+Shorewall (Iptables Made Easy)
+
+The Shoreline Firewall, more commonly known as "Shorewall", is a
+Netfilter (iptables) based firewall that can be used on a dedicated
+firewall system, a multi-function gateway/router/server or on a
+standalone GNU/Linux system.
+
+This is the replacement for shorewall-common and shorewall-perl.
+Shorewall-shell support has been dropped from 4.4. If you are upgrading
+from versions 4.2 and below make sure you read the documentation, as a
+lot has changed.
