Is there a software, or a linux distro which has such a software built-in, which makes configuring the iptables easier? If not, I thought that some of the mostly used configuarations with a simple GUI can make it easier but I couldn't find any. Do you think it's a need? If there is, how can I find it?

There are some options:
- Uncomplicated Firewall(ufw). This is the option that comes with ubuntu, and its focus is made firewall rules easy
- Shorewall. Focused on servers and network routers/gateways/firewall, working with zones.
- Vuurmuur. Focused on easy to use, build with a ncurses interface, similar with the
iptraftool. - Firewall Builder. GUI firewall, with a focus of "easy to use" too.
- Webmin. A more "generic" kind of control panel to Linux, that have a firewall rules manager.
