About Us | Firewall Builder

http://www.fwbuilder.org/4.0/about.shtml

Our mission is to simplify firewall management. Having spent years wrestling with firewall rules ourselves, we know what it's like to be up late trying to get the firewall working. That frustration, along with our passion for creating easy-to-use software, inspired the creation of Firewall Builder. Firewall Builder’s platform-neutral approach is based on the core belief that your firewall rules, and the elements used in those rules, shouldn't have to be tied to a specific firewall platform.
