Hi. I am using Shorewall 5.2.8 on Debian Bookworm. I'm building a system to act 
as a VPN server in a hub and spoke topology where the clients connect to the 
sever and Shorewall is used to selectively allow traffic between clients. 
Therefore I am using routeback for my vpn tun interface.

At first glance it seems to work and the clients can ping each other. But I 
found that Shorewall rules have no impact on traffic when routeback is added. I 
tested this by adding a rule to reject traffic from a specific system to 
another specific system. But it cannot reject/drop the traffic. Without 
routeback I of course get sfilter drop messages in the logs.

So basically routeback is behaving like client-to-client would allowing 
inter-client communication unfettered by Shorewall. Why is routeback not having 
the desired effect of allowing me firewall traffic that is arriving and leaving 
on my vpn zone interface?

Thanks,
