console.log('Rules:', rules);
```




### Remote SSH Management




```javascript
const CreartFirewall = require('creart-firewall');

// Initialize for remote server via SSH
const firewall = new CreartFirewall({

  sshPort: 22,
  sshUsername: 'admin',
  sshPrivateKey: '/path/to/private/key',
  logLevel: 'info'
});

// Manage remote firewall
await firewall.ufw.enable();
await firewall.iptables.openPort(443, 'tcp');
await firewall.iptables.blockIP('192.168.1.50');
```




### System Monitoring




```javascript
const { SystemInfo } = require('creart-firewall');

  const firewall = new CreartFirewall();
  
  console.log('Testing UFW Manager...');
  const ufwStatus = await firewall.ufw.getStatus();
  console.assert(ufwStatus, 'UFW status test passed');
  
  console.log('Testing iptables Manager...');
  const iptablesStatus = await firewall.iptables.getStatus();
  console.assert(iptablesStatus, 'iptables status test passed');
  
  console.log('Testing System Info...');
  const systemInfo = await firewall.system.getInfo();
  console.assert(systemInfo, 'System info test passed');
  
  console.log('All tests passed! ✅');
};

testFirewall().catch(console.error);
```




### Integration Tests




```bash
# Run comprehensive tests
npm test

# Run specific test suite
npm test -- --grep "UFW"

# Run with coverage
npm test -- --coverage

# Run performance tests
npm test -- --grep "performance"
```




## 📊 Performance




### Benchmark Results




| Operation | Average Time | Memory Usage |
| --- | --- | --- |
| UFW Status Check | 120ms | 15MB |
| Add Single Rule | 80ms | 5MB |
| List 100 Rules | 200ms | 25MB |
| System Info | 150ms | 20MB |
| Port Scan (1-1000) | 2.5s | 50MB |




### Optimization Tips




```javascript
// Enable caching for better performance
const firewall = new CreartFirewall({
  cacheConfig: {
    enabled: true,
    ttl: 300000, // 5 minutes
    maxItems: 100
  }
});

// Use batch operations for multiple rules
await firewall.addMultipleRules(rules);

// Disable validation for bulk imports
await firewall.addRule(rule, { validate: false });
```




## 🔐 Security Considerations




### Best Practices



1. **Always validate rules** before applying
2. **Use rate limiting** for public services
3. **Regular backups** of firewall configurations
4. **Monitor logs** for suspicious activity
5. **Use SSH keys** instead of passwords
6. **Regular updates** of the firewall rules




### Security Configuration




```javascript
const secureConfig = {
  sshHost: 'secure-server.com',
  sshPort: 2222,
  sshUsername: 'admin',
  sshPrivateKey: '/secure/path/key',
  sshOptions: {
    readyTimeout: 30000,
    keepaliveInterval: 60000,
    algorithms: {
      cipher: ['aes256-gcm@openssh.com'],
      kex: ['ecdh-sha2-nistp256'],
      serverHostKey: ['ssh-rsa', 'ssh-ed25519']
    }
  },
  validation: {
    strict: true,
    maxRules: 1000,
    allowedPorts: [22, 80, 443, 3000, 3306, 5432]
  }
};
```
