It doesn't mention which version(s) of Debian it applys to.
It doesn't provide links to versions that apply to previous or testing
versions
of Debian.
I also couldn't find a permalink on the page.
Oh and I couldn't get it to bridge from my wifi to the ethernet port.
Does anyone else out there wish there was an app that (graphically)
simulated
packet flow/filtering based on test configurations?
This page is definitely not noob-friendly, or is that a feature?
