Never used Shorewall and I'm sure your testament is not misplaced, Rodolfo.
But treating a firewall as a black box without understanding at least the
basic principles of the netfilter/iptables framework/syntax is not my cup of tea. Using Shorewall and then studying its scripts would be a good thing, though. I'm with Kevin who is taking a more studious approach.
