GUI firewall and router administration tool

[Serg B]

Firestarter is something along the lines of Zone Alarm. It is
definately not granular but non-the-less a great FW admin tool to use
on personal desktops.

If you want something advance (e.g. make various policies and deploy
them across the company) I strongly recommend Firewall Builder from
www.fwbuilder.org. If you have ever used Check Point the UI is (sort
of) like it only on lots and lots of steroids. This is basically an
enterprise grade tool with a VERY steep learning curve and enormous
functionality and control (yes it is open Source and installable via
apt).
