Package: shorewall-perl (4.0.15-1)

Shoreline Firewall, Netfilter configurator (Perl-based)

Shorewall allows you to describe your firewall/gateway requirements using entries in a set of configuration files. It reads those configuration files and, with the help of the iptables utility, configures Netfilter to match your requirements.

Shorewall supports a wide range of router/firewall/gateway applications, traffic shaping and almost every type of VPN.

This version of Shorewall includes a rule compiler written in Perl.
