Some things that
Shorewall Cannot Do
|
Shorewall cannot:
- Be used to filter traffic through a Layer 2 Bridge
- Act as a "Personal Firewall" that allows internet access by
application.
- Be used with an Operating System other than Linux (version >=
2.4.0)
- Do content filtering -- better to use Squid for that.
In addition:
- Shorewall does not contain any support for Netfilter Patch-O-Matic features -- Shorewall
only supports features from released kernels.
