NuFW is an enterprise grade firewall that performs an authentication of every single connection passing through the IP filter, by transparently requesting user’s credentials before any filtering decision is taken. Practically, this means security policies can integrate with the users directory, and bring the notion of user ID down to the IP layers.
NuFW lays on Netfilter, the state of the art IP filtering layer from the Linux kernel. It fully integrates with Netfilter and extends its capabilities.
The daemons currently run on Linux and software clients are available for Linux, FreeBSD, MacOS X and Windows.
NuFW can :
- Authenticate any connection that goes through your gateway or only from/to a chosen subset or a specific protocol.
- Perform accounting, routing and quality of service based on users and not simply on IPs.
- Filter packets with criterium such as application and OS used by distant users.
- Be the key of a secure and simple Single Sign On system.
