- apf-firewall: easy iptables based firewall system
Advanced Policy Firewall (APF) is an iptables(netfilter) based firewall
system designed around the essential needs of today's Internet deployed
servers and the unique needs of custom deployed Linux installations. The
configuration of APF is designed to be very informative and present the
user with an easy to follow process, from top to bottom of the
configuration file. The management of APF on a day-to-day basis is
conducted from the command line with the 'apf' command, which includes
detailed usage information and all the features one would expect from a
current and forward thinking firewall solution.
.
Summary of features:
* detailed and well commented configuration file
* granular inbound and outbound network filtering
* user id based outbound network filtering
* application based network filtering
* trust based rule files with an optional advanced syntax
* global trust system where rules can be downloaded from a central
management server
* reactive address blocking (RAB), next generation in-line intrusion
prevention
* debug mode provided for testing new features and configuration setups
* fast load feature that allows for 1000+ rules to load in under 1 second
* inbound and outbound network interfaces can be independently configured
* global tcp/udp port & icmp type filtering with multiple methods of
executing filters (drop, reject, prohibit)
* configurable policies for each ip on the system with convenience variables
to import settings
* packet flow rate limiting that prevents abuse on the most widely abused
protocol, icmp
* prerouting and postrouting rules for optimal network performance
* dshield.org block list support to ban networks exhibiting suspicious
activity
* spamhaus Don't Route Or Peer List support to ban known "hijacked zombie"

policies applied

the strictest of standards

arp poisoning and more
* configurable type of service options to dictate the priority of different
types of network traffic
