<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>

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</p>

was 'months' for me, and I think I needed two minutes more:<br>

enough to uncomment a line in /etc/shorewall/policy.<br>

|
|
any problems. Your documentation is great and I really appreciate your

network configuration info. That really helped me out alot. THANKS!!!"

useful product as the Shorewall firewall package for no cost or obligation

1.2.9 is working fine for me with SuSE Linux 7.3! I now have 7 machines

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

<p>"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</p>

<p>"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>
|
|
|
|
|
|
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."
