Thanks for your responses guys. I'm in the process of emerging
firestarter right now. Hopefully this one works out

Still new when it comes to Gentoo and so I'm stuck when it comes to
picking a firewall to use. I know that most (if not all) of them just
use iptables to block/allow stuff but I like the simplicity of having it
do it automatically.
iptables is *the* firewall for linux.
Anyway, I've been using APF on CentOS which worked
great. Setting it up couldn't have been easier. Unfortunately it
doesn't seem to want to play nicely with Gentoo. So now I'm looking for
a new firewall. I tried Shorewall but it seems a little too complicated
to set up. Is there something as simple as APF that works with Gentoo?
I don't know what APF is.
But, if you want a GUI, try fwbuilder.
Or, emerge -S iptables, there are loads of others.
