vycontrol

VyControl

VyOS frontend made in Python / Django using VyOS new 1.3 API server

It will work with a single VyoS server or to multiple VyOS servers, so datacenters which do not want share same firewall to different customers will not need to install several VyControl to each customer. That's why the name VyControl.
