homeLANsecurity

homeLANsecurity is a series of shell scripts for loading iptables firewall rules. The goal of these scripts is to provide an easy to manage framework for standard iptables rule sets. The scripts are well documented and are easily edited. It is primarily designed to operate on home or small office gateway Linux system, but the scripts can be easily adapted to protect an individual Linux server or workstation. homeLANsecurity's command set is written to support loading, clearing, saving, restoring, testing, and displaying of iptables rules. The configuration supports NAT, port forwarding of common services, TOS packet mangling, OpenVPN, Squid transparent proxy, IP address banning, adaptive banning, and connection tuning. Custom iptables rules are easily inserted without any editing of the scripts themselves.
