That's what Leon said, shorewall is an iptables abstraction, and
iptables is a command that manipulates netfilter.
FirewallD is similar in that it abstracts and simplifies using netfilter
without using the iptables command. Which has a GUI that can be used
remotely but it is not web based as requested. Fedora's CoPilot
probably has a module for it, but I don't know that it can be used with
a CentOS based server. Webmin likely has a module for it by now.
