An ISP-grade Libre web front-end to iptables/netfilter and GNU+Linux advanced routing and traffic shaping (LARTC) has been released. I haven't tried it yet, but it sounds pretty sweet and worthy of sharing.

Hi all,
This is a one time announce.
From about 12 years from now I (and my company) have worked with
small/medium ISPs or WISPs, always using Linux as the core router for bandwidth management, QoS and load balancing.
As for 3 years from now we have started to work in a product now called SequreISP[0], which is a final solution for small/medium ISPs, that now is at a very stable state, and the proof is it's been used for more than 200 ISPs in more than 10 different countries worldwide[1]. With a range of clients up to 5000 per ISP, that is currently our mayor success case (in a single server), but we think this can grow up to 10000 or 15000 as well.
SequreISP allows to do bandwidth management, QoS, load balancing (current record is 40 ADSL lines in single server) and a lot more all from a comfortable web interface (like a router) which is written in Ruby on Rails. At a low level it generates tc(htb,sfq) queues and ip ro/iptables commands.
SequreISP comes with a core which has all the technicals features, which has been open sourced about more than a year ago with a AGPLv3 License. You can check the project page at github[2]. As you can quickly verify, the public repo has been keep up to date, with commits almost every day, and that's because it is our main repo as well.
All user interface is fully available in English, Spanish and Portuguese, as well as the in-line documentation.
There is also a commercial version of SequreISP, that comes with several modules adding extra(administrative) functionalities like a invoicing tools, notifications(via captive portal), videocahe, help desk, among others.
We have a growing community of commercial SequreISP users, but unfortunately there is no growing community from open source users and developers as well. So this email is an open invitation for this to change.
As a sysadmin and developer i can assure you that SequreISP solves a lot of complex problems with a neat and effective approach.
So if you are an ISP sysadmin or owner I really suggest you to give it a try.
If you are also a developer you can contribute with the project and the community, and you can even make money from this, ie. writing your own plug-in and selling it to our existing client database (like in an app store).
There is a lot of engineering and effort behind SequreISP and it is a shame and a waste that a lot of people are not using it simply because they don't know that it exists.
We are going to be also giving some SequreISP free conferences in August, in Buenos Aires[3], São Paulo[4] and Budapest[5] (following Ubiquiti World Conference scheduling, in order to ease access), so if you're going to this Ubiquiti events, or simply like to know us, consider yourself invited.
Thank you all for your time.
