Just grab something like pfSense or any variant that will give you a GUI to do this wayyyyy more easily and with someone knowledgable configuring it and testing it.

You are waaaay overselling pfSense :) Seriously, I tried it, and sure it's easier than hacking at iptables. But not much.

pfSense gives you the shape of the problem and creates bounds. Being on your own in a text editor with google allows you to shoot yourself in the foot while stumbling in the dark.

Fair comparison, but still a really low bar. It's safer, but not really any easier.
