Gtk-IPTables is C-based software that utilizes a GTK interface as a frontend for iptables.
If you're a linux user, you've likely worked with iptables to create rules and manage your system's firewall. But if you find the command-line interface intimidating, Gtk-IPTables could be a helpful solution. This GTK-based frontend simplifies the process of creating rules for all chains for Filter, NAT, and Mangle tables.
To get started with the program, check out the INSTALL file for installation instructions. Once it's installed, just type "gtkiptables" to run it. Keep in mind that compiling the program requires Gtk-dev, which contains the headers files and static libraries. You'll also need the Gtk set of widgets, which comes pre-installed with most linux distributions. Both should be version 1.2.10.
Overall, Gtk-IPTables is a useful tool for users who prefer a graphical interface for managing their firewall rules. Just make sure you have the necessary packages installed before attempting to compile or run the program.
