Xtables-addons is a successor to patch-o-matic-ng which provides additional features to the iptables firewall including extensions to filter and modify network packets.
Xtables-addons differs from patch-o-matic as users do not have to patch or recompile either kernel or Xtables (iptables). The software is easy to install and use, and it provides a range of features that users can leverage to get the most out of their devices. It's worth noting that users need to check the INSTALL file to know the minimum requirements for the package.
The Xtables userspace code is the result of an ongoing effort to bring new ideas to the iptables, ip6tables, arptables, and ebtables userspace programs. The software provides several patches for new features in Linux kernels 2.6.25 that have not yet been accepted into the official "iptables" package. As of mid-April 2008, most things have been merged into the iptables repository. The next release, something after 1.4.0, will have the essential pieces. In the meantime, users can access everything they need, including the "xtables-combined" package, by checking the Resources section.
In conclusion, if you are looking for an exceptionally powerful software tool that is easy to install and use, then Xtables-addons is undoubtedly the right choice for you. With its impressive range of features and capabilities, this software package is guaranteed to deliver outstanding results every time you use it.
