Firewall Builder
Firewall Builder is an easy-to-use GUI for creating and managing firewall rules for multiple platforms including iptables, pf and Cisco routers and Cisco ASA/PIX firewalls.
With advanced features like rules validation and analysis, Firewall Builder lets users focus on making sure they have the right firewall rules defined instead of trying to keep up with the latest configuration syntax for each type of device in their network.
Now on release V4.1, Firewall Builder has been around for over 10 years with thousands of users relying on it every day to manage production firewalls. This is mature, fully featured software that runs on MS Windows, Mac OS X, Linux and BSD.
