Shorewall is one of those rare well-designed, well-documented programs that lets you go from no knowledge, to reading documentation, to implementing the final solution seemlessly. When thinking about how to create IPtables rules for a tricky virtual server environment, I stumbled upon Shorewall. After following along with the documentation, creating the config files as I went, I was able to flip the switch to turn Shorewall on and my firewall behaved exactly as I intended, no trial and error required. Thank you for all the hard work on this project, I sincerely hope it continues to be supported by the community. Enjoy your travels Tom!
