M_R Posted September 28, 2011 Share Posted September 28, 2011 Hello everybody. I am currently looking for a Linux firewall that behaves just like Zone Alarm for Windows. I know about firestarter and mandriva's own interactive firewall, but what I need is something that immediately warns me of a program trying to connect to the internet so I can block it, for example. Do you know of any way to achieve this with Linux? [moved from Software by spinynorman] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coverup Posted September 30, 2011 Share Posted September 30, 2011 Could this be of any help? http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/mandriva-30/%5Bmdv2010-0%5D-interactive-firewall-never-ending-warnings-cant-contact-daemon-error-776383/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M_R Posted October 3, 2011 Author Share Posted October 3, 2011 No, No. I need something that behaves like Zone Alarm on Windows. That is to say I need a tool for preventing certain programs from accessing the internet and the network. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theYinYeti Posted October 5, 2011 Share Posted October 5, 2011 To be honest, I’ve never heard of such a program on Linux, although it should be possible to do… Good luck. I’d be interested in an answer too, even if I have no use for it myself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M_R Posted October 7, 2011 Author Share Posted October 7, 2011 Well, I have found two interesting things. But I do require your help because both apparent solutions are beyond my abilities: 1 - http://tuxguardian.sourceforge.net/index.php 2 - http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1188099 Solution 1 seems to be an easy-to-use program, but I didn't find it for Mandriva 2010, and I'm not sure if I can get the dependencies to install it by compiling since I use KDE4 and it requires QT3. Solution 2 is nice, it's not exactly what I expect (that would be solution 1), but I could make do with it if I just understood what it's about. Can somebody help me?

daniewicz Posted October 7, 2011 Share Posted October 7, 2011 I could try to walk you through option #2. Give me some specific questions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theYinYeti Posted October 7, 2011 Share Posted October 7, 2011 Note that qt3 is still available with Mandriva, as a good number of programs still rely on it. I have used Mnemosyne for example. Yves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theYinYeti Posted October 7, 2011 Share Posted October 7, 2011 I had a look at TuxGuardian. It seems to be a nice program, and it should be feasible to install it. So… as daniewicz said, “I could try to walk you through option #1. Give me some specific questions.†;-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

M_R Posted December 2, 2011 Author Share Posted December 2, 2011 (edited) I'm sorry for the incredibly late reply. I "lost" the Linux machine I wanted to try this on, but here I am again. Firewall3d, thank you for your suggestion too. I'll see which of these suits me better. Thank you everybody Update: I'm getting this error when I try to launc lpdflower via terminal: Traceback (most recent call last): File "<string>", line 14, in <module> File "/home/wwwwww/Downloads/pyinstaller-1.5.1/iu.py", line 436, in importHook File "/home/wwwwww/Downloads/pyinstaller-1.5.1/iu.py", line 495, in doimport File "/home/wwwwww/Downloads/pyinstaller-1.5.1/iu.py", line 297, in getmod File "/home/wwwwww/Downloads/pyinstaller-1.5.1/archive.py", line 468, in getmod File "/home/wwwwww/Downloads/pyinstaller-1.5.1/iu.py", line 109, in getmod ImportError: /home/an/tmp/_MEIwNZ6QB/libstdc++.so.6: undefined symbol: _ZNSt7num_getIcSt19istreambuf_iteratorIcSt11char_traitsIcEEE2idE, version GLIBCXX_3.4 Any Ideas?
