<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>

it is a wonderful piece of software. I've just sent out an email to about

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."
