This firewall is designed to read filtering rules from a config file and filter incoming packets. Both IPv4 and **IPv6** are supported! The protocols currently supported are TCP, UDP, and ICMP. The firewall also has the option to display counters for allowed, dropped, and passed packets which are written to `stdout`. -I hope this project helps existing network engineers and programmers interested in utilizing XDP or anybody interested in getting into those fields!
