    Cool Firestarter "allow all inbound traffic" policy

    Hi there, I've installed 8.10 amd64 version recently and I'm using the iptables GUI interface (firestarter) to share my internet through a wired connection.

    Ok, everything was nice, shiny and happy...

    The problem is that I run some servers with random ports and firestarter doesn't have an "allow all" policy for the inbound traffic, I can only specify some IP's, but I can't make a rule for every IP that connects to my servers and I can't make a rule to allow a specific port, because I use them randomly.

    Is there a way to make firestarter ONLY share the internet?
    (w/out blocking the incoming traffic from all the ports)

    something like an allow rule with this IP "*.*.*.*" to allow all, or whatever...

    thanks in advance.

    I know this thread is old, but somebody might find this useful -- you need to make a rule for "Allow connections for host" using CIDR notation for any IP address:
    0.0.0.0/0

    Old, but still valid. My provider is down, I had to improvise using one of those USB 3G dongles, and only a Debian Squeeze wanted to detect it, so I had to install Firestarter to share conection. Then VoIP phone could not get through to provider server.

    So doublehelixer solution came through for me.
