As noted in #6 (comment) there is an alternative project with similar goals. It seems that Douane has a bigger user base and a more modular design. I just tested it and it works similar to lpfw. Can you add a few sentence how lpfw is different to Douane and which should be preferred for which use case?

I found this thread which describes the differences and reasons of the two projects: Douane/douane-dkms#11

  • One advantage for Douane from a user perspective is probably that it allows custom Firewall scripts along with it as it does not remove/add any roles as far as I can tell.

I will consider referencing Doaune when they have tested enough to know that bug which crashed the kernel is gone. Douane/douane-dkms#3

Hello,
I am releasing a huge Linux Mint 17 book soon.
I will not be including Douane as it continuously locked up my laptop.
I just discovered Leopard Flower and it works perfectly.
I have added a last minute chapter on your software.
If I reach 100k people or more with my book your going to see a LOT of downloads of your software.
Thank you for writing this. I have been looking for just such an application firewall for a long time now.
The book will go up to Amazon in maybe a week or so.
The title is "Linux Mint 17 Full and Painless Migration for Anyone Written from the Perspective of a Microsoft User".

Just a note. Douane is a constant crasher. Stay away from it.
