Unlike other lean iptables frontends in Debian, arno-iptables-firewall will setup and load a secure, restrictive firewall by just asking a few question. This includes configuring internal networks for internet access via NAT and potential network services (e.g. http or ssh).

However, it is in no way restricted to this simple setup. Some catch words of additional features, that can be enabled in the well documented configuration file are: DSL/ADSL, Port forwarding, DMZ's, portscan detection, MAC address filtering.
