Quick question...

I'm running Shorewall on my Proxmox, will the new Proxmox firewall have any effect on this setup ?

I presume that both are front ends for iptables but better safe than sorry.

Thanks
 
I've been using Shorewall with Proxmox for years but now when I get

Code:
shorewall restart
Compiling...
Processing /etc/shorewall/params ...
Processing /etc/shorewall/shorewall.conf...

It hangs there. I have to ctrl-c three times to get it to continue. Each time I get this in syslog

Code:
kernel: Can't find ip_set type hash:ip

A search for that error produces nothing, it's like it's an error that doesn't exist !

I'm unable to alter my shorewall configuration because of this, and I have to say I'm quite concerned about the result of a reboot.

Any ideas ?

No one have any idea about this ? I've never had any problems with Shorewall until the recent update
 
I have several Proxmox VE servers with shorewall upgraded to 3.3, no issues here. I plan to move these from shorewall to Proxmox VE firewall step by step.
