Version 0.1.0 of lnsk and lnsk.firewall4 have been released. They are both beta versions.

Despite the fact that all of the planned features are not yet implemented, I plan on changing the development status from alpha to beta soon for both lnsk and lnsk.firewall4.

On top of that, this is the first Linux project I have ever released. You guys might have to deal with me as I learn how to handle this stuff.... read more
