The Shoreline Firewall, more commonly 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.

|
|
|
* shorewall-core, containing the common elements to both IPv4 and IPv6
|
|
|
|
|
components
|
2012-07-26 00:42:37 +02:00
|
|
|
* shorewall, the IPv4 component
|
|
|
|
|
* shorewall6, the IPv6 component
|
|
|
|

|
The shorewall-core package is needed for both but now you can install
|
|
|
|
|
the IPv6 packages without needing the IPv4 one if you are on aIV6
|
|
|
|
|
network only.
