webfirewall

WORK IN PROGRESS

A IPTables-based firewall with a web application admin frontend, written mostly in Go and HTML.

Usage

From the root directory of this project, run the command: go build -o firewall src/firewall/main.go

...Then, run with: sudo ./firewall

Or if using the precompiled binary (experimental), then: chmod +x webfirewall_linux_amd64 and ./webfirewall_linux_amd64

Notes

• This project relies on Legacy IPTables modules, so you must first switch to Legacy IPTables if you're not already running it.
  • Run: sudo update-alternatives --set iptables /usr/sbin/iptables-legacy
• Some IPTables functionality (like Request Limiting) may or may not work based on what operating system you are running.
• You may have to create an SQL database to fit line 41:
  • dsn := "webadmin:password12@tcp(localhost:3306)/webfirewall"
  • Table Name: "webfirewall" on SQL server on local machine's Port 3306, Username: "webadmin", Password: "password12".
  • This will be fixed with implementation of Go's Embed library.
• This project has been tested with Go v1.21.5 in Ubuntu 22.04.
