Those rules are allowing incoming ping.

With ADMINISABSENTMINDED=Yes (which I recommend), all outgoing
connections are allowed and their responses are allowed while in stopped
state. If you have ADMINISABSENTMINDED=No, then the firewall is
stateless and you must add rules for both requests and responses.

Before the VPN interface can be usable, a VPN connection must be
established. If the Shorewall box is the server, that means that your
stopped rules must allow the incoming connection to be established.
