Through F-11 I ran Firestarter, it is not available for F-12 apparently.
The attractive thing with firestarter was the log it produced. When
I had a problem with an application I could look at the log and see
what the firewall was blocking. How can I do that with the firewall
provided with F-12. I have an application that doesn't work properly
with the firewall enabled but is good with it disabled. Obviously I
would like to know why.
Any help appreciated.
You'd need to add log rules yourself. How and where to add them depends
on your current firewall setup.
If you can test your failing application during a time when the network is quiet,
you can start by just looking at the counts to see where packets are being dropped.
For example, on my F12 desktop, I did the following as root. The first command
zeroes out the counters, the second was done a few seconds later:
# iptables -Z
