Description Răzvan Sandu 2014-11-06 12:22:57 UTC
Description of problem:

Tinc (http://www.tinc-vpn.org/) is a popular, cross-distro VPN solution that allows MESH networks. For RedHat family, it is available in Fedora EPEL.

According to documentation, tinc uses port 655 for its VPN interface (http://tinc-vpn.org/documentation/Example-configuration.html), probably both TCP and UDP

In order to allow its speedy usage on a larger number of systems, including production ones, please:

- add a specific, predefined macro for it under /usr/share/shorewall/

- specify, in shorewall's documentation, what type of VPN should be used for tinc's /dev/tun or /dev/tap interfaces, in /etc/shorewall/tunnels file



Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
shorewall-4.5.4-1.el6.noarch

Best regards,

Best way to get this included is to send email to:

Shorewall-users mailing list
Shorewall-users.net
https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/shorewall-users

Tom Eastep is very responsive.

Comment 2 Michele Baldessari 2016-11-29 15:32:06 UTC
Yes, please bring this up upstream and once it lands feel free to ping me and I will make sure it gets included.

Thanks,
Michele
