fwsync

fwsync

Provides CLI interface to update your personal Firewall Rules associated with your Cloud Based Development VM.

Installation

Install by running the following in your terminal:

$ curl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/jharshman/fwsync/master/install.sh | sh

Usage

Init

After installing, you can invoke the CLI by typing fwsync in your terminal. This by default will display some usage information.

To initialize fwsync type fwsync init. This will walk you through steps in selecting the correct firewall to manage and will write out fwsync's config file which will be located at $HOME/.fwsync.

Update

If your IP updates and you notice you've lost access to your CloudVM, you can invoke fwsync update to automatically detect your new IP address and update your Firewall Rule.
