>2017 >no interactive firewall software for linux why are

>>61563173
What do you mean by interactive?

>>61563248
Buzzwords used by /v/ manchildren to rationalize.

>>61563248
you update your rules when new apps try to access internet

>>61563173
Are you fucking dumb? In the linux world you use IP-tables. If it ain't broke, don't fix it. Now neck yourself.

>>61564280
>apps

>>61564303
>he can't write a gui with decent interactive policy
>think he can criticize other people for using reddit words
TOP KEK

Why would you need a firewall at all just use NAT.

I imagine there's graphical front ends for iptables out there, but I'm not familiar with them.

>>61563173
>>61564293
And you will probably need a GUI, which also exists.
Why are you even using Linux if you feel the need to ask such a question in this retarded way?

>>61563173
For you, a simple GUFW is ok.

>>61564382
Yes, its UFW

>>61563173
The current trend on Linux for preventing unwanted outbound connections either a whitelist using iptables containerization/netns to prevent programs from even seeing the network device.
But yeah, getting visibility on what networking is going on has always been a little unwieldy.

>>61564425
*iptables OR containerization

>>61564412
I thought that was it's own thing, but ur prolly right.

It's shit. Everyone knows it

Not an argument.

The idea is:
>program asks for internet
>you can block in 1 second using deny rule policy
>this is a bad thing
I bet you are one of those Arch retards

Literally the most computer illiterate thing to do

If your running from a LiveUSB and trying to access your hard drive then its giving a permissions issue, because you need to be root to access a drive like that
Try learning even the slightest bit about a system before saying its shit, you complete inbred

God you kids are fucking harsh these days. Susan G was right!

Will never, ever be on Linux because it's too easy. Remember, Linux is a secret club, not a free Windows clone.

>>61564526
Oh fuck off back to /pol/ you argumentative juvenile

You don't need a firewall for incoming connections on a desktop PC that is behind a router.
You don't need a firewall for outgoing connections unless you're running shady proprietary software or have viruses.
Why do you need a firewall OP?

>You don't need a firewall for incoming connections on a desktop PC that is behind a router.

>>61564556
Hahahaha
I can open any other type of file be it a pic a doc or whatever but I need root privileges to play a fucking mp3 I just downloaded with transmission on a drive it had no issues of writing on.
Hahahahahahah

Nice goalpost moving
A GUI for firewalls exists on Linux, so you're wrong
Now delete this shitty thread

Even pajeets can write interactive policy gui for windows

>>61564748
Desktop users don't need firewalls.

You never, ever, tried a good interactive firewall have you

>>61564814
None of those things require a firewall.

>>61564893
>not wanting to know everytime i.4cdn.org requests a new connection
You are literally trolling

>>61564504
You don't even really need gufw because the orginal ufw is already pretty easy.

>>61564954
Use umatrix

>>61564984
blocking attempted ip connection is way better than simply relying on outdated plugin

>>61564954
Not only do I totally not give a shit about that, I pipe all of my dns requests through googles https proxy and regularly run non-free javascript.

>Not only do I totally not give a shit about that
oh that's a nice way to change the subject
>y-you don't need it

>>61565107
I didn't change the subject you just said something stupid instead of refuting my point that none of those things require a firewall because you are comparatively computer illiterate and have your autistic dick stuck in some network rule privacy rabbithole.

>>61565126
>being this bad because you couldn't simply shut up 2 comments ago
