so, i really like firehol: both the philosophy behind it and the implementation, which seems to work pretty well. i've used it to protect individual hosts for years, and recently made some changes to let it create the firewall script for my openwrt router, without needing to actually run on the openwrt box. but i also like my firewall maintenance tools to be currently maintained. :-/ :-) that doesn't seem to be happening -- the last release was almost three years ago. are there any other tools similar to firehol i should be aware of? i've used fwbuilder in the past, and while it works well, and is clearly supported, i always feel like it's way more sophisticated than i need, and i usually forget how to use its UI in between usages. my requirements aren't too special, though i do need support for multiple interfaces -- i have different filtering rules for traffic going between wan <-> lan, wan <-> wlan, and lan <-> wlan. and i'm starting to think about ipv6, but have no concrete need for that yet. is firehol still the right answer for simple firewall creation? paul =--------------------- paul fox, [email protected] (arlington, ma, where it's 49.1 degrees) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ EditLive Enterprise is the world's most technically advanced content authoring tool.
