Is KMyFirewall a Firewall Application similar to “Zone Alarm” or “Norton Internet Security”?
No. The main difference between KMyFirewall and tools from the Microsoft world is that KMyFirewall just generates a iptables scripts and installs it into the boot scripts. The configuration generated is static, which means that the ruleset does not change once generated, and you won’t get messages like “Hey, Host: EvilGuy tried to connect to your computer. Should EvilGuy be banned permanently?.”. But that does not mean the firewall configured by KMyFirewall is less secure. In fact, static configurations are often preferred to firewalls that are reacting to specific events (e.g. blocking a host that made a portscan) because they are much easier to maintain and to debug.
