The Shoreline Firewall (also known as “Shorewall”), is a Netfilter (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. What is Shorewall?
Usually, you write a complicated set of firewall rules using /etc/sysconfig/iptables or shell scripts. However, with shorewall 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, iptables-restore, ip and tc utilities, Shorewall configures Netfilter and the Linux networking subsystem to match your requirements. Shorewall is not a simple and easy to use GUI tool.
