easywallFirewallsare becoming increasingly important in today's world. Hackers and automated scripts are constantly trying toinvade your systemand use it for Bitcoin mining, botnets or other things.To prevent these attacks, you can use a firewall on your system.IPTablesis the strongest firewall in Linux because it canfilter packets in the kernelbefore they reach the application. Using IPTables isnot very easyfor Linux beginners. We have created easywall - the simpleIPTables web interface. The focus of the software is on easy installation and use.DemoYou can view an online version of the program as a demo under the following link:https://dev01vt.wdkro.de:12227/(Certificate is provided by Let's Encrypt)Username: demoPassword: demoThe online demo version is reset every 30 minutes and all data is deleted.

Today I work as an administrator for Linux systems and would not need this project anymore. Nevertheless it is important to me to support the introduction to Linux and the use and simplification of firewalls.To continue the project, I need your support! Please donate so that I can continue the project in my spare time. Every dollar counts! You can find a donation link onGitHub.What does it look like
