Meds v0.6.0 — lock-free firewall powered by NFQUEUE and Go

Hello!

I’m excited to announce that Meds v0.6.0 is out! :tada:

Check it out here: GitHub link

The main update is a completely reworked core for higher performance, using a decoupled reader / worker / logger model:

  • Readers drain NFQUEUE as fast as possible

  • Workers handle CPU-intensive packet filtering

  • Logger uses zerolog with worker-based async logging to minimize overhead

This architecture allows Meds to process more packets with lower latency, making it more efficient on modern systems.

Meds v1.0.0 is out!

Introducing a fast path that automatically offloads verified connections to the kernel level.
