Why FirewallFabrik?

FirewallFabrik is the modern successor to Firewall Builder and simplifies policy management for iptables and nftables. FirewallFabrik provides a professional user interface, simplifying management tasks.

With FirewallFabrik, you can efficiently and accurately manage your firewall's security policies without the learning curve normally associated with command line interfaces. Instead of thinking in terms of commands and parameters, you simply create a set of objects that describe your firewall, servers, and subnets. Then you implement your firewall policy by dragging objects into policy rules. You can also choose from a large collection of predefined objects that include many standard protocols and services. Once a policy is created in the GUI, you can compile it and install it on one or more hosts.

Prerequisites

Network and protocol knowledge (TCP, UDP, ICMP) is helpful, minimal basic Linux knowledge (SSH, execute command) is a plus.
