# guarddog(1x)

firewall configuration utility for KDE

## NAME

guarddog - firewall configuration utility for KDE

## SYNOPSIS

**guarddog** \[*options*\]

## DESCRIPTION

This manual page documents briefly the **guarddog** command. This manual page was written for the Debian GNU/Linux distribution because the original program does not have a manual page. Instead, it has documentation in HTML format, in /usr/share/doc/guarddog.

**guarddog** is a firewall configuration utility for KDE. Guarddog is aimed at two groups of users: novice to intermediate users who are not experts in TCP/IP networking and security, and those users who don't want the hassle of dealing with cryptic shell scripts and ipchains parameters.

## OPTIONS

These programs follow the usual GNU command line syntax, with long options starting with two dashes (\`-'). A summary of options is included below.

- **-h, --help**

  Show summary of options.

- **-v, --version**
