1) Guarddog has not had a new release in over 4 years.
2) The last release of Guarddog was based on the obsolete QT3/KDE3.
2) Debian unstable no longer provides Guarddog.
Please draw your own conclusions in terms of what you consider "best".
As an alternative you may wish to consider gufw.
Description: graphical user interface for ufw
gufw is an easy and intuitive way to manage your Linux firewall.
It supports common tasks such as allowing or blocking pre-configured,
common p2p, or individual port(s), and many others!
