pyroman | Very fast firewall configuration tool | Mehr ... |
Pyroman is a firewall tool written in Python for complex networks, but it can of course also handle simple single-host-single-link setups. . Interesting features: * Fast, due to use of iptables-restore for mass setting of rules * Rollback to previous firewall configuration on errors * Safety options to prevent mistakes in configuration (success confirmation prompt and/or scripted external verification) * Detailed error reporting * Lots of verification checks done before execution * Powerful yet clean configuration files (in Python and/or XML) * Designed for multiple hosts, firewalls, networks . Pyroman is inspired by Shorewall and FireHOL, but tries to improve upon them with respect to performance and ease of configuration. . Pyroman currently only configures IPv4 iptables/netfilter firewalls, it does not include configuration utilities for setting up VPN or traffic shaping, nor does this version include support for IPv6 yet. |
