Relatively recently I installed Ubuntu 14.04 on my home laptop. I want to set up a firewall in order to secure my machine.
How to do this and where / where what / how to write?

The easiest way is probably not to use iptables itself, but an add-on for iptables available in Ubuntu, namely ufw. You can read for example here:
help.ubuntu.ru/wiki/%D1%80%D1%83%D0%BA%D0%BE%D0%B2...
In general, Ubuntu is full of documentation, including in Russian, so it's worth using Google, and for sure there will be just such a case that you need. But then, if something specific is not clear, it already makes sense to ask a more specific question here.
