haku Posted August 25, 2009 Share Posted August 25, 2009 I'm a software guy, and not a Unix user, but the guy I work with who maintains our server just asked me if I know any free or inexpensive firewall software that can be used on Unix servers. Does anybody know of any? Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/171719-unix-server-firewall-software/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
trq Posted August 25, 2009 Share Posted August 25, 2009 iptables is the standard packet filter built into the kernel which pretty much all firewalls on *nix use. Everything else (ie shorewall and the like) are just simplified interfaces to it (iptables).

lynxus Posted September 6, 2009 Share Posted September 6, 2009 I would suggest using something called: Webmin Its a fairly good system used to configure and run *nix boxes. It also has a module for maintaining the iptables firewall ( rathey than manually editing somthing like /etc/sysconfig/iptables ) Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/171719-unix-server-firewall-software/#findComment-913536 Share on other sites More sharing options...
