Yes, its only HTML based.

As I understood it, FCT generates some configuration files. This could be
done on every HTTP-Server with FCT installed, not nessecery on the bastion
or any other part of the firewall. Create the config-files offline, then
check them, and then install them on the firewall.

It is very usable. Jens has written a very good und usable tool.
Especially the work to define filter rules for all of the protocols should
not be underestimated. I will contact him (he's in  Germany, too). My
intention is debianize FCT, first in its pure HTML-Version.
