Yes, firestarter is pretty slick for a simple firewall. I use it on my
laptop, where I never know if I'm connecting via eithernet, wireless, etc.
and its GUI makes doing quick changes easy.
For those needing a more serious firewall (ideal for home servers, which is
what it was designed for), I'd recommend gShield
<http://muse.linuxmafia.org/gshield/>.
gShield doesn't have a GUI, but instead you configure it with a normal (and
well-documented!) text config file. gShield does NATing, transparent
proxying, has easy configs for all the popular protocols/services, can do a
full DMZ and/or port forwarding, and more. Very slick implementation.
