Re: Is Guarddog still the easiest and best firewall GUI program for Linux?

Thanks. I will have to check it out. Yeah, I think I will have to dump
Guarddog soon and starting learning a new GUI firewall program if Debian
is going to dump it. :(

Actually, will Debian remove my installed Guarddog later on or does it
leave it alone? Guarddog seems to work though. I use the same firewall
rules from my old Debian box (export and import feature).

1) Guarddog has not had a new release in over 4 years.

2) The last release of Guarddog was based on the obsolete QT3/KDE3.

2) Debian unstable no longer provides Guarddog.

Please draw your own conclusions in terms of what you consider "best".

As an alternative you may wish to consider gufw.

Description: graphical user interface for ufw

gufw is an easy and intuitive way to manage your Linux firewall.

It supports common tasks such as allowing or blocking pre-configured,
common p2p, or individual port(s), and many others!
