What is Shorewall?

-

The Shoreline Firewall, more commonly -known as "Shorewall", is a 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's -ipchains compatibility mode and can thus take advantage of Netfilter's -connection state tracking capabilities.
-
-Shorewall is not a daemon. Once Shorewall has configured -Netfilter, it's job is complete. After that, there is no Shorewall code -running although the /sbin/shorewall -program can be used at any time to monitor the Netfilter firewall.
-

-

Shorewall is not the easiest to use of -the available iptables configuration tools but I believe that it is the -most flexible and powerful. So if you are looking for a simple -point-and-click set-and-forget Linux firewall solution that requires a -minimum of networking knowledge, I would encourage you to check out the -following alternatives:

- -

On the other hand, if you are looking -for a Linux firewall solution that can handle complex and fast changing -network environments then Shorewall is a logical choice.
-

-

To see some of the many things that you -can do with Shorewall, see the Shorewall -Features page.
