<title>Description</title>
<para>Entries in this file govern connection establishment by defining
exceptions to the policies layed out in <ulink
url="shorewall-policy.html">shorewall-policy</ulink>(5). By default,
subsequent requests and responses are automatically allowed using
connection tracking. For any particular (source,dest) pair of zones, the
rules are evaluated in the order in which they appear in this file and the
first terminating match is the one that determines the disposition of the
request. All rules are terminating except LOG and COUNT rules.</para>
<warning>
<para>If you masquerade or use SNAT from a local system to the internet,
you cannot use an ACCEPT rule to allow traffic from the internet to that
system. You <emphasis role="bold">must</emphasis> use a DNAT rule
instead.</para>
</warning>
<para>The rules file is divided into sections. Each section is introduced
by a "Section Header" which is a line beginning with SECTION and followed
by the section name.</para>
<para>Sections are as follows and must appear in the order listed:</para>
<variablelist>
<varlistentry>
<term><emphasis role="bold">ESTABLISHED</emphasis></term>
<listitem>
<para>Packets in the ESTABLISHED state are processed by rules in
this section.</para>
<para>The only ACTIONs allowed in this section are ACCEPT, DROP,
REJECT, LOG and QUEUE</para>
<para>There is an implicit ACCEPT rule inserted at the end of this
section.</para>
</listitem>
</varlistentry>
<varlistentry>
<term><emphasis role="bold">RELATED</emphasis></term>
<listitem>
<para>Packets in the RELATED state are processed by rules in this
section.</para>
<para>The only ACTIONs allowed in this section are ACCEPT, DROP,
REJECT, LOG and QUEUE</para>
<para>There is an implicit ACCEPT rule inserted at the end of this
section.</para>
</listitem>
</varlistentry>
<varlistentry>
<term><emphasis role="bold">NEW</emphasis></term>
<listitem>
<para>Packets in the NEW, INVALID and UNTRACKED states are processed
by rules in this section.</para>
</listitem>
</varlistentry>
</variablelist>
<note>
<para>If you are not familiar with Netfilter to the point where you are
comfortable with the differences between the various connection tracking
states, then it is suggested that you omit the <emphasis
role="bold">ESTABLISHED</emphasis> and <emphasis
role="bold">RELATED</emphasis> sections and place all of your rules in
the NEW section (That's after the line that reads SECTION NEW').</para>
</note>
<warning>
<para>If you specify FASTACCEPT=Yes in <ulink
url="shorewall.conf.html">shorewall.conf</ulink>(5) then the <emphasis
role="bold">ESTABLISHED</emphasis> and <emphasis
role="bold">RELATED</emphasis> sections must be empty.</para>
</warning>
<para>You may omit any section that you don't need. If no Section Headers
appear in the file then all rules are assumed to be in the NEW
section.</para>
<para>When defining rules that rewrite the destination IP address and/or
port number (namely DNAT and REDIRECT rules), it is important to keep
straight which columns in the file specify the packet before rewriting and
which specify how the packet will look after rewriting.</para>
<itemizedlist>
<listitem>
<para>The DEST column specifies the final destination for the packet
after rewriting and can include the final IP address and/or port
number.</para>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<para>The remaining columns specify characteristics of the packet
before rewriting. In particular, the ORIGINAL DEST column gives the
original destination IP address of the packet and the DEST PORT(S)
column give the original destination port(s).</para>
</listitem>
</itemizedlist>
<para>The columns in the file are as follows.</para>

<listitem>
<para>The name of a macro defined in a file named

<para>Example: FTP(ACCEPT).</para>
<para>The older syntax where the macro name and the target are
separated by a slash (e.g. FTP/ACCEPT) is still allowed but is
deprecated.</para>
<para>The <emphasis role="bold">ACTION</emphasis> may
optionally be followed by ":" and a syslog log level (e.g,
REJECT:info or DNAT:debug). This causes the packet to be
logged at the specified level. Note that if the <emphasis
role="bold">ACTION</emphasis> involves destination network
address translation (DNAT, REDIRECT, etc.) then the packet is
logged <emphasis role="bold">before</emphasis> the destination
address is rewritten.</para>

<para>You may also specify <emphasis
role="bold">ULOG</emphasis> or <emphasis
role="bold">NFLOG</emphasis> (must be in upper case) as a log
level.This will log to the ULOG or NFLOG target for routing to
a separate log through use of ulogd (<ulink
url="http://www.netfilter.org/projects/ulogd/index.html">http://www.netfilter.org/projects/ulogd/index.html</ulink>).</para>
<para>Actions specifying logging may be followed by a log tag
(a string of alphanumeric characters) which is appended to the
string generated by the LOGPREFIX (in <ulink
url="shorewall.conf.html">shorewall.conf</ulink>(5)).</para>
<para>Example: ACCEPT:info:ftp would include 'ftp ' at the end
of the log prefix generated by the LOGPREFIX setting.</para>

This requires that your kernel and iptables contain iprange match
support. If your kernel and iptables have ipset match support then
you may give the name of an ipset prefaced by "+". The ipset name
may be optionally followed by a number from 1 to 6 enclosed in

<para>Alternatively, clients may be specified by interface by

example, <emphasis role="bold">loc:eth1</emphasis> specifies a
client that communicates with the firewall system through eth1.

<para>It is important to note that when <emphasis

<para>If ACTION is <emphasis role="bold">DNAT</emphasis>[<emphasis

connections destined for that address will be forwarded to the IP

<para>A comma-separated list of addresses may also be used. This is
most useful with the <emphasis role="bold">REDIRECT</emphasis>
target where you want to redirect traffic destined for particular
set of hosts. Finally, if the list of addresses begins with "!"
(<emphasis>exclusion</emphasis>) then the rule will be followed only
if the original destination address in the connection request does
not match any of the addresses listed.</para>
<para>For other actions, this column may be included and may contain
one or more addresses (host or network) separated by commas. Address
ranges are not allowed. When this column is supplied, rules are
generated that require that the original destination address matches
one of the listed addresses. This feature is most useful when you
want to generate a filter rule that corresponds to a <emphasis
role="bold">DNAT-</emphasis> or <emphasis
role="bold">REDIRECT-</emphasis> rule. In this usage, the list of
addresses should not begin with "!".</para>
<para>It is also possible to specify a set of addresses then exclude
part of those addresses. For example, <emphasis
role="bold">192.168.1.0/24!192.168.1.16/28</emphasis> specifies the
addresses 192.168.1.0-182.168.1.15 and 192.168.1.32-192.168.1.255.

<para>Shorewall does not impose as much structure on the Netfilter
rules in the 'nat' table as it does on those in the filter table. As
a consequence, when using Shorewall versions before 4.1.4, care must
be exercised when using DNAT and REDIRECT rules with zones defined
with wildcard interfaces (those ending with '+'. Here is an
example:</para>
<para><ulink

fw firewall
net ipv4
dmz ipv4
loc ipv4</programlisting></para>
<para><ulink

net ppp0
loc eth1 detect
dmz eth2 detect
- ppp+ # Addresses are assigned from 192.168.3.0/24</programlisting></para>
<para><ulink
url="shorewall-hosts.html">shorewall-host</ulink>(8):<programlisting> #ZONE HOST(S) OPTIONS
loc ppp+:192.168.3.0/24</programlisting></para>
<para>rules:</para>
<programlisting> #ACTION SOURCE DEST PROTO DEST
# PORT(S)
REDIRECT loc 3128 tcp 80 </programlisting>
<simpara>Note that it would have been tempting to simply define the
loc zone entirely in shorewall-interfaces(8):</simpara>
<para><programlisting> #******************* INCORRECT *****************
#ZONE INTERFACE BROADCAST OPTIONS
net ppp0
loc eth1 detect
loc ppp+
dmz eth2</programlisting></para>
<para>This would have made it impossible to run a
internet-accessible web server in the DMZ because all traffic
entering ppp+ interfaces would have been redirected to port 3128 on
the firewall and there would have been no net-&gt;fw ACCEPT rule for
that traffic.</para>
