<para>"I have fought with IPtables for untold hours. First I tried
|
||
the SuSE firewall, which worked for 80% of what I needed. Then
|
||
gShield, which also worked for 80%. Then I set out to write my own
|
||
IPtables parser in shell and awk, which was a lot of fun but never got
|
||
me past the "hey, cool" stage. Then I discovered Shorewall.
|
||
After about an hour, everything just worked. I am stunned, and very
|
||
grateful" -- ES, Phoenix AZ, USA.</para>

<para>"The configuration is intuitive and flexible, and much

easier than any of the other iptables-based firewall programs out

yours is the most well thought-out and complete one available." --
