firewall doc question

[Ryan Giobbi]

This page http://doc.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/keeping-safe/C/firewall.html
recommends that users install the Firestarter firewall.

 I think there are a few problems with this:
- The Firestarter iptables configuration tool does not create
ip6tables rules, which could cause problems if the user has installed
Miredo.
- The Firestarted UI is not designed for systems with multiple
Internet adapters (laptops with wired and wireless connections).


Should it be re-written (I'll volunteer if so) to recommend the Ubuntu
UFW tool (https://launchpad.net/ufw/)?

Another (perhaps better) option would be to present a list of firewall
configuration tools, explaining limitations/features. I don't know if
that would make the document too bloated though.
