Easily directly lock IP address on your firewall from any tool.

The iplock tool is used to easily lock and unlock IP addresses on your iptables firewall (or another firewall that supports IP and Port specifications.) iplock can become root in order to tweak the firewall, which allows you to run other tools and servers such as Apache2 as non-root, which is a lot more secure (especially if you have an application.) Although this is nearly like using the iptables command line, it adds the security of a well formed set of options for all the tools using iplock, instead of expecting each tool to do it right. Also, it enforces all sorts of values such as the name of the rule set it has the right to modify in your firewall (i.e. you create create a specific filter such as "unwanted" or "scammer" and let iplock only tweak that filter.)

Requirements:
cmake v2.8+ to generate the compilation environment

What's new in this release:
First release of version 2.x
Version 1.x used a library that was not supposed to be public and so version 1.x stopped working when the library went away.
