commit 9b82374a47906be38eb50f6ee5cc429fc4de4a4c (HEAD -> main, origin/main, origin/HEAD) Author: Vincent Li <vincent.mc.li@gmail.com> Date: Sat Nov 1 09:03:11 2025 -0700 tc-basic-classifier: add source ip address classification For ingress shaping based on local network source address, according to [0] [1], iptables firewallrule mark is used to mark the packet originated from the local network source ip, but with eBPF tc, we can do the eBPF TC classification on the ifb0 interface to eliminate use of iptables, this improves programability and flexibility. so change the tc bpf program to do both destination and source ip classification, the setup is like: modprobe ifb numifbs=1 modprobe sch_fq_codel modprobe act_mirred modprobe act_connmark ip link set ifb0 up tc qdisc add dev green0 ingress handle ffff: tc filter add dev green0 parent ffff: protocol ip u32 match u32 0 0 action connmark action mirred egress redirect dev ifb0 flowid ffff:1 ./class_filter -a -b ./class_filter.bpf.o -i ifb0 -v Setting up TC qdisc and classes...

- XDP DDoS protection, See XDP SYNPROXY stops 10G DDoS SYN flood here
- XDP UDP DDoS online game protection
- XDP DNS domain blocklist, ratelimit protection
- XDP SSL/TLS server name indicator (SNI) blocklist
- XDP GeoIP/Country blocklist
- XDP multi attachment and capture mode for Intrusion Detection System Suricata in IPS mode
- eBPF based LoxiLB load balancer, Firewall, Proxy, see full features LoxiLB

How to build BPFire?
Build Environment Setup https://www.ipfire.org/docs/devel/ipfire-2-x/build-initial
(It takes a few hours to build image for first build depending on build machine power)
for example on Ubuntu 22.04 LTS:
apt install git-core g++ manpages-pl patch byacc make autoconf automake libltdl-dev
git clone https://github.com/vincentmli/bpfire.git
cd bpfire
wget --mirror --convert-links --adjust-extension --page-requisites --no-parent --cut-dirs=2 -nH --reject "index.html*" --reject "*.gif" https://www.bpfire.net/download/bpfire/cache/
./make.sh build
