Mac OS X Firewall Manager

• WaterRoof is an IPFW firewall frontend for Mac OS X with a easy interface and many options. Features include dynamic rules, bandwidth management, NAT configuration and port redirection, pre-defined rule sets and a wizard for easy configuration. You can also watch logs and graphic statistics. Rules configurations and network options can be saved and optionally activated at boot time.
With WaterRoof setting up a dual-homed firewall with Mac OS X has never been so easy... Start from a fresh-clean system installation and be ready in 1 minute with routing/bridging, NAT and port redirection, bandwidth limits and everything you need to fine tune your ipfw configuration. And every option can be easily set to be loaded at boot time, leaving you nothing else to do (except mailing me bug reports ;)
English documentation included into the application bundle. You access it from the WaterRoof "Help" menu.



• WaterRoof e' un frontend per il firewall di Mac OS X IPFW con una interfaccia semplice e molte opzioni. Fra queste vi e' la gestione delle regole dinamiche, della banda, set di regole predefiniti e un wizard per la configurazione assistita e semplificata del firewall. La configurazione del demone natd consente di creare in pochi minuti un firewall dual-homed. Si possono selezionare diverse opzioni per natd e configurare il reindirizzamento delle porte, per poter rendere pubblici servizi locali. E' inoltre possibile consultare i logs, creare grafici basati sui log, effettuare ricerche e statistiche basate su criteri predeterminati. Le regole del firewall e le varie opzioni possono essere salvate e impostate per essere ripristinate al riavvio.
