Dwall is a versatile firewall tool that generates a iptables firewall from a simple configuration. This software includes about 80 predefined services and has a simple 3-zone firewall example for ease of use. The system administrator only needs to define the different zones and specify what traffic is allowed from one zone to another.
The software is designed with several key features, such as splitting rule-sets into chains for traffic between different zones, allowing for human-readable firewall rules for a clear overview, and making name aliases for hosts or groups of hosts using /etc/hosts. Dwall also has mac address-based filtering using /etc/ethers and automatic logging for dropped connections.
Other features of Dwall include automatic backups of older rulesets for easy retrieval and a backward navigation feature for changes. It is designed to be used for setups with multiple system administrators who make changes. Additionally, the firewall code generated by this software is documented, making debugging a breeze.
Dwall can be used for host security, complex network security, and more. The latest release includes fixed problems with expand_alias for adst and error() to shift 2 arguments. Overall, Dwall is a powerful firewall solution for your organization's security needs.
