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)
