Until recently, I was content using the Uncomplicated Firewall that comes built-into Ubuntu. And it’s called uncomplicated for a reason: its complicated counterpart – the iptables. It’s not to say that iptables are difficult to comprehend or even impossible to use, but is rather massive. In other words, it has immense capacity and functionality, and as such is perhaps a lot more complicated.
