instead of ipchains/iptables, or what ever
they
are calling it this month. It is much better software and I find it much
easier
to use and configure than the other. It is used on a wide variety of
OS's.
However, what ever you choose to use, it will still be a steep learning
curve.
You might be better off learning more about your current firewall than
switching
to something else. Since I do know how to set up ipfilter, I do
find
it difficult using the canned firewall boxes. Things I could easily do
with
ipfilter are usually a pain in the neck or they can not be done at all
with
these other boxes. I hope this is of some help.
Thanks for the advice Brent.
