@Michael I assume you are templating the /etc/sysconfig/iptables in CentOS, and /etc/iptables/rules.v4 in Ubuntu files? I just figured out that you can install the iptables-persistent package in Ubuntu, I hadn't been sure what files you were referring to before that...
So, a reload on CentOS would be ```service iptables restart```. What about Ubuntu? ```cat /etc/iptables/rules.v4 | iptables-restore``` ? @Brian, I took a look at fwbuilder. Looks almost as complicated as iptables itself. At least for my limited needs. Maybe if I was doing something more complicated... Thanks for the tip. --David Reagan On Thu, Dec 11, 2014 at 7:41 PM, Brian Coca <bc...@ansible.com> wrote: > > if you need a GUI, firewall builder http://www.fwbuilder.org/ is a > desktop app that can generate iptables rules (among others), you can > use it to get the commands for your templates. > > Though iptables is not hard the syntax can get clunky, the new linux > fireall system, nftables, is much nicer and with clearer sytnax, it > seems to borrow some good things from BSD's pf (packet filter).
