Summary
Kraal-GTK is a graphical configuration frontend to Kraal. It is planned as stand-alone application, so you do not need to install i.e. gnome-system-tools including all its dependencies. Kubuntu useres are able to install gtk2-engines-gtk-qt to make Kraal-GTK almost look like an Qt application.
Design
Is consists of two modes, one for simple tasks and an advanced mode. Switching between these modes is possible by using a two-state button.
Supported in default mode are:
- Select which ports should be opened for incoming connections
- Add user defined rules
- Configure masquerading
Supported in advanced mode are:
- Select which ports should be opened for incoming and outgoing connections
- Create some complex packet-filter rules (as described in the section "services")
- Add user defined rules
- Configure different interfaces
- Configure masquerading
- Configure forwarding
- Configure logging
- Configure which icmp-packet is used when rejecting a connection
- Select whether invalid packets should be dropped (deactivated by default, since it breaks i.e. existing incoming ssh-connections when the firewall is restarted)
