I was wondering if IPTables defeat http tunnelling out of the box (after installing 
Linux 2.4) or must they be configured first?

I installed Linux for the 1st time last week (SuSE 7.3) and don't understand if the 
SuSE Personal Firewall (rejects TCP unasked for TCP connections from outside?) 
eliminates the need for a hardware firewall in front of it? I'm not running a server 
of any kind, I don't need to log in remotely or anything like that. If I get an old 
486 and run a firewall from a boot floppy/RAMdisk would I get any more protection?  

I've been searching the net about this but information about IPTables is  rare, most 
people talk about ipchains instead.
