Hello. I’ve downloaded and played with a few firewalls like
fwbuilder and firestarter. It seems
like these firewalls and all the others I’ve found keep their own ruleset
in a data store and then use that ruleset to create iptables commands, and then
blow away whatever rules are in netfilter already and load the ruleset they
create. Are there any firewalls that read the netfilter rules using
iptables and don’t have any intermediate storage of their own rules. I’d like a firewall that was aware
of any changes made to netfilter rules if a program external to it issued an
iptables command to change the rules, and then allowed you to manage that. Thanks for your help. |
