Firestarter manual ubuntu

This article is intended for users of Ubuntu Linux who want their Firestarter firewall's GUI to start automatically, upon login, without requiring any manual authentication. Before doing any of the steps in this article, make sure you have already done these steps.

Please note that any and every "firewall" in Ubuntu will be some kind of interface to the iptables. Some of these interfaces are graphical (like Firestarter), some not (like ufw), some are not graphical, but come with their own graphical interface. You will find more information on this page. Also, please consider the following. Whether you're creating rules for a stand-alone box or for a complex gateway, you don't have to wade through the manual rule sets any longer. Sit back, relax, and let Firestarter do the heavy lifting. Firestarter is not installed by default when Ubuntu Linux is first installed.
