Please no, not Firestarter! It hasn't been maintained for a while, and
the better option is to install gUFW. It's also officially supported.
To do so, go to the Applications menu and open Add/Remove Programs.
Search (in the box in the top right corner) for "gufw" and select the
only search result. Press Apply Changes and wait for it to be installed.
Once that's done, start it by pressing Alt+F2, type in "gufw", press
Enter and enter your password. Configure your firewall from there.
There's even a few pre-configured templates for you.
