a) the only thing that shorewall don't know at the install is the
Internet interface. All the rest for a single PC is easy to
pre-configure. (policy/rules).
b) I'm looking to create a gui with python/tk. For the moment i had
designed a Novice gui (no nat/QOS/tunneling ...)
And this gui can easily switch to an "advanced" interface.
