[»] IPChains

Thanks for a good, working firewall for Linux. The ease with which the program installs, along with the easy to understand documentation, provides us Linux users with security akin to Raptor and Checkpoint.

[»] IPChains is easier than IPFwAdm
by Chris Pimlott - Mar 25th 1999 03:51:25

I agree, I had a much easier time setting up firewalling under ipchains than ipfwadm. ipchains has some nice powerful options that are quite easier to configure in only a few commands... I found I needed fewer ipchains commands to do what I was doing with ipfwadm.
