By default it blocks everything and you just open what you want. And the scripting language that builds the firewall rules is about the easiest to understand of anything I've ever seen. It's available at http://firehol.sourceforge.net, and some distros also have packages prebuilt for it. The homepage gives you lots of examples of usage for different configurations.
