== Running the gnome-lokkit Firewall Tool ==
As previously discussed, the lokkit tool is also available in a graphical form via ''gnome-lokkit''. As with the text based ''lokkit'' tool, ''gnome-lokkit'' is launched from a terminal window command prompt:
<pre>
sudo gnome-lokkit
</pre>
The ''gnome-lokkit'' tool takes a wizard based approach to firewall configuration. In other words, it presents the user with a series of questions in order to decide how to configure the Ubuntu firewall. To configure the firewall using this tool simply select the level of security (High, Medium or Low) and answer the subsequent sequence of questions. Once all the questions have been answered, the firewall will be configured accordingly.
