Beta Skill

This skill modifies firewall rules. Test in a staging environment before applying to production servers.

About

Firewall Security Manager gives your OpenClaw agent complete control over server firewalls — managing UFW, iptables and cloud security groups programmatically. Monitor open ports, detect unauthorized access attempts, automate rule changes and generate security reports. Unlike basic firewall skills that only list rules, this skill provides real-time threat detection, automatic blocking of suspicious IPs and integration with threat intelligence feeds.

Use Cases

  • Auto-block IPs that trigger multiple failed SSH login attempts
  • Audit firewall rules and generate compliance reports
  • Open ports automatically when deploying new services
  • Monitor for unauthorized port changes and alert immediately

What Firewall Security Manager can access

Broad access

Read this skill's SKILL.md in full before installing it. Run it against a disposable host or test account first, and give it the narrowest credentials that still work.

  • Can make changes that are hard to undo

    The listing carries an explicit maintainer warning. Test this against something disposable before pointing it at anything you care about.

    Listing carries a maintainer warning: "This skill modifies firewall rules. Test in a staging environment before applying to production servers."

  • Runs commands on the host

    This skill executes commands on the machine running the agent. That is the broadest permission you can grant: anything the agent user can do, this skill can do.

    This skill's own description refers to "iptables"

  • Changes system or network configuration

    It modifies host-level configuration such as firewall rules, certificates or service definitions. A mistake here can lock you out of the machine.

    This skill's own description refers to "firewall"

  • Makes outbound network calls

    It contacts external services. Outbound calls are how data leaves your machine, so it is worth knowing where it connects.

    This skill's own description refers to "cloud"

These permissions are inferred from this listing — the credentials it declares, any maintainer warning, and the operations its own description mentions. ClawVault has not audited this skill's source code. Treat it as a starting point for your own review, not a substitute for one.

Installing Firewall Security Manager on OpenClaw

An OpenClaw skill is a directory containing a SKILL.md file: Markdown with YAML frontmatter. At startup OpenClaw scans the eligible skill directories and injects a compressed description of each skill into its system prompt, so the agent knows what it can do and invokes a skill when a request matches.

  1. 1

    Find the skill in the registry

    openclaw skills search firewall-security-manager

    ClawHub is the public registry for OpenClaw skills. Searching first gives you the exact owner-qualified reference, which is what the install command needs. Omit the query to browse the default feed.

  2. 2

    Check what it does and who published it

    openclaw skills verify @<owner>/firewall-security-manager

    verify prints ClawHub's verification envelope, including its scan decision and, when available, a commit-pinned source URL. Add --card to read the generated Skill Card instead. Substitute the owner handle returned by the search above.

  3. 3

    Install it

    openclaw skills install @<owner>/firewall-security-manager

    Native ClawHub skills use an @owner/slug reference. By default this installs into the active workspace skills/ directory; add --global to install into the shared managed directory instead. You can also install from Git with git:owner/repo, or from a local folder with ./path.

  4. 4

    Confirm the agent can see it

    openclaw skills check

    check reports which ready skills are actually visible to the agent's prompt surface, which is the quickest way to catch a skill that installed but did not load.

Commands follow the official OpenClaw documentation. Placeholders such as <owner> are filled in by the search step, because registry references are publisher-scoped.

How OpenClaw screens skills

Since February 2026 ClawHub screens submitted skills with VirusTotal: each bundle is hashed and looked up, new bundles are scanned with Code Insight, and results drive an approve, warn or block decision with daily re-scanning. This materially reduces supply-chain risk but does not eliminate it, and independent research has found that different scanners frequently disagree about the same skill. Read the SKILL.md of anything you install, especially if it requests shell access or credentials.

Review before installing

Read this skill's SKILL.md before installing it, so you know what commands it runs and which credentials it reads.
