Re: [bwm-tools-tech] Getting started

Maybe you can read http://www.murder4al.be about my own experience with
bwm_tools.

But in general it comes to this.
- Open the example XML file located in /etc/bwm_tools and edit it to suit
your needs.
- Generate iptables ruleset from this xml file with bwm_firewall
- Get that ruleset active (possible editing by hand to merge it with an
existing ruleset) or by just loading it with iptables-restore
- Start 'bwmd --config=/path/to/xml/file
- Enjoy your shaping with bwm_monitor
