Turtle Firewall – firewall software

Last Updated on October 17, 2022

Turtle Firewall allows you to realize a Linux firewall in a simply and fast way. It’s based on kernel 2.4.x/2.6.x and Iptables.

Its way of working is easy to understand: you can define the different firewall elements (zones, hosts, networks) and then set the services you want to enable among the different elements or groups of elements.

Turtle Firewall starts up like every other Linux service at boot time. Its configuration is extremely simple thanks to the web interface implemented as a module for Webmin.

Features include:

• ZONES, NETWORKS, HOSTS and GROUPS definitions.
• Filter rules definitions based on services.
• New services definitions.
• Network Address Translation (NAT).
• Masquerading.
