<p>The Shoreline Firewall, more commonly known as "Shorewall", is a
<a href="http://www.netfilter.org">Netfilter</a> (iptables) based firewall
that can be used on a dedicated firewall system, a multi-function
gateway/router/server or on a standalone GNU/Linux system.</p>

<h2>Thinking of Downloading this Site for Offline Browsing?</h2>
You may want to reconsider -- this site is <u><b>181 MB!!!</b></u>
and you will almost certainly be blacklisted before you download the
whole thing (my SDSL is only 384kbs so I'll have lots of time to catch
you). Besides, if you simply download the product and install it, you get
the essential parts of the site in a fraction of the time. And do you really
want to download:<br>
<ul>
<li>Both text and HTML versions of every post ever made on three
different mailing lists (67.5 MB)?</li>
<li>Every .rpm, .tgz and .lrp ever released for both Shorewall (92MB)?</li>
<li>The Shorewall 1.2 site (16.2MB).<br>
</li>
</ul>
You get all that and more if you do a blind recurive copy of this
site. Happy downloading!<br>

<p><b>11/09/2002 - Shorewall is Back at SourceForge</b><b> </b><b><img
border="0" src="images/new10.gif" width="28" height="12" alt="(New)">
</b></p>
<p>The Shorewall 1.3 web site is now mirrored at SourceForge on <a
href="http://shorewall.sf.net" target="_top">http://shorewall.sf.net</a>.<br>
</p>
<p><b>11/09/2002 - Shorewall 1.3.10</b><b> </b><b><img border="0"
src="images/new10.gif" width="28" height="12" alt="(New)">
</b></p>
<p>In this version:</p>
<ul>
<li>You may now <a href="IPSEC.htm#Dynamic">define the contents
of a zone dynamically</a> with the <a
href="starting_and_stopping_shorewall.htm">"shorewall add" and "shorewall
delete" commands</a>. These commands are expected to be used primarily
within <a href="http://www.xs4all.nl/%7Efreeswan/">FreeS/Wan</a>
updown scripts.</li>
<li>Shorewall can now do<a href="MAC_Validation.html"> MAC verification</a>
on ethernet segments. You can specify the set of allowed MAC addresses
on the segment and you can optionally tie each MAC address to one or more
IP addresses.</li>
<li>PPTP Servers and Clients running on the firewall system may
now be defined in the<a href="PPTP.htm"> /etc/shorewall/tunnels</a> file.</li>
<li>A new 'ipsecnat' tunnel type is supported for use when the
<a href="IPSEC.htm">remote IPSEC endpoint is behind a NAT gateway</a>.</li>
<li>The PATH used by Shorewall may now be specified in <a
href="Documentation.htm#Conf">/etc/shorewall/shorewall.conf.</a></li>
<li>The main firewall script is now /usr/lib/shorewall/firewall.
The script in /etc/init.d/shorewall is very small and uses /sbin/shorewall
to do the real work. This change makes custom distributions such as for
Debian and for Gentoo easier to manage since it is /etc/init.d/shorewall
that tends to have distribution-dependent code.</li>
</ul>
If you have installed the 1.3.10 Beta 1 RPM and are now upgrading to version
1.3.10, you will need to use the '--force' option:<br>
<blockquote>
<pre>rpm -Uvh --force shorewall-1.3.10-1.noarch.rpm</pre>
</blockquote>
<p><b>10/24/2002 - Shorewall is now in Gentoo Linux</b><a
href="http://www.gentoo.org"><br>
</a></p>
Alexandru Hartmann reports that his Shorewall package is now a part
of <a href="http://www.gentoo.org">the Gentoo Linux distribution</a>.

<p>In this version:<br>
</p>
<ul>
<li><a
href="configuration_file_basics.htm#dnsnames">DNS Names</a> are now
allowed in Shorewall config files (although I recommend against
using them).</li>
<li>The connection SOURCE may now be
qualified by both interface and IP address in a <a
href="Documentation.htm#Rules">Shorewall rule</a>.</li>
<li>Shorewall startup is now disabled
after initial installation until the file /etc/shorewall/startup_disabled
is removed. This avoids nasty surprises at reboot for users who
install Shorewall but don't configure it.</li>
<li>The 'functions' and 'version' files
and the 'firewall' symbolic link have been moved from /var/lib/shorewall
to /usr/lib/shorewall to appease the LFS police at Debian.<br>
