I'm on 16.04 and I tried installing shorewall-init and configuring /etc/default/shorewall-init per http://shorewall.net/Shorewall-init.html as well as setting safestop=1 in /etc/default/shorewall but was still able to ping my firewall's external IP for a couple seconds upon every reboot.
I had to change my /etc/systemd/system/shorewall.service from Wants=network-online.target After=network-online.target to Wants=network-pre.target Before=network-pre.target Once that was set, I was no long able to ping my firewall while it was booting up.
