NARC is a free firewalling package for Netfilter/Iptables. It attempts to simplify the setup of a firewall (stateful packet filter) via the iptables tools. NARC is a bash shellscript that generates sensible and secure rules for Netfilter based on a simple configuration file.

Think of Netfilter as the kernel space, and Iptables as the userspace.
