Protecting my old faithful friend NethServer-7.9 with a firewall

[mrmarkuz (Markus Neuberger)]

Thanks for all the feedback about UCG Ultra firewalls.
I’d like to create a Feature request for NethSecurity/NethServer 8.

I really like the possibility on UCG Ultra to be able to create VPNs between the sites via the controller and I think that could be a nice feature for NethSecurity.

Summary of mentioned features in this thread:

Please correct me if I overlooked something.

@michelandre

The included and working DNS part is able to do it.
Much easier and faster to set than with NethServer-7.

You got a point. I think it’s better now on NethSecurity and NS8 than it was on NS7 due to the new UI but “advanced” records like TXT or SRV are still not possible without going to CLI.

@michelandre

For the cert, not needed, The UCG examines the received packet and as it is transparent, il just relays it to the destination party and let it start the encryption conversation.

Sorry, I don’t get it. Could you please explain?

Already planned, there or not supported

Question

Which other features of UCG Ultra would make sense on NethSecurity or NethServer 8?
