Costa Tsaousis (ktsaou) b10a8622cb Now it always saves the activated firewall to /var/spool/firehol and can quickly restore it at boot with the restore argument. Also, when calling stop is saves the firewall again, with their packet and bytes counters, so that when restored it continues where it left. So at boot it should be called with "restore" and at shutdown it should be called with "stop"

README 

FireHOL, an iptables stateful packet filtering firewall for humans!
FireQOS, a TC based bandwidth shaper for humans!

                        http://firehol.org/


Upgrade Notes
=============
From version 2.0.0-pre6, FireHOL adds combined IPv4/IPv6 support within
a single configuration.

If you are upgrading FireHOL from a version earlier than 2.0.0-pre6,
please read the upgrade notes, here:
   http://firehol.org/upgrade/


Installation
============
If you are installing direct from GitHub, please see:
  http://firehol.org/source-install/

If you are installing the package from a tar-files release, FireHOL uses
the GNU Autotools so you can get away with:
  ./configure && make && make install

Take a look at the file INSTALL, also.


Getting Started
===============
Configuration for FireHOL goes in /etc/firehol/firehol.conf
Configuration for FireQOS goes in /etc/firehol/fireqos.conf

In the examples directory, you can find examples for both programs.

To start the programs:
  firehol start
  fireqos start

For more details on the command-line options, see the man-pages:
  man firehol
  man fireqos

Read the tutorials on the website for more information and to learn
how to configure the programs:
  http://firehol.org/tutorial/

For detailed information on the configuration files, read the manual
online, or start with these the man-pages:
  man firehol.conf
  man fireqos.conf

You may want to ensure that FireHOL and FireQOS run at boot-time. If you
installed from an distribution package this will be configured in the
usual way.

For a tar-file installation, the binaries can often be linked directly
into /etc/init.d, since their options are SysVInit compatible. A systemd
service file for FireHOL can be found here:
  https://github.com/ktsaou/firehol/issues/17


Support and documentation
=========================
The main website is here:
   http://firehol.org/

To ask questions please sign up to the list:
   http://lists.firehol.org/mailman/listinfo/firehol-support

Man pages, PDF and HTML documentation are provided as part of the package
and can be found in the tarball or in your distribution's standard locations
(e.g. /usr/share/doc). The latest manual is always available here:
   http://firehol.org/manual/

The list of all services supported by FireHOL "out of the box" and
information on adding new services is here:
   http://firehol.org/services/
