</small>Shorewall cannot:<br>
<ul>
<li>Be used to filter traffic through a Layer 2 Bridge</li>
<li>Act as a "Personal Firewall" that allows internet access by
application.</li>
<li>Be used with an Operating System other than Linux (version &gt;=
2.4.0)<br>
</li>
<li>Do content filtering -- better to use <a
href="Shorewall_Squid_Usage.html">Squid</a> for that.</li>
</ul>
In addition:<br>
<ul>
<li>Shorewall does not contain any support for Netfilter <span
style="font-style: italic;">Patch-O-Matic</span> features -- Shorewall
only supports features from released kernels.<br>
</li>
</ul>
