I would like to secure my server and it seems that IPtables is one of the first steps.

Could you recommend any good graphical interfaces for managing my IPtables rules?

Firestarter has always worked well in my opinion. It supports a robust GUI and supports all options of iptables.


sudo apt-get install firestarter

For most purposes, ufw (Uncomplicated FireWall) is an excellent way to build simple iptables firewalls. The rules produced are decent, though there may be features of iptables that you need that ufw doesn't cover.
sudo apt-get install ufw
It's a command line tool, but there is also gufw if you want a GUI version.

IPTEditor is a gui for iptables (a little old but very useful)

I’m using Elastic Firewall …worked like a breeze so far!
Plus it works on multiple machines.
You can go with a free account with them or try one of the paid plans for enhanced power. either way, the thing does a pretty good job at very reasonable rates.
Unfortunately editing the rules in a terminal is a bit complicated and dangerous (those who ever did an iptables -F will know what I mean ;) )
I know what you mean, appending rules through the command line can be time consuming and prone to so many errors, so having a firewall manager to automate Linux iptables policies can save you a lot of time and nerves.
