Description

A port-knocking daemon that can watch for a specific sequence of connection attempts before opening or triggering access rules.

Use it only when you understand the network access model you want to create. Misconfiguration can block legitimate access or expose services unexpectedly, so test rules from a safe recovery path.

How to run

knockd.service
