And so far - except for the yet incomplete module from NethServer - all the talk was around various rules generators.@Manuel
Our goal is not IPtables rule generator ! We are talking about a version of CentOS that provide unified threat management which will be install on a device or server.
Could you please explain in more words what you wish to accomplish ? UTM is a great buzzword and integrating under the same umbrella firewall management and UTM is not trivial. Especially in a clustered world where part of the firewalling is done via appliances from various providers such as Cisco, Juniper, Vyatta, Sonicwall and Bluecoat
Exactly my point. What other tools do you have in mind ? And WHY do you need proxy / caching on this machine ? My main proxy for instance is quite far from some of the border firewalls. Up to 5000 km away. And being able to maintain the firewall rules in a single place and push them as needed is handyOn this machine except iptables we need proxy and caching service like squid and some tools else.
All right. And what other goals are there ?Firewalling is one of our goal...

If you can expose a web interface, you can expose ssh /VNC/VPN whatever to a machine where fwbuilder can run. Google Play provides apps for all of those and then some more

And fwbuilder can run on your management workstation and push the rules to ANY server. Including the web server that you mentioned :)
