Firewall Zone Switcher consist of a DBus service and a system tray applet that lets the user switch firewall zones of network interfaces. So you got that shiny new Netbook, installed Linux on it and carry it along everywhere you go. The default enabled Firewall blocks incoming traffic so you feel safe when connecting to that anonymous WiFi network at your favorite fastfood restaurant. Unfortunately the very same Firewall becomes quite annoying at home where it prevents your system from discovering printers or blocks ssh. So you have the choice of either opening the ports permanently or having to use sudo to enable or disable the Firewall. Well, not anymore with Firewall Zone Switcher! With that little applet you can now switch the zone of your network interface to 'internal' with only two mouse clicks when you are at home. In an untrusted Network you just set the zone to 'external'. And if you need some custom configuration you could set the zone 'dmz' to have some open some ports or create a custom zone. Firewall Zone Switcher is *not* meant to be some kind of 'Personal Firewall' that confuses the user with all kinds of low level stuff. It's neither a Firewall configuration tool. That job is still left to Admin tools like YaST. Firewall Zone Switcher settings are temporary and are reset to the system defaults on reboot.
