Re: [Shorewall-devel] [Shorewall-users] shorewall-init fails & 1 provider (vpn) interface unusable on boot -- but sys ends up fully up & running after boot anyway. why?

[PGNd <de...@pg...>]

Fwiw, as an experiment, I've removed shorewall-init completely.

I've cobbled up several manual firewall scripts/systemd units that I can stage from boot init through full 'up' state -- handling 'pre' & 'post' setup & exec for network, openvpn and shorewall.

It's not yet clean & tidy, but it's managing to boot without any errors as reported with shorewall-init in the loop.

Still need to test & verify the actual events on the boot timeline, but this works around, if not solves, the error issue.
