We're currently evaluating Shorewall [1] as a Firewall / iptables configuration tool.

Configuring iptables manually [2] works, but can get messy and thus is error prone. For our VPN server with its many customer VPNs, we are looking for a clearer solution that can be easily configured via configuration files. One of our developers has already used Shorewall and is impressed by the software. It was therefore a natural decision to take a look at it.

Initial experiments have gone well!
