KMyFirewall is an IPTables based firewall configuration tool for KDE running on Linux based systems.
KMyFirewall attempts to make it easier to setup IPTables based firewalls on Linux systems. It will be the right tool if you like to have a so called "Personal Firewall" running on your Linux box, but don't have the time and/or the interest to spend hours in front of the IPTables manual just to setup a firewall that keeps the "bad" people out.
The firewall has the ability to save entire rulesets, so you only have to configure your ruleset one time, and then you can use it on several computers giving each of them a similar configuration (p.e. school networks, office, university, etc.). For a complete list of the features have a look at the Features section
Programs can't do any magic, so you still will have to know what your firewall should do to setup your ruleset. KMyFirewall just tries to help you as much as possible, but you decide what it will do.
Since the last stable release, the user interface has been expanded to enable easier and more flexible configuration for both advanced and novice users. Also NAT support has become far more accessible to setup.
