Neither RaQ3 or RaQ4 come with a firewall.
Use ipchains and pmfirewall, a utility to help setup ipchains...

Use a working directory, I use /home/sites/home/users/admin, the normal place 
you end up at if you SSH in as admin

Ipchains is easy to install...
wget http://netfilter.samba.org/ipchains/ipchains-1.3.10.tar.gz
untar it 
tar -zxvf ipchains-1.3.10.tar.gz
cd ipchains-1.3.10
You should be able to simply type "make all", 
then su -    to roor
then "make install"; 
this will put the ipchains binary in /sbin/ipchains, and the
man pages in /usr/man/man4/ipfw.4 and /usr/man/man8/ipchains.8.

cd ..
wget http://www.pointman.org/PMFirewall/download/pmfirewall-1.1.4.tar.gz
untar it 
tar -zxvf pmfirewall-1.1.4.tar.gz
cd pmfirewall-1.1.4
Run "sh install.sh" and follow the prompts
Add you own rules to pmfirewall.rules.local
