In their November 2007 issue, Linux Format Magazine compared several Firewall frontends:

• Guarddog

• KMyFirewall

• Shorewall

• FireHOL

• Firestarter

• Firewall Builder

In a photo finish, Shorewall was the overall winner over runner-up KMyFirewall!

Quoting from the article:

• "...the documentation is outstanding and very well written."

• "...outstanding range of features."
