..some things warrant a little more wisdom than what you demonstrated
here, e.g. Holocaust, war crimes, public safety, and privacy in less
than democratic places, and computer security is a serious matter for
e.g. whistle blowers, and we are not quite where we need to be on this.

..suggest a safe newbie-proof Tor and firewall default setup, under
the label "If you don't know what Tor or firewall is, or how to set
these up safely, click here to use our safe newbie-proof Tor and
firewall default setup." on our installers etc, e.g. with shorewall.

..conceptually, shorewall is about as easy to learn and understand
as the good old http://ipcop.sourceforge.net/ : ...
https://www.wikihow.com/Configure-IPCop-as-a-Firewall

...and far more powerful, and remains alive and under
active development at: http://www.shorewall.net/
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shorewall
http://www.shorewall.net/Introduction.html
http://www.shorewall.net/shorewall_features.htm

..at a minimum, we want: http://www.shorewall.net/Laptop.html
and _never_ the http://www.shorewall.net/FoolsFirewall.html .
