Hi, I read the shorewall man page regarding the "reload" and "restart" commands. From a practical point of view and with default shorewall.conf settings in 5.1, if I change/add/delete entries in the "rules" file, and issue the "reload" command then I should expect the following:
- existing connections will not be affected - the "new rules" will be processed and applied Same thing should happen when changing entries in snat, mangle, routes, rtrules. The params file should also be re-read. Correct? So, with shorewall >=5.0.15, when would it be useful to issue the "restart" command? The only scenario I can think of is if I wanted to interrupt active connections (or at least preserve only those in "stoppedrules").
