Download Wall of Fire 0.5.69

To configure and manage a firewall based on netfilter/iptables can you use the firewall program. This program makes life a little easier for a system administrator by taking the complexity out of configuring netfilter. Via the supplied interface you can clearly indicate rules, hosts, groups, zones, interfaces and services and read the log files in real time. For an overview of a number of screenshots, we refer you to this page. The developers have released firewall 0.5.69 with the following announcement:

Firewall version 0.5.69 was just released. Biggest new feature is the addition an audit.log, which logs all changes to the configuration of Firewall. See for details. A new translation was added: French. Thank you Nicolas Dejardin for your contribution! Aleksandr Shubnik has created the first rpm packages. Only Suse 9.3 is supported at this time, but more will surely follow.

Please try this release and report all problems to the mailing list.

Regards,
Victor
