I would suggest you investigate a relatively simple firewall toolkit
like 'firehol' or 'shorewall', both of which are available in
Debian/stable.
They can provide a secure system without your needing to understand the
lowest level details of the iptables system, which is a good way to be
safer while you learn there.
