Sections: Mac OS X, Unix

Screenshot About:
Firewall Builder consists of a GUI and set of policy compilers for various firewall platforms. It helps users maintain a database of objects and allows policy editing using simple drag-and-drop operations. The GUI and policy compilers are completely independent, which provides for a consistent abstract model and the same GUI for different firewall platforms. It currently supports iptables, ipfilter, ipfw, OpenBSD pf, Cisco PIX and FWSM, and Cisco routers access lists.

[»] Distributed firewalls
by blockall - Apr 16th 2002 10:07:11

Any chance you would implement the possibility to push one ruleset to a firewall module (maybe via ssh?) and restart the module and check status?
It would really give a kick to the application (which I really enjoy). And maybe support clustered firewalls?

    you can intall and activate firewall policy if you use one of the install scripts available in the Contrib area on our sourceforge page. See FAQ 4.1

[»] On FreeBSD
by Jens Nykaer - Apr 10th 2002 06:31:41

It's a delight to use the GUI. Very nice work. Installation on a FreeBSD however requires some insight. Add some FAQs around this subject and fwbuilder would definitily get more focus on the FreeBSD platform.

    we are working out last portability issues in the API library and the GUI. A section about building on FreeBSD will be added to the Requirements document at the time of the next release (1.0.2)

[»] Great product...
by Michael Groves - Feb 15th 2002 23:16:57

Just wanted to say this is a great product, and I hope to continue to get better. This has made configuring iptables rule-bases a dream.

Thanks again for all your work,

Michael Groves :)

You need libxml to install the RPM

      Putting that in freshmeat dependencies would be very useful. This way would be easier to download all packages needed. Just a suggestion. nice application

        I guess it is better late than never. I added dependencies.
