CLI Options
Usage: awf [options] [command] [args...]
Network firewall for agentic workflows with domain whitelisting
Arguments:
args Command and arguments to execute (use -- to separate from options)
Options:
-V, --version output the version number
--allow-domains <domains> Comma-separated list of allowed domains. Supports wildcards and protocol prefixes:
github.com - exact domain + subdomains (HTTP & HTTPS)
*.github.com - any subdomain of github.com
api-*.example.com - api-* subdomains
https://secure.com - HTTPS only
http://legacy.com - HTTP only
--allow-domains-file <path> Path to file containing allowed domains (one per line or comma-separated, supports # comments)
--block-domains <domains> Comma-separated list of blocked domains (takes precedence over allowed domains). Supports wildcards.
--block-domains-file <path> Path to file containing blocked domains (one per line or comma-separated, supports # comments)
--log-level <level> Log level: debug, info, warn, error (default: "info")
--keep-containers Keep containers running after command exits (default: false)
--tty Allocate a pseudo-TTY for the container (required for interactive tools like Claude Code) (default: false)
--work-dir <dir> Working directory for temporary files (default: "/tmp/awf-1770083028012")
--build-local Build containers locally instead of using GHCR images (default: false)
--agent-image <value> Agent container image (default: "default")
Presets (pre-built, fast):
default - Minimal ubuntu:22.04 (~200MB)
act - GitHub Actions parity (~2GB)
Custom base images (requires --build-local):
ubuntu:XX.XX
ghcr.io/catthehacker/ubuntu:runner-XX.XX
ghcr.io/catthehacker/ubuntu:full-XX.XX
--image-registry <registry> Container image registry (default: "ghcr.io/github/gh-aw-firewall")
--image-tag <tag> Container image tag (default: "latest")
-e, --env <KEY=VALUE> Additional environment variables to pass to container (can be specified multiple times) (default: [])
--env-all Pass all host environment variables to container (excludes system vars like PATH) (default: false)
-v, --mount <host_path:container_path[:mode]> Volume mount (can be specified multiple times). Format: host_path:container_path[:ro|rw] (default: [])
--container-workdir <dir> Working directory inside the container (should match GITHUB_WORKSPACE for path consistency)
--dns-servers <servers> Comma-separated list of trusted DNS servers. DNS traffic is ONLY allowed to these servers (default: 8.8.8.8,8.8.4.4) (default: "8.8.8.8,8.8.4.4")
--proxy-logs-dir <path> Directory to save Squid proxy logs to (writes access.log directly to this directory)
--enable-host-access Enable access to host services via host.docker.internal. Security warning: When combined with --allow-domains host.docker.internal, containers can access ANY service on the host machine. (default: false)
--allow-host-ports <ports> Comma-separated list of ports or port ranges to allow when using --enable-host-access. By default, only ports 80 and 443 are allowed. Example: --allow-host-ports 3000 or --allow-host-ports 3000,8080 or --allow-host-ports 3000-3010,8000-8090
--ssl-bump Enable SSL Bump for HTTPS content inspection (allows URL path filtering for HTTPS) (default: false)
--allow-urls <urls> Comma-separated list of allowed URL patterns for HTTPS (requires --ssl-bump).
Supports wildcards: https://github.com/myorg/*
--enable-chroot Enable chroot to /host for running host binaries (Python, Node, Go, etc.)
Uses selective path mounts instead of full filesystem access.
Docker socket is hidden to prevent firewall bypass. (default: false)
-h, --help display help for command
Commands:
logs [options] View and analyze Squid proxy logs from current or previous runs
Installation
One-Line Installer (Recommended)
Linux (x64) with automatic SHA verification:
curl -sSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/github/gh-aw-firewall/main/install.sh | sudo bashThis installer:
- Downloads the latest release binary
- Verifies SHA256 checksum against
checksums.txt - Validates the file is a valid ELF executable
- Installs to
/usr/local/bin/awf
Manual Binary Installation (Alternative)
Linux (x64):
# Download binary and checksums
curl -fL https://github.com/github/gh-aw-firewall/releases/download/v0.13.1/awf-linux-x64 -o awf
curl -fL https://github.com/github/gh-aw-firewall/releases/download/v0.13.1/checksums.txt -o checksums.txt
# Verify checksum
sha256sum -c checksums.txt --ignore-missing
# Install
chmod +x awf
sudo mv awf /usr/local/bin/NPM Installation (Alternative)
# Install from tarball
npm install -g https://github.com/github/gh-aw-firewall/releases/download/v0.13.1/awf.tgzQuick Start
# Basic usage with domain whitelist
sudo awf --allow-domains github.com,api.github.com -- curl https://api.github.com
# Pass environment variables
sudo awf --allow-domains api.github.com -e GITHUB_TOKEN=xxx -- gh api /user
# Mount additional volumes
sudo awf --allow-domains github.com -v /my/data:/data:ro -- cat /data/file.txt
