Which of them can select, filter, access, deny traffic for processor program name as in windows I so confusing for IP address. Please help if you can, I was using zone alarm or Tini wall in windows is so easy. Why there is not some similar in Linux?

Hi,

Great article, thanks for posting. It might also be worth checking out Linewize, we’ve built an open source cloud managed layer 7 firewall which is free to use.

We provide complete visibility over internet use on a per user, device and application basis through our subscription services, all the firewall and filtering goodness is free for anyone to use.

If you’re keen to have a look the install instructions are here linewize.com/install. Keen to know what you think.

Cheers Scott.

There is only one firewall for Linux: Netfilter, other one is either a frontends for it or iptables.
