Other License: 
Package: Easy Firewall Box
System name: ezfirebox
This package wants to apply for inclusion in the GNU project

My Project is inspired from the ipmasq package found in Debian GNU/Linux(which 
is perfect for initializing IP Masquerading but too limited/painful for other 
purposes)

The goal of this project is to create a set of scripts to initialize easily IP 
Masquerade, but also Packet Filtering (by IP Address, MAC Address, Ports), Port 
Forwarding and Traffic Shaping.
These scripts provide flooding and spoofing protection, block portscans and 
ICMP.

I decided to create my own set of scripts because all the firewall scripts 
lying around the web/IRC are either too complex to customize, either too 
limited, and none seems to be \"official\". They all are quick\'n\'dirty.
Adding scripts to ipmasq could have been a solution, but I only want to support 
the latest linux kernel, not ipchains & ipfwadm. My script is intended for 
people who want to easily get a working-secure firewall.

It does not exist yet but I\'m working on it.
