This software, called Preference Pane for Leopard, restores control over the old packet-based firewall from Tiger. It is designed for Leopard and provides users with a user-friendly interface.
Are you looking for a reliable way to control the ipfw(8) firewall? Look no further than ipfw Preference Pane (ipfwPane). This powerful software solution lets you take control of the packet-based firewall again, even in the latest version of Mac OS X.
When Leopard was introduced, Apple rolled out a new application firewall. While this has its benefits, users found that they were no longer able to access the packet-based firewall that came from FreeBSD. Unfortunately, this meant that there was no user interface available for it either, as there was in previous versions of the operating system.
This is where ipfwPane comes in. By installing this software, you will gain a simple, user-friendly interface that is similar to the Sharing preference pane seen in the days of Tiger. This delivers a more fine-grained level of control over which ports are allowed and which are blocked. In addition, ipfwPane offers the ability to block built-in applications and services, which cannot be done with Leopard's application firewall.
It is important to note that ipfwPane is licensed and provided under the terms of the 2-clause BSD license. This ensures that you have the legal right to use and modify the software as you see fit. With ipfwPane, you can once again take complete control of your system's firewall, delivering increased protection and peace of mind.
