  • fwbuilder

    A clone of the SourceForge fwbuilder repostiory

  • A good way would be source control (git) combined with configuration management (ansible, puppet, chef, etc). Perhaps throw in a CI/CD pipeline. But, if you don't have the interest, will, or time to learn these tools and techniques you could check out firewall builder.

  • opensnitch

    OpenSnitch is a GNU/Linux interactive application firewall inspired by Little Snitch.

  • InfluxDB

    Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale. Get real-time insights from all types of time series data with InfluxDB. Ingest, query, and analyze billions of data points in real-time with unbounded cardinality.

  • nftables

    Ansible role to manage Nftables rules and packages.

  • capirca

    Multi-platform ACL generation system

  • Sadly there's not much choice for Open Source software. FWBuilder is good (also supports Cisco and Procurve devices as well as iptables) but rather old. Capirca is actively maintained and supports a lot of target devices. Sadly I think that's about it for the open source policy management tools.

NOTE: The number of mentions on this list indicates mentions on common posts plus user suggested alternatives. Hence, a higher number means a more popular project.
