CFS, A Stateful Packet Inspection (SPI) firewall, Login/Intrusion Detection and Security application for Linux servers, has added BETA support to their firewall:

5.04

Added BETA IPv6 support. See csf.conf for more information on the new
settings: IPV6 IP6TABLES IPV6_ICMP_STRICT IPV6_SPI TCP6_IN TCP6_OUT
UDP6_IN UDP6_OUT

New CLI option csf –status6 (csf -l6) added to list ip6tables rules

 

Changed temporary DENY and ACCEPT working file formats to use a
different record separator to cater for future IPv6 support

 

Advanced Allow/Deny Filters now use | as the separator character to
cope with IPv6 addresses. Legacy support remains for the old :
separator for IPv4 addresses, though these should also now use | as
the field separator

 

In Server Check report, don’t issue IPv6 warning if only ::1/128 is
bound to a NIC (i.e. loopback)

 

Upgraded Net::CIDR::Lite to v0.21

 

Upgraded from IP::Countries to Geography::Countries
