Either the application requires special hardware features or the vendor decided to not support your computer type.”

To be started up automatically add THIS to the startup list:
gksu /usr/sbin/firestarter
You can have problems if you use sudo with GUI.

The Geek,

You are making an error here, firestarter is just a gui.

it’s the front end for iptables.

Good program.
Easy to use, userfirendly features.

You can look inside the events tab and see if you want to add or block the connection using just the right-click on the mouse.

very easy.
