Hi,
I wanted to know what firewall I can use in archlinux.
Thanks

You should take a look at iptables. You can find more details here: http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Firewalls

Thanks

There's a firewall included in the kernel called iptables [1]. Iptables
might be a little overwhelming in usage but many usable front-ends exist
to configure iptables [2]. I recommend ufw [3]. Ufw is available in the
community repository.

p.s. This kind of information can easily be found on the arch wiki. Be
sure to check it once in a while.
