Networking Utilities

Guarddog Firewall

A firewall protects a computer system from unauthorized access. It is not normally necessary to install a firewall on a Kubuntu system, because by default, access to the system is closed. However, if you run any services which you allow other computers to access (for example, the Apache web server), it is advisable to install a firewall. Guarddog is a program which allows you to control Linux's firewall through a graphical interface.

  1. Install the Guarddog package from the Universe repository (see অনুচ্ছেদ “Managing Repositories”).

  2. After it is installed, run the Guarddog by choosing K-Menu->System->Guarddog

  3. Enter your password in the Run as root -KDE su dialog box which pops up.

  4. Click the Help in the Firewall Configuration window for details on using Guarddog.
