Interface and basic usage
The main components of the Firestarter interface are:
- The firewall wizard
The wizard guides you through configuring the application
the first time you run Firestarter.
- The status page
This page in the main interface gives you a quick overview of the state
of the firewall as well as allowing you start and shut it down.
- The events page
The second page in the main interface, the events page contains the
intrusion attempt history of the firewall.
- The policy page
The final page in the main interface, the policy page is where you
review your access policy. The policy alone determines what is allowed through the firewall.
- The preferences
The program preferences control many aspects of the interface, as
well as giving you the option to enable some additional filtering functions of the firewall.
