An open-source Linux firewall manager that puts nftables behind a web interface and automatically reverts risky rule changes unless you confirm them.

Why it surfaced

easywall treats the classic remote-firewall lockout as a design problem: applying rules starts a 120-second confirmation window, and losing the connection is enough to restore the previous rules. Its two-process privilege isolation, structured Go rules, audit log, Docker coexistence, and live demo make this more than a thin dashboard.

Ice Does Not Count

August 12’s newborn domains include a rule-bound archive of enormous sodas, 27 family stories cut from one afternoon, a disaster-supply map with a 24-hour freshness rule, and an ocean bell that rings only when six conditions agree.

This is one of 1,000 discoveries in the 2026-08-12 Domain Arrivals issue.
