Simple IPTABLES is a basic firewall created using essential iptables commands to offer minimum protection to the system.
If you're looking for a basic firewall, Simple IPTABLES might be just the tool for you. This software was built using basic iptables commands and is intended to serve as a general guideline. It's important to note that any firewall should be tailored to the specific services offered by the host and what the administrator allows local users to use.
Currently, Simple IPTABLES only permits ident (port 113) requests. Additionally, FTP will only function in PASV mode from the client side, while IRC DCC sends and chats initiated behind the firewall are blocked. However, incoming DCC requests will work.

ICQ may also not work properly with this firewall, although you can still send messages. This is a standalone script that assumes kernel support and modules. All in all, Simple IPTABLES is a straightforward and effective option for those who need a simple firewall.
