<p>The Shoreline Firewall, more commonly known as "Shorewall", is
a <a href="http://www.netfilter.org">Netfilter</a> (iptables) based
firewall that can be used on a dedicated firewall system, a multi-function
gateway/router/server or on a standalone GNU/Linux system.</p>

</a>Jacques Nilo and
Eric Wolzak have a LEAF (router/firewall/gateway on a floppy, CD
or compact flash) distribution called <i>Bering</i> that
features Shorewall-1.3.9b and Kernel-2.4.18. You can find

<h2>Thinking of Downloading this Site for Offline Browsing?</h2>
You might want to reconsider -- this site is <u><b>213 MB!!!</b></u>
and you will almost certainly be blacklisted before you download the whole
thing (my SDSL is only 384kbs so I'll have lots of time to catch you). Besides,
if you simply download the product and install it, you get the essential
parts of the site in a fraction of the time. And do you really want to download:<br>
<ul>
<li>Both text and HTML versions of every post ever made on three
different mailing lists (65 MB)?</li>
<li>Every .rpm, .tgz and .lrp ever released for both Shorewall
and Seawall (92MB and 10MB respectively)?</li>
<li>A 2.2.17-14 i586 RedHat Kernel RPM (6.9MB)?<br>
</li>
<li>Several ancient RPMs for courier-imap and maildrop (1.5MB).<br>
</li>
</ul>
You get all that and more if you do a blind recurive copy of this site.
Happy downloading!<br>

<p><b>11/09/2002 - Shorewall 1.3.10</b><b> </b><b><img border="0"
src="file:///home/teastep/Shorewall-docs/images/new10.gif" width="28"
height="12" alt="(New)">
</b></p>
<p>In this version:</p>
<ul>
<li>You may now <a href="IPSEC.htm#Dynamic">define the contents
of a zone dynamically</a> with the <a
href="starting_and_stopping_shorewall.htm">"shorewall add" and "shorewall
delete" commands</a>. These commands are expected to be used primarily within
<a href="http://www.xs4all.nl/%7Efreeswan/">FreeS/Wan</a> updown
scripts.</li>
<li>Shorewall can now do<a href="MAC_Validation.html"> MAC verification</a>
on ethernet segments. You can specify the set of allowed MAC addresses on
the segment and you can optionally tie each MAC address to one or more IP
addresses.</li>
<li>PPTP Servers and Clients running on the firewall system may
now be defined in the<a href="PPTP.htm"> /etc/shorewall/tunnels</a> file.</li>
<li>A new 'ipsecnat' tunnel type is supported for use when the
<a href="IPSEC.htm">remote IPSEC endpoint is behind a NAT gateway</a>.</li>
<li>The PATH used by Shorewall may now be specified in <a
href="Documentation.htm#Conf">/etc/shorewall/shorewall.conf.</a></li>
<li>The main firewall script is now /usr/lib/shorewall/firewall.
The script in /etc/init.d/shorewall is very small and uses /sbin/shorewall
to do the real work. This change makes custom distributions such as for Debian
and for Gentoo easier to manage since it is /etc/init.d/shorewall that tends
to have distribution-dependent code.</li>
</ul>
If you have installed the 1.3.10 Beta 1 RPM and are now upgrading to version
1.3.10, you will need to use the '--force' option:<br>
<blockquote>
<pre>rpm -Uvh --force shorewall-1.3.10-1.noarch.rpm</pre>
</blockquote>
<p><b>10/24/2002 - Shorewall is now in Gentoo Linux</b><a
href="http://www.gentoo.org"><br>
</a></p>
Alexandru Hartmann reports that his Shorewall package is now a part
of <a href="http://www.gentoo.org">the Gentoo Linux distribution</a>.

<p>In this version:<br>
</p>
<ul>
<li><a
href="configuration_file_basics.htm#dnsnames">DNS Names</a> are now
allowed in Shorewall config files (although I recommend against
using them).</li>
<li>The connection SOURCE may now be
qualified by both interface and IP address in a <a
href="Documentation.htm#Rules">Shorewall rule</a>.</li>
<li>Shorewall startup is now disabled
after initial installation until the file /etc/shorewall/startup_disabled
is removed. This avoids nasty surprises at reboot for users
who install Shorewall but don't configure it.</li>
<li>The 'functions' and 'version' files
and the 'firewall' symbolic link have been moved from /var/lib/shorewall
to /usr/lib/shorewall to appease the LFS police at Debian.<br>
