    <para>Entries in this file cause traffic to be routed to one of the
    providers listed in shorewall-providers(5).</para>

    <para>The columns in the file are as follows.</para>

          <para>An ip address (network or host) that matches the source IP
          address in a packet. May also be specified as an interface name
          optionally followed by ":" and an address. If the device <emphasis
          role="bold">lo</emphasis> is specified, the packet must originate
          from the firewall itself.</para>

        <listitem>
          <para>You use OpenVPN (routed setup /tunX) in combination with

          interface(s) rather than through any of the providers. 10.8.0.0/24
          is the subnet chosen in your OpenVPN configuration (server 10.8.0.0
