Hello Dave
I read your announcement with great interest. Thank you very much for
your dedication to this cause. It has long been an open question what
the future holds for Shorewall since nftables came along. It would be a
terrible loss if Shorewall were to wither away as a result.
Hello Erich,
in a different environment besides from LEAF I am using FirewallBuilder
with good success and cooperation with guys that are not familiar with
CLI-stuff.
It's a common practice to use management tools that don't run on the
firewall itself. I'm familiar with this from commercial products
(CheckPoint), and I do the same for LEAF boxes in a different context: I
use XCA on my desktop to manage certificates for OpenVPN. It works
wonderfully.
Regards,
Boris

Hi Shorewall people!
...
Happy to provide support or see FRs via github infrastructure. If the
project gets legs at all, we will consider a docs site or other
further improvements.
It is a great achievement to continue the keep the shorewall interface
alive. We are using shorewall on a very small hardware footprint and I
am worrying about the hardware requirements for python and I would also
be worried to provide python on a firewall as it is a very powerful tool
if the user interface can be broken. So we might need to have a
shorewall-nft compiler on separate hardware.
regards
ET
