Hei all, continuing from last post about Shorewall now I’ll try to tell you all about how to install it. This installation consist of 2 installation, the first is Shorewall it self. Then the second is Webmin (Web GUI) for easily configuration purpose. In this case, I used Ubuntu Linux 9.10 Operating System. Before start the installation, you must set your apt source list to be enable connect to valid Ubuntu repository.

First step is you should go to your console terminal, then change to super user privileges.

meteor@galaxy:~$ sudo bash
[sudo] password for meteor:
root@galaxy:~#

Then run this command “apt-get install shorewall-common shorewall-shell” from your terminal, and please wait until all process finished

 root@galaxy:~# apt-get install shorewall-common shorewall-shell

Until this condition you’ve successfully install Shorewall on your machine. And now let’s install the Webmin as Configuration GUI tools. You should download its installer packet from Webmin official site and choose the suitable package with your system. In this case I use package that suitable for Ubuntu. After you download that file, just double-click that file and the installer is automatic run. Images below is screenshot the installation process.

#1 – Package Installer that already downloaded

#2 – Installation Confirmation

#3 – Administrative Grant Rights to Install Software

#4 – Installation on progress 1

#5 – Installation on progress 2 (Terminal view expanded)

#6 – Installation finished

After finish that process, you can test Webmin installation by opening it from your browser (ie, firefox) using this address https://localhost:10000/ If it’s installed properly, this screen below should displayed like this.

After that all installation process steps already done, and you can configure your Shorewall from this Webmin GUI to meet your requirements.

Note: login using your local username and password.
