Dear Shorewall friends,
I have been using Shorewall for 20 years.
I find it very close to the simple description of network use cases,
ignoring the assembly-like language that can be seen on other products.
Thus we have a very readable and therefore very maintainable language.
Exactly. This is what I love about Shorewall, and OpenBSD's pf that I
used before it: its rules are human-readable. By contrast, the native
ipchains/iptables/netfilter/whatever rules interface exposed by Linux is
near-gibberish.
As I am more of an ops than a dev, without being a network expert, after
having tried coding with AIs like Chat, Claude, DeepSeek, maybe the
current development conditions are really ideal to allow the project to
be relaunched, mainly to bring it to NFTs, or to promote the resolution
of host names in the rules.
I'm not sure what you mean by this, but I personally do not trust ANY
code written by large language models.
