I'm working on setting up a firewall + openvpn on a linux/systemd machine.
I have these pieces to the puzzle. Physical Ethernet interfaces, INT & EXT Virtual TUN/TAP interface Shorewall 4/6 OpenVPN Systemd controls the start/stop of Shorewall & OpenVPN. I'm confused at what's supposed to be controlling the up/down of the interfaces -- the OS? Shorewall? OpenVPN? Especially when OpenVPN or Shorewall gets restarted, what ORDER should all the dependencies be in? E.g., if I stop OpenVPN, should Shorewall be stopped before or after? What about the TUN interface? etc. In the docs and online I found bits and pieces but so far no good, kitchen-sink tutorial. I'd appreciate any good outlines, recommendations, pointers to tutorials etc. Dave ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Check out the vibrant tech community on one of the world's most engaging tech sites, Slashdot.org! http://sdm.link/slashdot _______________________________________________ Shorewall-users mailing list Shorewall-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/shorewall-users
