...The app presents a clean, intuitive UI where users can define rules based on process names, IP addresses, ports, and protocols, making it possible to restrict apps from accessing the internet or control specific traffic flows with fine granularity. Because simplewall leverages WFP directly, it operates at a low level in the network stack, ensuring reliable enforcement of rules system-wide while remaining lightweight. It also includes optional modes like blocking all inbound or outbound traffic except what’s explicitly allowed, and supports temporary rule application, logging, and diagnostic views to help users understand what traffic is being blocked or permitted.

lua-resty-waf is a web application firewall implemented in Lua for OpenResty/NGINX, designed to run inline at the edge with low overhead. It inspects requests and responses during NGINX phases, applying rule logic and anomaly scoring to detect patterns like SQL injection, cross-site scripting, and protocol abuse. Rules are organized into policies with configurable actions—block, log, or allow—and can leverage shared dictionaries for counters, rate limits, and caching decisions. Because it...

The goal of WallFire is to build a very general and modular firewalling application based on netfilter or any kind of low-level framework. It will provide a multi-language API, command line and interactive tools as well as X11 or HTML front-ends.
