you need to make sure you have enabled universe and multiverse repositories in /etc/apt/sources.list file and then update the source list file using the following command

sudo apt-get update

and install firestarter

sudo apt-get install firestarter

The line:

sudo apt-get install firestarter

does this:

but thanks anyway.

Thanks a lot for in depth tutorial along with the screen shots. I was bit hesitant about using a GUI tool for iptables/Firewall…. but looking at you post and following it really helped… and after using it for week now I’m fully convinced

Keep up the good work.
