NAME

VUser::Firewall - vuser plugin to manage firewalls

DESCRIPTION

VUser::Firewall is an extension to vuser that allows one to manage simple firewall rules. VUser::Firewall is not meant to be used by itself but, instead, registers the basic keywords, actions and options that other VUser::Firewall::* extentions will use. Other options may be added by firewall specific extensions.

CONFIGURATION

[Extension Firewall]
# Automatically restart the firewall after each command
auto restart = no

Any Firewall::* extensions will automatically load Firewall. There is no need to add Firewall to vuser|extensions. Other VUser::Firewall::* extensions may have their own configurations.

META SHORTCUTS

VUser::Firewall provides a few VUser::Meta objects that may be used by other firewall extensions. The safest way to access them is to call VUser::Firewall::meta() from within the extension's init() function.

Provided keys: network, port, protocol, host, source, destination, sport, dport
