Ok, here comes another goofy thread attempt by yours truely. (Last time
my request ended up being possible to accomplish in a much different
matter).
I have a simple question... I've been using netfilter on a few
different machines, Slackware mostly, 2.4.18 and .19 kernels, IPtables
1.2.6a. I like using the endosheild script, I've modified it to do
exactly what I need to. I pay for 3 IP addresses from my cable provider
and am thinking of cancelling 2 to route everything through the main
dedicated linux box ... it's all set and ready to go.
And the question is... are there any web-based frontends for modifying
IPtables rules? Something in PHP or maybe perl? Even if they're not
that fancy, and only allow modifications of incoming DNAT rules (kinda
like port forwarding.) My thinking is that my wife runs servers all the
time, on different ports all the time. I want her to be able to go to a
local page, on the Lan side of the linux machine, use a few drop down
boxes to modify incoming rules to forward ports to her machine. I know
how to do this on the command line... but to have her be able to do it
on the fly instead of me modifying them all the time is desirable. (Her
local ip would also never change. The local network is 172.16.0.0/28
with the lower 7 ips reserved for static addresses, and the upper handed
out by a dhcp server on the linux box, for guests, etc.)
Anyone know of a good way to do this? I have everything in place ... the
dhcp server, the netfilter script, the rules, the natting, etc. Just
need a simple way to modify already exsisting rules. I've looked on
freshmeat, but can't find exactly what I need ... any help would be
appreciated ... thanks...
