Hi

I had many times the same problem, even now I check 10 times to see if shorewall is runing,

I even add it startup in cron job to restart at boot. I use mostly redhat.

Regards

rcortes,

can you confirm if you have "STARTUP_ENABLED=Yes" in /etc/shorewall/shorewall.conf ?

Best regards.

Ok - what do the logs say after a reboot? One potential issue that might cause this is the status of any interfaces that are required but not ready when shorewall starts.

Hi Robert,

I'm using systemcl

systemctl enable shorewall after install package.

Thx.

Hi,

Hello everyone!

Somebody know why or how to fix shorewall for not need clear and start
after reboot?  i have EL7 and shorewall 5.1.12, previously working with
5.1.10 and try with 5.2.8-12 but shorewall start but nat/dnat/proxyarp
dont work.

Seems that your shorewall start is not working properly. Are you using a
shorewall package from epel? If so you could check the changelog to see
who has packaged it and ask directly?

Regards,
Simon
