I'll post with the caveat that I don't actually use Trisquel (although I do
use Debian so pitchforks and torches down please).
The Trisquel kernel will have firewall capabilities, configurable through a
program called iptables.
How familiar are you with GNU/Linux in general?
If you're
Actually, ufw isn't a graphical tool. It's a command line frontend to
iptables. If you want a graphical tool, you probably want something like gufw
(all are available in Trisquel repos)
My bad, I'm clearly not the one to ask when it comes to graphical tools :P.
I did wonder about that, hope this works.
Trisquel (and Debian, which I use) don't come with a firewall controller
installed by default. The reasons why have been debated here many times
before, so don't hope for that to change anytime soon.
What I do is, I have all the Debian CDs and so I install the first one, and
before I connect
There is a SSH server installed by default, you might want to get rid of that
if you don't have use for it.
Besides that you can forget about a firewall really.
NoScript is a very good idea.
In new installs from the 6.0.1 iso, ssh is disabled, which disabling Ruben
did a week or so before the release of 6.0.1. Upgrades to 6.0.1 from
installed 6.0 in which the ssh was enabled do not accomplish ssh disabling.

I wouldn't use the broken packages.trisquel.info for now.
I cant see any firewall, am I missing something or do I need install this via
the Terminal?
Thankyou.
Simple...for the same reason one should not run closed-source software or
install precompiled software from PPAs: Security... :)
Hi there,
a good starting point might be the wiki entry over at Ubuntu for the
uncomplicated firewall:
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UFW
IIRC Trisquel does not have UFW (or anything else) installed per default as
firewall.
HTH,

@lembas: Why on Earth would one not need to use a firewall ?
Because one can always trust open-source programms ?
@Legimet: AppArmor is not exactly what I would consider the right security
tool for a novice user. Or would you ?
