Ban Lists
8Signs Firewall lets you block IP addresses or ranges of addresses to prevent unwanted connection attempts. |

|
Adapater Configuration
8Signs Firewall allows you to maintain a separate set of rules to be applied to each network adapter in your system. Thus you can configure a set of rules to be applied to traffic passing over your external/Internet interface, while having a separate set of rules that apply to traffic through your internal/LAN interface.

View Connections
The Connections Viewer is a real-time display showing all active connections going through the firewall. For example, with 8Signs Firewall installed on a web server a quick glance at the Connections Viewer would show the administrator how many visitors are currently at their web site.

View Logs
8Signs Firewall has full logging capabilities. You have complete control over what to log, how large the log file can become, where to store the logs, and how often to begin a new log file. |
|
|
Port Groups
Simplify your ruleset and tighten security by using the port, IP and MAC address groups when creating rules in 8Signs Firewall. Using groups, you can create one rule that can apply to multiple ports, IP addresses or MAC addresses.

Ports View
The Ports Display shows open TCP and UDP ports and, where possible, the application that opened them. Some ports do not show the process that has them open. These are generally opened by the operating system.
Not all ports listed in "netstat" will be shown in the "Ports" display. TCP ports that the operating system reports in the "Listening" state are shown, because these are of the most interest. An active system
might have hundreds in various stages of connection and these are suppressed. It is expected these will show in the Connections Display. |

Rules
8Signs Firewall gives the administrator unparalleled control over the traffic passing through the firewall. All traffic is blocked by the firewall, unless you have specifically configured a rule to allow it. Rules are configured per-device, and you have full control over the local and remote IP address(es), local and remote port(s), protocol, and direction of the traffic that you will allow through the firewall. |
