OpenVPN's principal strengths include wide cross-platform ... [More] portability, excellent stability, support for dynamic IP addresses and NAT, adaptive link compression, single TCP/UDP port usage, a modular design that offloads most crypto tasks to the OpenSSL library, and relatively easy installation that in most cases doesn't require a special kernel module.

ITVal is an open source utility for testing, and debugging iptables firewall policies. It can detect many different kinds of errors, such as typos, out-of-order rules, faulty understanding of the firewall, or poor assumptions about the policy logic. ...

This grouping is automatically calculated from the policy and can make it very easy to spot anomalies in the policy. Current development on ITVal focuses on ways to partially automate repair of the policy. [Less]
