Linode Firewall (Beta)

vyas

I came across a post talking about Linode Firewall that is in beta. One has to apply to the program to use but...

My question : is this different (or better ) than standard / cli tools ?

On the surface it looks like just another DO/Vultr-style “cloud firewall”.

Linode Farewell Beta.

hey

it's different from let say iptables which use the server resource, Cloud Firewall works on router level ( I don't know what they called it).

Limitation
You can apply up to three Cloud Firewalls per Linode service.

that too limited for a real application

I'd like to hope it's because it's just the beta, but in case they leave it like this after GA - yeah... -_-

It says per service, not per account...? which could mean multiple firewalls attached to a single compute instance...
