The firewall extension for 3.x is called netfilter-.

Are they much important for a common user like me ?
Actually you had so buetifully explained all the minute details of firewall setup in one of my security thread - ''how much tinycore is secured..'' or something like that long ago.. I  am still using the same setup for my most of the online security needs...thanks to you and all other who guided me in that discusion.
by the way I heard that now a days real threats are more hidden in newly updated / developed packages rathar than firewall.. do`nt know much...

No, the changes shouldn't be important to common use.

Well I'm embarrassed to ask but better be safe then sorry , I downloaded iptables from the appbrowser and I have it set in onboot.lst but does netfilter have to be in onboot.lst  in order for the firewall to work ?

Also how do I check if the firewall is working ?

netfilter is a dependency of iptables. Do nothing, TC will take care.
