An iptables front-end to allow rules to be expressed in a more flexible, free-form style using language closer to plain-English than iptables commands. Rules are then compiled to normal iptables commands.

Features

  • Plain language declaration of firewall rules
  • Declare hostgroups to use in rules to avoid duplication
  • Built-in standard protections to simplify common rules
  • Ability to generate iptables scripts for atomic reloads
  • Depends on only 3 Perl modules

Project Samples

Sample ruleset file Husk configuration file and compiling rules using 'fire' script

PRTG Catches Network Issues Before They Cause Downtime

Threshold-based alerts flag problems early, so your team can act before users notice, not after.

Reactive troubleshooting usually means hearing about a problem from frustrated users, not your monitoring tool. PRTG sets threshold-based alerts across devices, servers and applications, notifying your team by email, SMS or push the moment a metric crosses a set limit. That means catching a failing disk or overloaded server before it becomes an outage and getting time back from firefighting. Start a free trial and set your first alerts today.
