I should have explained a bit more what I already did! I refollowed the provided link with the following steps: one generating the capabilities file on the firewall system then copying it along with shorewallrc to the administrative system. Then on the administrative system in the export directory(/usr/share I put the capabilities, shorewallrc files along with those copied from /usr/share/shorewall/configfiles. then I configured the zone interface policy stoppedrules masq along with the shorewall.conf modified as stated on the provided link. then I issued the command /sbin/shorewall load 192.168.88.1 and the output of it is: --- Processing /usr/share/shorewall/3700/params ... Processing /usr/share/shorewall/3700/shorewall.conf...
