The NATural 1.0b2
The NATural - Configure NAT routing on Mac OS X Server 10.4 more>>
Apples Server Admin software provides only a limited interface to control NAT routing functions. The underlying process, natd, can accept many more arguments. Although Server Admin does not provide an interface to these functions, it does respect all settings that natd supports. The NATural allows you to easily configure these settings.
The NATural was developed in response to my own need to configure NAT routing as an administrator of several Mac OS X Server systems. I quickly became frustrated with editing the natd.plist file each time I wanted to make a change. Furthermore, I was also annoyed that there was no quick and easy way to disable but save IP and Port Forwarding rules. Why couldnt configuring NAT be as easy as configuring the firewall? Now it is!
Enhancements:
- no longer asks for password twice on first launch
- fixed interface menu to read non-physical interfaces
- added "Other..." option in interface menu
- fixed several "Error in helper tool response" errors
- error messages now more specific where possible
- now asks to apply changes if necessary before starting or restarting NAT
- port forwarding rules must now include both a target and destination port, this is a restriction imposed by serveradmin
- punch_fw, custom divert ports, and remote IP/port specifications of port forwarding rules now hidden (ignored by serveradmin)
- expanded help
- log drawer performance and memory usage improved
- better handling of malformed port forwarding and IP forwarding rules.

NINJAM 0.02a
NINJAM is a program to allow people to make real music together via the Internet more>>
Every participant can hear every other participant. Each user can also tweak their personal mix to his or her liking. NINJAM is cross-platform, with clients available for Mac OS X and Windows.
NINJAM uses compressed audio which allows it to work with any instrument or combination of instruments. You can sing, play a real piano, play a real saxophone, play a real guitar with whatever effects and guitar amplifier you want, anything. If your computer can record it, then you can jam with it (as opposed to MIDI-only systems that automatically preclude any kind of natural audio collaboration1).
Since the inherent latency of the Internet prevents true realtime synchronization of the jam2, and playing with latency is weird (and often uncomfortable), NINJAM provides a solution by making latency (and the weirdness) much longer.
Latency in NINJAM is measured in measures, and thats what makes it interesting.
The NINJAM client records and streams synchronized intervals of music between participants. Just as the interval finishes recording, it begins playing on everyone elses client. So when you play through an interval, youre playing along with the previous interval of everybody else, and theyre playing along with your previous interval. If this sounds pretty bizarre, it sort of is, until you get used to it, then it becomes pretty natural. In many ways, it can be more forgiving than a normal jam, because mistakes propagate differently.
Part tool, part toy, NINJAM is designed with an emphasis on musical experimentation and expression.
NINJAM uses OGG Vorbis audio compression to compress audio, then streams it to a NINJAM server, which can then stream it to the other people in your jam. This architecture requires a server with adequate bandwidth, but has no firewall or NAT issues. OGG Vorbis is utilized for its great low bitrate characteristics and performance. Each user receives a copy of other users audio streams, allowing for each user to adjust the mix to their liking, as well as remix later. This uses more bandwidth than having a server encode a single stream, but has numerous benefits (including lower server CPU use and the client having the full multichannel data for later use).
NINJAM can also save all of the original uncompressed source material, for doing full quality remixes after the jam.
For some samples of how NINJAM can sound, see samples directory.
Enhancements:
- Hidden password in connection dialog
- Password saving option
- Small fixes.
WaterRoof 2.2
WaterRoof is considered as a powerful firewall management frontend designed with bandwidth tuning, NAT setup, port redirection, dynamic rules tracking, predefined rule sets, wizard, logs, statistics and other features. more>>
WaterRoof 2.2 is considered as a powerful firewall management frontend designed with bandwidth tuning, NAT setup, port redirection, dynamic rules tracking, predefined rule sets, wizard, logs, statistics and other features. With WaterRoof you can set up the IPFW built-in firewall easily and quickly. With the NAT Setup feature you can fine-tune your internet sharing for the home LAN, or you can also set up a full-featured dual-homed firewall for your network. Rules and network option can be stored and loaded at boot time.
WaterRoof is only a frontend so it makes use of system tools: this means that when you have finished configuring/testing your firewall, you can safely delete WaterRoof from your system, without loosing your rules. Bandwidth settings, firewall rules, NAT rules, forwarding, logging and other options will be preserved and activated at boot using launchd, following Apple guidelines. This means that WaterRoof is quite safe because it does not install any strange kernel extension or background daemon. You can also download and check WaterRoof source code, it's open.
WaterRoof can be used to learn how ipfw works: you can use predefined rule sets to test firewall behaviour, or you can use the wizard to start from scratch with a step-by-step configuration. But WaterRoof can also be used to deeply configure a ipfw firewall/router, using every ipfw option including qos (dummynet queues). English documentation included. WaterRoof is freeware and open-source.
Major Features:
- Uses Mac OS X built-in IPFW firewall. No kernel modules, no extensions, no pain. WaterRoof is free and open-source
- The most advanced Mac OS X free graphical interface for ipfw lets you create, modify, delete, move ipfw rules very quickly.
- Manage network bandwidth with dummynet pipes and queues
- Check live dynamic rules created by stateful firewall rules
- Watch and parse firewall logs, create raw and graphic statistics
- Look at active network connections, block them or limit their bandwidth on-the-fly
- List all applications that make network connections
- Manage Network Address Translation (NAT) daemon: create a basic dual-home firewall/nat/router with port redirection and forwarding
- Keep your favourite firewall rules active at system boot; import/export rulesets
- Name resolution, whois, and much more.
Requirements:
- Mac OS X 10.4, 10.5 or 10.6.

IPNetShareX 1.0c3 is designed to attract many users by its ability to give users graphical access to Mac OS X's Network Address Translation (NAT) services without having to use the command line. NAT is a protocol used to share a single Internet connection among multiple computers without requiring a dedicated hardware router. IPNetShareX can be used as an alternative to the basic Internet sharing feature of IPNetRouter.
IPNetShareX like other NAT based Internet sharing solutions imposes some limitations due to sharing a single public IP address. While basic email, web surfing, and file transfer work well with NAT, some games and streaming protocols do not.
Enhancements:
- Fix bug in accessing System Configuration framework.
Requirements:
- Mac OS X.
- A connection to the Internet. IPNetShareX can be used with cable modems, xDSL, dial-up modems, or most other data link providers.
- At least one network interface card connected to a network. Recommend that you use two cards. This is more secure because you are not mixing internal and external data on the same card. Airport cards, as well as the internal ethernet cards now shipped on all Macs, are acceptable.
