Put your /home/ directory on a separate partition than your OS (Trisquel) or download it to a flash drive so that you can reinstall Trisquel with a firewall without having to connect to the internet. You can see what ports are open on your computer by entering netstat -nap. The port for SSH should close when you stop sshd, but you can use netstat to make sure. Iptables should be included with Trisquel, so that is strange. I would recommend GUFW over Firestarter, as Firestarter is no longer developed last time I looked into it.
