The best form of iptables implementation (IMHO) is through shorewall.

Shorewall provides an abstract layer for IPTABLES, gives a professional look and feel.

Moreover configuring shorewall is real simple when you use the webmin module of shorewall.

You will get started with few minutes, without having to even know one line of iptables.

Hi Dheerendar,

              How are you doing??
For configuring a firewall in Linux Machine, "iptables" is the best
option. Iptables restrict the flow of incoming and outgoing packets on
the base of policies you make. The policies are considered from top to
bottom.

For making policies using iptables, man iptables is the best resource
but you can also refer to http://www.faqs.org/docs/iptables/

Please don't forget to issue iptables-save command in the end and
restarting the iptables daemon.

Do let me know if you face any problem in doing that.

Warm Regards,

Gurpreet Singh Sachdeva
