Shorewall (IPv6 support package for shorewall) The Shoreline Firewall, more commonly known as "Shorewall", is a Netfilter (iptables) based firewall that can be used on a dedicated firewall system, a multi-function gateway/router/server or on a standalone GNU/Linux system. As of version 4.5, shorewall consists of 3 packages: * shorewall-core, containing the common elements to both IPv4 and IPv6 components * shorewall, the IPv4 component * shorewall6, the IPv6 component The shorewall-core package is needed for both but now you can install the IPv6 packages without needing the IPv4 one if you are on aIV6 network only.
