basically the only firewall on linux is iptables (Kernel level firewall) (as far as I know)

you can use CSF or APF to simplify the usage of that tool. try to search this for tutorial on how to install/use it properly.

I would use iptables.

Install CSF.. it use iptables in the backend and makes it easy to manage. Installation is quite easy:

wget http://www.configserver.com/free/csf.tgz
tar -xzf csf.tgz
cd csf
sh install.sh

All the files will be stored under /etc/csf directory.
You will have a configuration file there with many different settings.
Execute only csf command to see various options to manage the firewall.

whatever firewall you will install CSF or Iptables , you will have to configure that firewall anyway as it would just install the basic rules. In order to make the server management easy I would suggest you to install Cpanel instead of Webmin.
