Hey what would be the best Firewall for an ubuntu server, that wouldn't stop my programs for running such as FTP, Apache, Ventrilo (Voice Communications software), SSH. I run everything in command Terminal not in a GUI. -Mattc908
FireWall for Server
Archived thread 695825 from Security Discussions. Markdown source: Security_Discussions/thread_695825_FireWall_for_Server.md
Iptables is your firewall by default on ubuntu. If you wish to configure it, install Firestarter :)
BUt firestarter will run in command form and not in a GUI correct?
Firestarter is GUI. But I got it to work on my server by ssh'ing into it and then running Firestarter.

No. Firestarter is a GUI interface for IP-tables. If you have a server you do not want firestarter. You'll just have to configure IP-tables the old fashioned way.
An option might or use some other firewall, such as shorewall, and then use webmin to configure it remotely using a GUI interface.
What is webmin? I SSH'd into it and installed firestarted.... Now how would I set it up through SSH?
