The firwall used for this article is pretty good, and you can use it, since you can adjust it to your needs as it is well commented. It is ideal for your home network. Just copy it, chmod it and off you go. iptables is a command implemented in the 2.4.x kernel series, and is provided as a replacment for the old, and now rather obsolete 'ipchains' from the 2.2.x kernel. ptables basically represents a set of rules for making your own firewall, by seting your own, or by using pre-made rules. More information about the iptables command can be found by typing 'man ipchains' or by clicking here. The link for this article located at NetHelp Security is no longer available. .
