CLUSTER FIREWALL-MANAGE-RULES · 9 ENTRIES · EARLIEST ENTRY 2025-08-20

Firewall rule management tools

This cluster comprises applications and interfaces for configuring, monitoring, and managing firewall rules across diverse platforms, including mobile apps, terminal CLIs, and GUIs, targeting systems like OPNsense, iKuai, ufw, and iptables. The dated entries appear sparsely from March 2013 through June 2026, with a nearly decade-long gap between August 2014 and July 2024, followed by several individual entries in 2024–2026. The traction leaders, based on activity signal, are ikuai-cli, AFWall+, and OPNsense Manager, though all show 0 stars.

Each bar is the month a member carries, which is a creation date where the source published one and a crawl date otherwise. Nothing in the index was found before 11 August 2026, and coverage broadened sharply on 14–15 August, so a bar from then on reports how much we found that month, not how much was built; an earlier bar reports how far back a member's own source dated it — not how long we have been watching.

Two labels per entry, never collapsed into one: how it was built, and who stands behind it. Counted over the 9 listed below. Unlabelled means nothing has decided yet — not that the answer is small.
