  <para>Shorewall includes built-in support for a wide range of VPN solutions.
  If you have need for a tunnel type that does not have explicit support, you
  can generally describe the tunneling software using <quote>generic tunnels</quote>.</para>

    <title>Bridging two Masqueraded Networks</title>

    <para>Suppose that we have the following situation:</para>

    <graphic fileref="images/TwoNets1.png" />

    <para>We want systems in the 192.168.1.0/24 subnetwork to be able to
    communicate with the systems in the 10.0.0.0/8 network. This is
    accomplished through use of the /etc/shorewall/tunnels file, the
    /etc/shorewall/policy file and the /etc/shorewall/tunnel script that is
    included with Shorewall.</para>

    <para>Suppose that you have tunneling software that uses two different
    protocols:</para>

    <orderedlist numeration="loweralpha">
      <listitem>
        <para>TCP port 1071</para>
      </listitem>

      <listitem>
        <para>GRE (Protocol 47)</para>
      </listitem>

      <listitem>
        <para>The tunnel interface on system A is <quote>tun0</quote> and the
        tunnel interface on system B is also <quote>tun0</quote>.</para>
      </listitem>
    </orderedlist>

    <para>On each firewall, you will need to declare a zone to represent the
    remote subnet. We&#39;ll assume that this zone is called &#39;vpn&#39; and
    declare it in /etc/shorewall/zones on both systems as follows.</para>
