in my Morizot fw script in /etc/rc.d:
$IPT -P FORWARD DROrouter onP
should be:
$IPT -P FORWARD DROP
the error is not in the fw i actually use (a Morizot script in my-applications/bin)
i don't know if the error is in the Puppy iso, or if it's just on my machine
if it's on the Puppy iso, it probably should be fixed
though it doesn't change the functioning of the firewall (FORWARDING is still set to DROP)
Morizot firewall typo
a simple standalone firewall is probably adequate for most Puppys ... it shouldn't slow down your internet connection
a firewall does need configuring though
for example, the net interface using ethernet cards is usually eth0 (it might be eth1) ... the net interface for dialup and pppoe is ppp0 (or maybe ppp1)
you might have a static or a dynamic address
you might have internet sharing set up ... or not
the Morizot script could be modified to automatically detect if your interface is eth0 or ppp0 ... but if it didn't work perfectly, your internet access would be blocked
some programs need ports to be opened (servers, ssh, p2p apps like bit torrent)
Puppy should be fairly safe without a firewall anyway
here's an automatic firewall script ... it requires iproute though:

Re: Morizot firewall typo
I don't know how that is occurring. The bug isn't in the Morizot files in Unleashed.GuestToo wrote:in my Morizot fw script in /etc/rc.d:
