VALLUM VALLUM a term applied either to the whole or a portion of the fortifications of a Roman camp. It is derived from callus (a stake), and properly means the palisade which ran along the outer edge of the top of the agger, but it very frequently includes the agger also. The vallum, in the latter sense, together with the fossa or ditch which surrounded the camp outside of the vallum, formed. The Vallum Restaurant & Chef’s Room team is dedicated to wonderful local produce sourced from the producers on our own site and from artisans within Vallum’s postcode, building our name on our use of robust, local produce in heart-warming dishes.
NEW ISSUE:VALLUM 18:1 'INVISIBILITY' Due to the pandemic, we are experiencing some shipping delays. We sincerely apologize and thank you so much for your patience and continued support! Sometimes the obvious is before us and we don't see anything. Something may or may not be present. At other times, we, ourselves, feel invisible. In our current world, people often fear that what is invisible is tangible, real, and perhaps a threat. At other times, the invisible may be something supernatural, a feeling, a movement to, or from, a dream-world. What are some of your encounters with the 'invisible'? We are very excited about the selection of work, and are proud to share it with you. This issue features an interview with Canisia Lebrun and excellent new poems by Leland James, Roxanna Bennett, George Elliott Clarke, Shazia Hafiz Ramji and more. The issue also includes poems from Vallum's Annual Poetry Award winners, j tate barlow, Mary Trafford , Esther Johnshon, Josh Fiet, and Michael Trussler, and sharp reviews by Bill Neumire and Jami Macarty.

'Poems don't give answers to anyone—they are words on a page that you read and interpret, raising questions you have to answer for yourself..Nowhere is this truer than in the 'Lies and Duplicity' issue of Vallum.' 'Surely there are words to encapsulate the whole of Vallum..an eclectic and colorful collection of original art, poetry, and essays that unravel the world from bizarre and fantastic perspectives .. a refreshing variety of style and range of voice.' 'What rewards and satisfies the most about the poems in Vallum is their use of language. I don't know how often I've read a journal containing poems of the same style that might have been written by the same poet. This is not true of Vallum where language is witty, startling, sardonic, obscene, often (and I can't believe I'm using this word) - lovely.' '…establishing this publication as one of the top poetry magazines in the country. The layout and design are fantastic, and the full-colour artwork is magnificent, both complementing the fabulous writing..a fabulous magazine, with the quality of a fine book.' 'This Canadian journal makes a bid to be international.' 'Vallum's mix of poetry, prose, and visual art is audacious and exciting.. If the vigorous writing in this journal is any indication it's only a matter of time before the world catches on.. This new magazine has a beautiful artistic look and feel.' 'An impressive lineup of poets.' 'Beautifully printed and not a little self-willed.' 'Vallum is passionate, ethereal, realistic and provocative, responding to change and movement of time, raising questions of the reader and proffering various solutions.' |

Introduction
Vallum Latin
Vallum is an application-layer content filter. It intercepts apps inbound and outbound connections and applies the corresponding firewall rules. This allows you to monitor your Mac's activity, block unwanted connections and increase your privacy and security.
Vallum is based on a macOS System Extension. Content filter is provided by a network extension using NEFilterDataProvider. This class handles network flows generated by apps running on macOS. Each flow is matched against a set of rules and then a verdict is applied and the flow is passed or dropped accordigly.
Vallum network extension filter is enabled when Vallum app is started and is disabled when Vallum app quits. The network filter runs in background and is capable of intercepting all third party apps connections and all system processes connections on macOS 11.2 and later.
Vallum can be configured to be inclusive, exclusive or interactive.By default Vallum runs as an interactive firewall, when an app wants to connect the connection is held and a popup notification alert is displayed. The alert is used to define a rule to be applied to this connection. Rule will match all app's connections or only some connections matching the IP address, hostname, domain or port. Once your choice is taken the connection is released and matched against the ruleset, then the flow is passed or blocked accordingly.
Rules are stored in a list and are persistent by default, but you can also create temporary rule that expire at a specific time or event. For example you can add a rule to pass all Safari connection that lasts today, or until next reboot, or until Safari quits.
All rules can be modified, moved or deleted, however Vallum tries to keep your rules in a specific order, rules are usually grouped by app. Vallum rules view's contextual menu offers several ways to modify, reorder and optimize your ruleset.
Each rule can be subject to one or more conditions. Rule can be matched only if conditions are met. Rule Conditions let you define different firewall behaviour for different network locations. For example you can block all inbound connections if you are not connected to your home wifi hotspot. Or you can block all outbound connections from apps used at work if VPN is not connected. And you can do this with a single firewall rule.
In the past days Mac firewalls used to define 'profiles', and automatically switch between profiles every time the location changed. This is not needed any more, you can deal with location changes without the need to switch firewall profile, you can have a unique ruleset that covers all your needs.
