In [[Basic Fedora Linux Firewall Configuration]] we looked at how the ''Security Level Configuration'' tool provides a very basic and high level mechanism for configuring the underlying iptable firewall rules on Fedora Linux. In this chapter we will look at a more advanced and flexible firewall configuration tool called ''Firestarter''. As we will see, Firestarter provides a greater level of control over both inbound and outbound network traffic and connections.
