+KMyFirewall attempts to make it easier to setup IPTables based firewalls on
+Linux systems. It will be the right tool if you like to have a so called
+"Personal Firewall" running on your Linux box, but don't have the time and/or
+the interest to spend hours in front of the IPTables manual just to setup a
+firewall that keeps the "bad" people out.
+
+The firewall has the ability to save entire rulesets, so you only have to
+configure your ruleset one time, and then you can use it on several computers
+ giving each of them a similar configuration (p.e. school networks, office,
+university, etc.).
+
+Programs can't do any magic, so you still will have to know what your firewall
+should do to setup your ruleset. KMyFirewall just tries to help you as much as
+possible, but you decide what it will do.
+
+Since the last stable release, the user interface has been expanded to enable
+easier and more flexible configuration for both advanced and novice users.
+Also, NAT support has become far more accessible to setup.
