Every time I read a how-to for something involving networking on Linux and see iptables configuration I think "Ugh, it's not PF."

@9600 Every time I see a PF config I think "ugh, it's not firehol :-)"

@dsilverstone What’s firehol?
1
@jogbert A layer on top of iptables. It makes it easier for me to do firewalls :-) (it's also shonky and doesn't do IPv6, but hey :-)

@dsilverstone Ah. It also looks like abandonware? I’m tempted to write my own abstraction for ip[6]tables.

@jogbert I've started writing my own abstraction about 20 times so far, just never finished any :-)
1
@dsilverstone Any code available anywhere?
1
@jogbert nowhere I will admit to.

@dsilverstone Feel free to email it over :-)

@jogbert Given it never got very far, I'd rather not. Perhaps I'll go back to it as a Haskell exercise :-)

@dsilverstone I’ve been playing with Go so I might try it in that. Maybe not the best language for it though. But hey, I have free time :-)
