Architecture Overview

t1n1wall is a FreeBSD-based firewall/router focused on practical home and cloud deployments.

Design goals

  • Small operational footprint
  • Predictable routing/firewall behavior
  • Web UI managed configuration
  • Reliable recovery via console access

Typical deployment modes

  • Home gateway and segmentation
  • Virtualized edge in labs
  • Cloud network boundary appliance

Policy model

Security should be explicit:

  • deny by default on untrusted paths
  • add only required allows
  • verify with logs and rule counters

Operational model

  • Configure through Web UI
  • Validate through diagnostics/logging
  • Backup configs before major changes
