Added

  • GitHub sponsorship was activated for the project
  • A large number of configuration entries have been added
  • Blocked connections can be logged by iptables
  • Connections from blacklisted senders can be logged
  • Broadcast, multicast and anycast packets can be blocked
  • SSH brute force prevention was added. Attention! The feature is in alpha state and untested
  • ICMP flood prevention has been implemented. The feature is also in alpha state
  • Drop Invalid Packages was implemented. This is also an Alpa version
  • Port Scan Prevention has been implemented. The feature is currently unstable in my tests
  • IPv6 Router Advertisement connections can be allowed or prohibited
  • IPv6 Neighbor Advertisement packets can also be allowed or prohibited
  • Installation and update documentation has been improved
  • easywall is now programmed completely typed thanks to mypy
  • Ports can now be forwarded from the local system. Note that both the source and destination ports must be opened. This is because this is only a nat forwarding and not a FORWARDING forwarding
  • The translations have been significantly improved thanks to deepl.com
  • Username and password for the web interface can be changed directly in the web interface
  • It is recognized if configuration entries are missing. This is especially important in this version, because we have added some variables. You will be notified about the differences in the web interface
  • The start page of the web interface has been completely reworked. In the future I imagine a tag cloud from the open ports
  • The options page in the web interface now contains almost all settings from the files

Changed

  • Python 3.5 is no longer supported, because no typing of variables is possible
  • The detection from the first start has now been changed to a detection at every start. This has proven to be useful, as more rule types may be added in the future.
  • The configuration files are reloaded each time a variable is called. This is needed to activate changes from the web interface immediately.
  • An additional Python package "natsort" is required. The package offers the possibility to sort the ports naturally.
  • The allowed ICMPv4/v6 types are now strongly restricted.

Allowed ICMPv4 types:

  • 0 echo-reply
  • 3 destination-unreachable
  • 11 time-exceeded
  • 12 parameter problem

Allowed ICMPv6 types:

  • 1 destination-unreachable
  • 2 packet-too-big
  • 3 time-exceeded
  • 4 parameter problem
  • 128 echo request
  • 129 echo-reply

After explicit configuration the following ICMPv6 types are allowed additionally:

  • 133 router solicitation
  • 134 router advertisement
  • 135 neighbor solicitation
  • 136 neighbor advertisement
