Lightweight nftables firewall that operates via netlink
eleos is a lightweight, simple, secure and essential firewall that
manipulates nftables directly through netlink. It does not depend on the
nft(8) command and needs no external API access to generate or apply rules.
This snap runs strictly confined. The privileged firewall-control
interface has to be connected manually before rules can be applied:
sudo snap connect eleos:firewall-control
Configuration lives in /var/snap/eleos/current/eleos.yml.
