iptables Cli

Iptables cli is a Cli interface for iptables. Iptables must be a good firewall in Linux, but seem a bit complicated in use. So let’s try to make it more simple using this new open source tool name iptables cli write in Go.

Install

brew tap kenyhenry/iptables_cli brew install iptables_cli

Why ?

• Iptables give us a wide choice to manage rules, move rules up and down is damagable.
• iptables -L takes time
• There is a lot of options and no categories to manage
• Delete wrong rule with index can lead to strong damaged on your VPS

Precaution

• -t option not implemented yet because there is no way to get tables using iptables -L
• Move and edit rule included adding a new rule then deleting the old one so be careful on which rule you are moving
• Sometimes Rendering widgets is not automatic so tape escape to rerender
• In some, Iptables cli is challenging iptables use and is a better approach to manage all your rules.

Future

• It could be interesting to switch to nftable on iptables cli
• Create our own firewall using netfilter and map it to our custom iptables cli interface
