Firestarter 0.9.3
About Firestarter
Firestarter is visual firewall tool for GNOME. The program features
a friendly setup wizard, a real time event monitor, an advanced rules
based system for traffic shaping and many advanced features like
kernel tuning, NAT and port forwarding setup tools.
A big thanks to all the contributors, we were very happy to see so
many patches this time, and to all the testers that provided input
for this version. Kudos to the GNOME translation teams too, the
program now features some completely ludicrous amount of
localizations, 38 or so last time I checked.
Major changes in this version

Firewall events no longer spam the system console
Firewall policy changes (Paul Drain):
