I am writing looking for developers interested in a new idea for firewalling on OpenWRT.
The initial concept is very simple, basically tallying all outgoing and optionally incoming IP packets with a record of all DNS IP requests, by using an iptables extension module. In addition to this, is the idea of an OpenWRT web user interface extension to manage connections, this would show all open connections. With the additional optional functionality of only allowing new connections to new IP addresses and/or domains when they are validated by the user. Any unknown IP traffic will be denied and flagged up with reverse IP lookup attempted and domains displayed. Opinions for allowing a whitelists of all Ubuntu, Debian, Microsoft Windows, installer and update IP's can also be added. In addition user desktop apps may allow this to be displayed on the users desktop, as an icon tray app on Windows for example. I have developed and ported command line tools for Linux, Windows, and MacOS, and have potentially Android and iOS skills. I have done simple Hello World, and Map apps in the past for both mobile platforms, so we could add mobile app support too. Anyone interested in working on this project on whatever level ideally first the iptables extension please do chime in or get in touch.
