pftabled-1.07.tar.gz

The pftabled daemon is a small helper to make your pf tables reachable from other hosts. You can add/delete/flush IP addresses to/from a remote table with a single UDP datagram. Sample client programs in C and Perl are included.

Usage

	pftabled [options...]
	-d           Run as daemon in the background
	-v           Log all received packets
	-a address   Bind to this address (default: 0.0.0.0)
	-f table     Force requests to use this table
	-k keyfile   Read authentication key from file
	-p port      Bind to this port (default: 56789)
	-t timeout   Remove IPs from table after timeout seconds
	

Client examples

	$ pftabled-client -k /etc/key fw.example.com 56789 spam add 1.2.3.4
	$ pftabled-client -k /etc/key fw.example.com 56789 spam del 4.3.2.1/24
