Monitor and control your Opnsense
FireCtl is a native iOS application designed for iPhone and iPad that provides a dedicated interface for managing OPNsense firewall systems. The app enables users to monitor and control their OPNsense firewalls directly from mobile devices, offering an alternative to the standard web-based management interface. Its primary function is to facilitate remote administration of firewall rules, system status checks, and network oversight without requiring a desktop browser. The application includes features for viewing real time firewall logs, monitoring traffic statistics, and managing common firewall configurations. Users can perform tasks such as enabling or disabling firewall rules, checking system health metrics, and accessing diagnostic tools. The app supports multiple language options, including English, German, French, Spanish, Italian, and Portuguese, to accommodate a diverse user base. Typical use cases involve network administrators or IT professionals who need to respond to firewall alerts or make configuration changes while away from their primary workstation. The workflow generally involves launching the app, connecting to an OPNsense instance, and navigating through the mobile interface to view logs, adjust rules, or verify system status. The app requires an existing OPNsense firewall setup and a network connection between the iOS device and the firewall. Technical requirements include an iPhone or iPad running a compatible version of iOS, along with network access to the OPNsense firewall. The app communicates with the firewall through its API, necessitating proper API credentials and network permissions. FireCtl is available for download through the official app store and is maintained by its developer for ongoing compatibility with OPNsense updates.
