iptables is a giant hole in my Linux skills that I really must close!
There was a time I did hand-rolled iptables scripts, and very good they were too, even if I say so myself.
However, I had one to do for a client that involved a lot of very complicated stuff, including VPNs between a central office and 3 outlying offices. I took a long hard look at Shorewall, and started using that and OpenVPN.
It takes a little time to get ones head around it, but it's worth it. The documentation is just excellent.
Cheers, Laurie.
