+# firewallsetup
+## Fast Firewall Setup
+
+This is a script for setting up a firewall with settings for tarpitting ssh and basic protections that everyone needs.
+
+## Download the rules to /etc/
+```
+git clone https://github.com/ChrisTitusTech/firewallsetup.git
+````
+## Make the Rules Permenant
+### Debian-based Distributions
+```
+sudo apt install iptables-persistent
+sudo /etc/init.d/netfilter-persistent save
+```
+### Arch Linux Distributions
+*Use iptable-save which is pre-installed*
+```
+sudo iptables-save > /etc/iptables/iptables.rules
+```
+### RHEL / CentOS Distributions
+*This is by far the simpliest way to save rules and check them # chkconfig --list | grep iptables*
+
+*Note: chkconfig iptables on only needs to be run once to turn the service on*
+```
+sudo chkconfig iptables on
+sudo service iptables save
+```
