Background:
I used to use my linux pc as an ICS host
but that was set up with a wizard.
Currently I use a lame D-Link DI-701 Router to acheive the same results

Now, i'm lookin for a gui application that allows me wizard/simple/advanced setup methods for turning my linux box into a router, with a full port forwarding packet filtering setup inclided..

Does this exist? and is it Free?

Sure it does. gShield: http://muse.linuxmafia.org It's easy enough to configure, no official GUI though, but there is a GUI front end. You just basically edit a text file by saying YES or NO or OPEN or DENY, and so on. Then you run it and it provides packet filtering using either ipchains or iptables and NAT.

The current version of gShield uses iptables. You'll want to download one of the archived versions if you're using 2.2.x kernel which uses ipchains.
