<p>"The configuration is intuitive and flexible, and much easier than any
of the other iptables-based firewall programs out there. After sifting through
many other scripts, it is obvious that yours is the most well thought-out
and complete one available." -- BC, USA</p>
<p>"I just installed Shorewall after weeks of messing with ipchains/iptables
and I had it up and running in under 20 minutes!" -- JL, Ohio<br>
</p>
"My case was almost like [the one above]. Well. instead of 'weeks' it was
'months' for me, and I think I needed two minutes more:<br>
<ul>
<li>One to see that I had no Internet access from the firewall itself.</li>
<li>Other to see that this was the default configuration, and it was
enough to uncomment a line in /etc/shorewall/policy.<br>
</li>
</ul>
Minutes instead of months! Congratulations and thanks for such a simple
and well documented thing for something as huge as iptables." -- JV, Spain.
<p>"I downloaded Shorewall 1.2.0 and installed it on Mandrake 8.1 without
any problems. Your documentation is great and I really appreciate
your network configuration info. That really helped me out alot. THANKS!!!"
-- MM. </p>
<p>"[Shorewall is a] great, great project. I've used/tested may firewall
scripts but this one is till now the best." -- B.R, Netherlands
</p>
<p>"Never in my +12 year career as a sys admin have I witnessed someone
so relentless in developing a secure, state of the art, safe and useful
product as the Shorewall firewall package for no cost or obligation
involved." -- Mario Kerecki, Toronto </p>
<p>"one time more to report, that your great shorewall in the latest
release 1.2.9 is working fine for me with SuSE Linux 7.3! I now
have 7 machines up and running with shorewall on several versions -
starting with 1.2.2 up to the new 1.2.9 and I never have encountered
any problems!" -- SM, Germany</p>
<p>"You have the best support of any other package I've ever used."
-- SE, US </p>
<p>"Because our company has information which has been classified by the
national government as secret, our security doesn't stop by putting a fence
around our company. Information security is a hot issue. We also make use
of checkpoint firewalls, but not all of the internet servers are guarded
by checkpoint, some of them are running....Shorewall." -- Name withheld
by request, Europe</p>
<p>"thanx for all your efforts you put into shorewall - this product stands
out against a lot of commercial stuff i<>ve been working with in terms of
flexibillity, quality &amp; support" -- RM, Austria</p>
<p>"I have never seen such a complete firewall package that is so easy to
configure. I searched the Debian package system for firewall scripts and
Shorewall won hands down." -- RG, Toronto</p>
<p>"My respects... I've just found and installed Shorewall 1.3.3-1 and it
is a wonderful piece of software. I've just sent out an email to about
30 people recommending it. :-)<br>
While I had previously taken the time (maybe 40 hours) to really understand
ipchains, then spent at least an hour per server customizing and carefully
scrutinizing firewall rules, I've got shorewall running on my home firewall,
with rulesets and policies that I know make sense, in under 20 minutes."
