+For me, using shorewall is much more simple than writting iptables

+for different hosts would be as simple.

+Some programs provide access control, but not all, and it is often more
+limited than what you can do with a firewall. It can also be more
+vulnerable in case of security issue in one of the services. So I think
+using a firewall might be better. Especially for build nodes where we
+don't know exactly what services will be installed in the chroot and
+maybe running during the builds.
