Firewall (iptables)
iptables give you flexibility in protecting your services (firewall feature), powerful routing features (network address translation, or NAT), manipulating packets (packet mangling), and most useful is the connection tracking feature. At the packet filtering (firewall) level, you can control which services may be accessed, and how they may be accessed. At the NAT level, you can use the packet filtering feature, process the packets, and send them to a specific host on your network, service on the same box, or simply drop the request at the doorstep.
