    Anyone know of a good alternative for apf (http://www.rfxnetworks.com/apf.php)that will work on a debian distro. It is important that you can block ip's e.t.c. via the command lines or something similar.

    Thx

    Since no-one seems to know about any alternativs I'll post one myself.

    I ended up using Shorewall (http://www.shorewall.net/) which seems to be pretty good.

    I use iptables on debian for traffic filtering right now. It has a webmin interface which is nice. I see shorewall in webmin too and will be looking into that soon, it looks more complex than iptables.
