I should also note that I consider the presence of the tunnels file to
be the worst design error in Shorewall. There is nothing done by entries
in that file that can't be done using entries in the rules file and if
people had to add rules to accommodate tunnel traffic, maybe they would
have a better notion of how to troubleshoot non-working tunnels. I
thought seriously about removing the file in Shorewall 2.2 but kept it
only because I didn't have the time and energy to rewrite all of the
tunnel documentation. I'll again consider making that change in 2.3/2.4.
