Blogged Et Animam Levavi

Firewall Builder is featured in May issue of the Linux Journal. It’s interesting how often things that are right under your very nose are passing by unnoticed. A couple of my friends, Vadim Kurland and Vadim Zaliva, have been working on this tool for ages and I even remember Vadim Zaliva recommending it to me when I was having problems setting up my firewall properly (yes, I am a networks dummy). At the time I had a very old version of RedHat on my server, so I failed to install it. Later, I upgraded to RedHat 8.0 but somehow, I forgot about this wonderful program, and to add Wi-Fi segment to my home network I again had to go though the settings manually – it was such a pain!

So I guess, now that they have been mentioned in the press twice (first time in some German Linux Magazin in 2001), it’s about time I gave Firewall Builder a try.
