Hello,
You might consider just moving to nftables instead of using convenience layers for iptables, which is on it's way out the door. I am strong with Shorewall. Only new to openSUSE and the packages here.
I can do Shorewall installation without the packages. I was hoping to use the distribution packages for making maintenance more simple.
It has flexibiltiy to do much and is working here many years now. And the documentation is very very good. Whatever works for you. Just thought i'd mention it.
I think iptables will still be here for some time. I'm sure people will continue to use iptables for many years/decades. That doesn't really contradict what i said. Maybe my slang is not 100% clear, but it's not important. And the Shorewall team has the future in its eyes too.
Their future has already happened in this dimension. :) nftables has been ready to use for some time, and has been supported by a GUI (firewalld) already for some time, as well. This may not matter for you, if you are happy with iptables and Shorewall. That's cool.
