I recently installed debian stretch on my router/firewall (fresh install including reformat). In jessie I simply had to set startup=1 in /etc/default/shorewall to have shorewall start my firewall at boot. In stretch setting startup=1 was not enough. I also had to manually enable shorewall init script with systemctl enable shorewall. I even had to replace allow-hotplug with auto on all nics in /etc/network/interfaces to have shorewall startup at boot. All is working as expected now but I did not find any of these requirements documented either in shorewall docs or in debian specific changes/docs.
I'm a very happy shorewall and debian user. Thanks for packaging the best firewall on the best linux distro :) On 20 November 2017 at 15:04, Roberto C.
