Nuface

If you're looking for a powerful administration tool for web-based firewalls, you might want to give Nuface a try. This tool is designed to generate firewall rules for Edenwall, NuFW, or Netfilter, using a high-level abstraction on the security policy. Working internally on an XML data scheme, Nuface allows you to agglomerate subjects, resources, or protocols into meta-objects, simplifying the generation of access control lists (ACLs).

What sets Nuface apart from other firewall administration tools is its ability to support a variety of firewall implementations beyond Netfilter. Moreover, the latest release adds several new features that improve functionality and usability. These include better ergonomy, simplified forms, contextual help, and navigation history.

In addition, Nuface now has a dedicated form for local rules (INPUT and OUTPUT), making it easier to manage firewall settings. It's also possible to log connections and add a personalized log message, which can be used directly with Nulog or any log analyzer. The installation process has been simplified, thanks to a new network autoconfiguration tool that covers interfaces, networks, and routes.

Overall, Nuface is a powerful and flexible tool that simplifies firewall administration, making it easier to manage security policies and generate firewall rules for your network.
