This software enables OpenBSD's pf tables to be accessed from external hosts. It is a simple tool designed to facilitate remote access to the pf tables of OpenBSD.
If you're looking for a small but powerful helper to leverage OpenBSD's pf tables on other hosts, you should definitely check out pftabled daemon. This software allows you to add, delete, and flush IP addresses to and from a remote table with a single UDP datagram. Additionally, pftabled comes with a straightforward client program that you can use on the command line.
To get started with pftabled, you can run the daemon in the background using the "-d" option. You can also choose to log all received packets with "-v". By default, the daemon binds to address "0.0.0.0", but you can specify a different address with "-a". To force requests to use a specific table, use "-f", and to read an authentication key from a file, use "-k". By default, pftabled binds to port "56789", but you can specify a different port with "-p". Finally, you can remove IPs from a table after a certain amount of time has passed by using the "-t" option and specifying the timeout in seconds.
Using the aforementioned client program is also a breeze. To add an IP to a table, simply run: "pftabled-client -k /etc/key fw.example.com 56789 spam add 1.2.3.4". To delete an IP, use: "pftabled-client -k /etc/key fw.example.com 56789 spam del 4.3.2.1/24". And to flush a table, run: "pftabled-client -k /etc/key fw.example.com 56789 spam flush".
Overall, pftabled is a well-designed software that delivers on its promises. Its simplicity and ease of use make it a great tool for users of all skill levels.
