Apologies for the long delay, I sort of lost track of this bug report. I have tried to reproduce this on a fresh Debian Stretch install (inside of a Qemu VM guest). I installed/configured shorewall and confirmed that there were iptables rules that had been made active. Then I did an rmmod on virtio_net, checked and saw that the rules were still active, then did a modprobe on virtio_net and again checked and found the rules still active. At this point I believe that the bug you encountered is either a result of a specific bug in the r8169 driver, or some other kernel bug. I doubt that it is a Shorewall bug, as Shorewall is not an active service, so it would not have a way to monitor the removal of the iptables rules. This, along with the age of your original bug report causes me to think that it should be closed. However, before I do that I wanted to give you the opportunity to comment or provide additional information that might allow reproducing the bug. Regards, -Roberto -- Roberto C.
