Firewall and Antivirus?
hi
back again for helps. can someone recommend a good firewall for linux mint? would also (if firewall doesn't) like something to check my net traffic for what programs are running and how much bandwidth each is using as well? am considering my connect may be hijacked recently and want to see what is running to detect anything hinky. also a good antivirus? thanks...and I assume there are commands being used for them. so commands if possible, or I can find them later. thanks bunches maybe this should go into another section? sorry if yes and please move it to the proper one? thanks |

This thread has a lot of suggestions for network monitoring https://askubuntu.com/questions/2572...n-the-terminal
Nethogs looks like it might meet your needs. |
that's great peoples. got uncomplicated firewall and nethogs and tcptrack and iftop. will have to use it some but the displays look good.
thanks for the links and recommends also got ClamAV antivirus, but I did read that virii are rare in linux. my main concern is someone hijacking my connection. some recent happening gave rise to that, but I think the problem was not hijacking my connection, but line or modem problems. those recoms sound like I can monitor what is connecting if I get slow downs just to make sure guess questions were answered and will do the click so thanks again...and have a great summer |
Glad we could help!

one thing you could try is opensnitch https://github.com/evilsocket/opensnitch https://github.com/evilsocket/opensnitch/wiki
it is looking promising, i have been playing with it for a day or so. |
thanks for that opensnitch link. will check it out. I'm a little new to linux and not very adept at commands and understanding too...lol
will take a look at it later. for now the ones I have sound simple enough for me to do. :) thanks...appreciate the info |
