<title>(FAQ 76) I just upgraded my Debian (or Debian-derivative such as
Ubuntu) system and now masquerading doesn work? What happened?</title>
<para><emphasis role="bold">Answer:</emphasis> This happens to people
who ignore <ulink url="Install.htm#Upgrade_Deb">our advice</ulink> and
allow the installer to replace their working
<filename>/etc/shorewall/shorewall.conf</filename> with one that has
default settings. Failure to forward traffic (such as during
masquerading net access from a local network) usually means that <ulink
url="???">/etc/shorewall/shorewall.conf</ulink> contains the Debian
default setting IP_FORWARDING=Keep; it should be
IP_FORWARDING=On.</para>
