These manpages are for Shorewall 4.0 only. They describe features and options not available on earlier releases.
The docbook to manpage translation tool that we are using has some indentation issues which require us to choose between correct output of the man command and correctly-indented HTML. We've chosen in favor of the man command so some of the manpages accessed through the links below have indentation problems. We're working to resolve these issues and ask for your patience.
