Dear Shorewall friends,
I have been using Shorewall for 20 years.
I find it very close to the simple description of network use cases,
ignoring the assembly-like language that can be seen on other products.
Thus we have a very readable and therefore very maintainable language.
In short, I find it has many advantages over others available on all
Linux platforms, mainly Debian.
So, reading that Tom stopped maintaining the project in 2020, I wonder
if his window of opportunity is closed (not for me) or is it due to a
lack of development resources?
Many thanks to the team for carrying this wonderful tool for so long.
As I am more of an ops than a dev, without being a network expert, after
having tried coding with AIs like Chat, Claude, DeepSeek, maybe the
current development conditions are really ideal to allow the project to
be relaunched, mainly to bring it to NFTs, or to promote the resolution
of host names in the rules.
Am I really overoptimistic?
Thank you very much for your attention .
Jlem

I think the bigger issue is that Shorewall is more of an iptables
configuration tool. And iptables is now deprecated.
