What is Advanced Policy Firewall? Advanced Policy Firewall (APF) is an iptables (netfilter) based firewall system designed around the essential needs of today’s Linux servers. The configuration is designed to be very informative and easy to follow. The management on a day-to-day basis is conducted from the command line with the ‘apf’ command, which includes detailed usage information on all the features.
APF is developed and maintained by R-fx Networks. The technical side of APF is such that it utilizes the latest stable features from the iptables (netfilter) project to provide a very robust and powerful firewall. The filtering performed by APF is three fold: 1) Static rule based policies (not to be confused with a “static firewall”) 2) Connection based stateful policies 3) Sanity based policies
