A $300 PC with KRUD installed makes a great firewall.  I use it from
home that way.  However, it doesn't have (that I know of) a graphical
configuration tool for the firewall except during installation.  It
might have one to modify the firewall while its running, I just don't
know about it.  I configure everything manually using ipchains.

If you can comprehend managing the ipchains you can do it yourself.

I just did a quick Google for "Linux Firewall" and found this site that
might help you:

Looks like there might be something you could use called "fwbuilder",
which has a GUI to manage your configuration.

Hope that helps a little.
