There are a few things you may want to look up when configuring a 
firewall, such as iptables, ufw (uncomplicated *Firewall*) and 
firestarter (GUI firewall). There has been a lot of buzz about ufw 
although not a graphical application, building rules is simpler:

iptables
iptables -A INPUT -p http  -j ACCEPT

ufw
ufw allow http

To read up on ufw go to:
