FireStarter FireStarter - is for Linux what ZoneAlarm is for Windows, a simple to use but fully functional firewall for small business and homes for free.是为Linux什么的ZoneAlarm是针对Windows ，一个简单的使用，但功能齐全的防火墙为小型企业和家庭免费的。 The simplicity of firewall even surpasses ZoneAlarm, even a novice can set it up properly with very minimum knowledge.简单的防火墙，甚至超越了ZoneAlarm ，即使是新手可以设定了非常妥善的最低知识。

To understand Firestarter or any other Firewall let’s take a look a very common scenario for small business.了解FireStarter -或任何其他防火墙，下面我们来看一看一个很常见的情况是为小型企业。 We need to provide internet access to all computers in the network and yet we want them all to be protected from outside access.我们需要提供互联网接入的所有计算机网络，但我们希望他们都受到保护，免遭外界访问。 The best access is transparent where the user behind firewall doesn’t feel the presence of firewall when he accesses the internet.最好的访问是透明的当用户在防火墙后面感到身体不适，在场的防火墙时，他访问互联网。 However external access must be blocked except where specifically allowed.但外部访问必须被封锁，除非明确允许。 FireStarter shines in such setup. FireStarter -闪耀在这样的格局。 You can setup this configuration in less than 5 minutes.您可以安装此配置在不到5分钟。 And the best part of all is that the client machines need nothing more than a simple configuration during setup wherein you specify that the IP address etc. information will be provided by DHCP, most likely it is already the default for your linux distribution.和最好的部分或全部的是，客户端的机器需要的只是一个简单的配置在安装过程中，其中您指定的IP地址等信息将提供由DHCP ，则最有可能是已经默认为您的Linux发行。

The network can be configured both for DHCP or static IP address assignment.该网络可以配置为DHCP或静态IP地址分配。 In case of DHCP, as mentioned before, that’s all you need to specify in client machines.在案件的DHCP ，正如以前所说，这是所有您需要指定在客户端机器。 In internet machine you need to just check a checkbox in FireStarter configuration.在Internet的机器，您需要只要勾选复选框在FireStarter -配置。 For static IP assignment you need to provide both the IP address (which is what you want) as well as the gateway (internet machine) and your dns server.对于静态分配IP地址的，您需要提供双方的IP地址（这是你想要的） ，以及作为通往（互联网机）和您的DNS伺服器。

You can bring up the user interface to find the connections it is blocking realtime or for configuring the firewall.您可以造就的用户界面，找到连接，这是阻碍实时或配置防火墙。 Personally I recommend using the UI sparingly and not keeping it up always as it consumes too much cpu in my experience.我个人建议使用的UI节制，而不是保持它始终是作为消耗太多的CPU在我的经验。 However the actual firewall functions fine and with negligible cpu load.但实际防火墙功能，罚款及与微不足道的CPU负载。 The only thing I couldn’t do is to selectively allow ICMP ping from within intranet to the firewall machine but disallow pings from outside.我唯一不能做的，是有选择性地允许ICMP的平从内部联网，防火墙的机器，但不允许坪以外。

FireStarter starts as a daemon which provides not only firewall protection but gateway access too. FireStarter -开始作为一个守护进程，这不仅提供防火墙保护，但网关访问过。 You can optionally block ICMP traffic too.您可以选择座ICMP流量太大。
