<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;">ipchains - the packet filter
facility built into the 2.2 Linux kernels. Also the name of the utility
program used to configure and control that facility. Netfilter can be
used in ipchains compatibility mode.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>iptables - the utility program used to configure and control
Netfilter. The term 'iptables' is often used to refer to the
combination of iptables+Netfilter (with Netfilter not in ipchains
compatibility mode).</p>
</li>
<li>iptables-restore - a utility program that used to configure and
control Netfilter. Unlike iptables, which performs only one operation
per execution, iptables-restore can configure an entire ruleset in one
execution. It takes much less time to configure a firewall using
iptables-restore than it does using iptables.<br>
<br>

<li>Shorewall-shell - the legacy Shorewall rules compiler written in
Bourne Shell. It generates a shell script that uses iptables to
configure the firewall.<br>
<br>
</li>
<li>Shorewall-perl - a Shorewall rules compiler written in Perl. It
generates a shell script that uses iptables-restore to configure the
firewall.<br>

<h3><a name="WhatIs"></a>What is Shorewall?</h3>
<p style="margin-left: 0.42in;">The Shoreline Firewall, more commonly
known
as "Shorewall", is a high-level tool for configuring Netfilter. You
describe
your firewall/gateway requirements using entries in a set of
configuration
files. Shorewall reads those configuration files and generates a shell
script. That shell script&nbsp; uses the
iptables or iptables-restore utility to configure Netfilter to match
your
requirements.
Shorewall can be used on a dedicated firewall system, a multi-function
gateway/router/server or on a standalone GNU/Linux system. Shorewall
does not
use Netfilter's ipchains compatibility mode; as a consequence,
Shorewall can
take advantage of Netfilter's connection state tracking capabilities to
create a stateful firewall.</p>
<p style="margin-left: 0.42in;">The current version of
Shorewall can configure both IPv4 and IPv6 firewalls.<br>
&nbsp;<br>
Shorewall is <u>not</u> a daemon. Once Shorewall has configured
Netfilter,
it's job is complete and there is no Shorewall code left running in the
system. The <a href="starting_and_stopping_shorewall.htm">/sbin/shorewall
program can be used at any time to monitor the Netfilter firewall</a>.</p>
<p style="margin-left: 0.42in;">Shorewall is not the easiest to use of
the
available iptables configuration tools but I believe that it is the
most
flexible and powerful. So if you are looking for a simple
point-and-click
set-and-forget Linux firewall solution that requires a minimum of
networking
knowledge, I would encourage you to check out the following
alternatives:</p>

<li>
<p><a href="http://www.fs-security.com/">Firestarter<br>
</a></p>
</li>
</ul>
<p style="margin-left: 0.42in;">On the other hand, if you are looking
for a
Linux firewall solution that can handle complex and fast changing
network
environments then Shorewall is a logical choice.</p>
<p style="margin-left: 0.42in;">To see some of the many things that you
can
do with Shorewall, see the <a href="shorewall_features.htm">Shorewall
