I remember hating shorewall and similar ones because, well, I know iptables, and I know exactly what I want so using anything that tries to abstract it into it's own approach is torture as I need to take the rules I want and translate it to whatever mediocre paradigm shorewall (or ufw, or near-any other firewall manager in the wild) decided to put on top of iptables. I ended up using ferm... - Source: Hacker News / 10 months ago
I'm a big fan of ferm. Many major distros have it readily available as a package, and it makes for beautifully readable firewall definitions. Source: about 1 year ago
The last time I needed to do complex iptables stuff, I found FERM really helpful. The structured config language greatly reduces the amount of boilerplate code you have to type, while still having a pretty direct mapping to the emitted iptables rules. A bit like compiling sass to css. Source: about 2 years ago
Also just about last thing I want is to deploy another configuration management system alongside the system that manages everything else on machine. Currently we just use Puppet to deploy ferm rules (which is best described as "iptables+", naming convention and such are still iptables-like but a lot of macros/syntax sugar around it).

Anyone else having trouble reaching openwrt.org right now? I can't get the forums, main page or downloads. I've done plenty of troubleshooting and there isn't anything else on my network having trouble reaching anything else on the internet. Source: 9 months ago

Is the Verizon one a combined modem/router? If you want to add your own router, you might have to call them and ask them to put it into bridged mode. I like OpenWRT because it gives you a lot of customization options. I've just been running it on an old TP-Link Archer C7 for the past 5 years or so and I haven't had any issues, but that's ancient hardware now. Source: 11 months ago
