I'm working on setting up a firewall + openvpn on a linux/systemd machine.
I have these pieces to the puzzle.
        Physical Ethernet interfaces, INT & EXT Virtual TUN/TAP interface       
Shorewall 4/6   OpenVPN
Systemd controls the start/stop of Shorewall & OpenVPN.
I'm confused at what's supposed to be controlling the up/down of the interfaces 
-- the OS?  Shorewall?  OpenVPN?
Especially when OpenVPN or Shorewall gets restarted, what ORDER should all the 
dependencies be in?
E.g., if I stop OpenVPN, should Shorewall be stopped before or after?  What 
about the TUN interface? etc.
In the docs and online I found bits and pieces but so far no good, kitchen-sink 
tutorial.
I'd appreciate any good outlines, recommendations, pointers to tutorials etc.
