<li><font size="3">"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"</font> -- ES, Phoenix AZ, USA.<br>

<br>
|
||
</li>
|
||
<li>"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<br>

and I had it up and running in under 20 minutes!" -- JL, Ohio<br>

|

<li>"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>

</li>

|

|

<ul>
|

<ul>

<li>One to see that I had no Internet access from the firewall itself.</li>
|
||
</ul>
|
||
|
||
<ul>
|
||
<li>Other to see that this was the default configuration, and it was
|
||
enough to uncomment a line in /etc/shorewall/policy.<br>

|

a simple and well documented thing for something as huge as iptables." --

<li>"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!!!"

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 </li>

|
||
<li>"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</li>

<ul>
|
||
<li>"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

out against a lot of commercial stuff i<>ve been working with in terms of

flexibillity, quality & support" -- RM, Austria</li>

<ul>
|
||
<li>"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</li>

|

<ul>
|
||
<li>"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>
|
||
<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."
