gamemann / XDP-Firewall

A firewall that utilizes the Linux kernel's XDP hook. The XDP hook allows for very fast network processing on Linux systems. This is great for dropping malicious traffic from a (D)DoS attack. IPv6 is supported with this firewall! I hope this helps network engineers/programmers interested in utilizing XDP!

Hey, just wanted to let you know you may now sponsor me if you'd like.

@ultperf It looks like you made progress on that issue since your last comment. What issues are you now facing? Also I saw you're talking to Toke, they've helped me a lot with XDP in the past on the XDP Newbies mailing list and their knowledge is far beyond mine when it comes to XDP and the Linux kernel (not to mention they're just a good person in general from my experience!).

I also agree on the lonely journey part, there aren't many network programmers in general and XDP is still very new/complicated to most. To be honest, I went through a lot of pain learning XDP, but that's why I published most of my stuff open-source in hopes that it'll help others and others won't have to go through the same issues I had. I highly recommend the XDP Newbies mailing list as well since the XDP maintainer and developers are active there and they helped me a lot in the past.
