<title>What is Shorewall?</title>
<para>The Shoreline Firewall, more commonly known as
&#34;Shorewall&#34;, is high-level tool for configuring Netfilter. You
describe your firewall/gateway requirements using entries in a set of
configuration files. Shorewall reads those configuration files and with
the help of the iptables utility, Shorewall configures Netfilter to
match your requirements. Shorewall can be used on a dedicated firewall
system, a multi-function gateway/router/server or on a standalone
GNU/Linux system. Shorewall does not use Netfilter&#39;s ipchains
compatibility mode and can thus take advantage of Netfilter&#39;s
connection state tracking capabilities.</para>
