<para>Shorewall requires that you have the
<command>iproute</command>/<command>iproute2</command> package installed
(on <trademark>RedHat</trademark>, the package is called
<command>iproute</command>). You can tell if this package is installed
by the presence of an <command>ip</command> program on your firewall
system. As <systemitem class="username">root</systemitem>, you can use
the <command>which</command> command to check for this program:
<programlisting>[root@gateway root]# <command>which ip</command>
/sbin/ip
[root@gateway root]#</programlisting> I recommend that you first read through
the guide to familiarize yourself with what's involved then go back
through it again making your configuration changes.</para>

<para>After you have <ulink url="Install.htm">installed
Shorewall</ulink>, locate the two-interfaces samples:</para>
<orderedlist>
<listitem>
<para>If you installed using an RPM, the samples will be in the
Samples/two-interfaces/ subdirectory of the Shorewall
documentation directory. If you don't know where the Shorewall
documentation directory is, you can find the samples using this
command:</para>

<warning>
<para><emphasis role="bold">Note to Debian and Ubuntu
Users</emphasis></para>
<para>If you install using the .deb, you will find that your
<filename class="directory">/etc/shorewall</filename> directory
is empty. This is intentional. The released configuration file
skeletons may be found on your system in the directory <filename
class="directory">/usr/share/doc/shorewall/default-config</filename>.
Simply copy the files you need from that directory to <filename
class="directory">/etc/shorewall</filename> and modify the
copies.</para>
</warning>
</listitem>
</orderedlist>
</important></para>
<para>As each file is introduced, I suggest that you look at the actual
file on your system and that you look at the <ulink
url="configuration_file_basics.htm#Manpages">man page</ulink> for that
file. For example, to look at the man page for the
<filename>/etc/shorewall/zones</filename> file, type <command>man
shorewall-zones</command> at a shell prompt.</para>
<para>Note: Beginning with Shorewall 4.4.20.1, there are versions of the
sample files that are annotated with the corresponding manpage contents.
These files have names ending in '.annotated'. You might choose to look at
those files instead.</para>
<para>Shorewall views the network where it is running as being composed of
a set of zones. In the two-interface sample configuration, the following
zone names are used:</para>
<para><programlisting>#ZONE TYPE OPTIONS IN OUT
# OPTIONS OPTIONS
fw firewall
net ipv4
loc ipv4</programlisting>Zones are defined in the <ulink
url="manpages/shorewall-zones.html"><filename
class="directory">/etc/shorewall/</filename><filename>zones</filename></ulink>
file.</para>
<para>Note that Shorewall recognizes the firewall system as its own zone -
when the /etc/shorewall/zones file is processed, the name of the firewall
zone is stored in the shell variable $FW which may be used to refer to the
firewall zone throughout the Shorewall configuration.</para>
<para>Rules about what traffic to allow and what traffic to deny are
expressed in terms of zones. <itemizedlist spacing="compact">
<listitem>
<para>You express your default policy for connections from one zone
to another zone in the <ulink
url="manpages/shorewall-policy.html"><filename
class="directory">/etc/shorewall/</filename><filename>policy</filename></ulink>
file.</para>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<para>You define exceptions to those default policies in the <ulink

file.</para>
</listitem>
</itemizedlist> For each connection request entering the firewall, the
request is first checked against the <filename
class="directory">/etc/shorewall/</filename><filename>rules</filename>
file. If no rule in that file matches the connection request then the
first policy in <filename
class="directory">/etc/shorewall/</filename><filename>policy</filename>
that matches the request is applied. If there is a <ulink
url="shorewall_extension_scripts.htm">common action</ulink> defined for
the policy in <filename>/etc/shorewall/actions</filename> or
<filename>/usr/share/shorewall/actions.std</filename> then that action is
performed before the action is applied. The purpose of the common action
is two-fold:</para>
<itemizedlist>
<listitem>
<para>It silently drops or rejects harmless common traffic that would
otherwise clutter up your log — Broadcasts for example.</para>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<para>If ensures that traffic critical to correct operation is allowed
through the firewall — ICMP <emphasis>fragmentation-needed</emphasis>
for example.</para>
</listitem>
</itemizedlist>
<para>The <filename
class="directory">/etc/shorewall/</filename><filename>policy</filename>
file included with the two-interface sample has the following policies:
<programlisting>#SOURCE DEST POLICY LOG LEVEL LIMIT:BURST
loc net ACCEPT
net all DROP info
all all REJECT info</programlisting>In the two-interface
sample, the line below is included but commented out. If you want your
firewall system to have full access to servers on the Internet, uncomment
that line. <programlisting>#SOURCE DEST POLICY LOG LEVEL LIMIT:BURST
$FW net ACCEPT</programlisting> The above policy will:
<itemizedlist>
<listitem>
<para>Allow all connection requests from your local network to the
Internet</para>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<para>Drop (ignore) all connection requests from the Internet to
your firewall or local network</para>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<para>Optionally accept all connection requests from the firewall to
the Internet (if you uncomment the additional policy)</para>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<para>reject all other connection requests.</para>
</listitem>
</itemizedlist> The word <firstterm>info</firstterm> in the LOG LEVEL
column for the DROP and REJECT policies indicates that packets dropped or
rejected under those policies should be <ulink
url="shorewall_logging.html">logged at that level</ulink>.</para>
<para>It is important to note that Shorewall policies (and rules) refer to
<emphasis role="bold">connections</emphasis> and not packet flow. With the
policies defined in the <filename
class="directory">/etc/shorewall/policy</filename> file shown above,
connections are allowed from the <emphasis>loc</emphasis> zone to the
<emphasis>net</emphasis> zone even though connections are not allowed from
the <emphasis>loc</emphasis> zone to the firewall itself.</para>
<para>Some people want to consider their firewall to be part of their
local network from a security perspective. If you want to do this, add
these two policies:</para>
<programlisting>#SOURCE DEST POLICY LOG LEVEL LIMIT:BURST
loc $FW ACCEPT
$FW loc ACCEPT</programlisting>
<para><inlinegraphic fileref="images/BD21298_.gif" format="GIF" /></para>
<para>At this point, edit your <filename
class="directory">/etc/shorewall/</filename><filename>policy</filename>
and make any changes that you wish.</para>

<para>The firewall has two network interfaces. Where Internet connectivity
is through a cable or <acronym>DSL</acronym> <quote>Modem</quote>, the
<emphasis>External Interface</emphasis> will be the Ethernet adapter that
is connected to that <quote>Modem</quote> (e.g., <filename

<emphasis>Point-to-Point Protocol</emphasis> over Ethernet
(<acronym>PPPoE</acronym>) or <emphasis>Point-to-Point Tunneling
Protocol</emphasis> (<acronym>PPTP</acronym>) in which case the External
Interface will be a <literal>ppp</literal> interface (e.g., <filename
class="devicefile">ppp0</filename>). If you connect via a regular modem,
your External Interface will also be <filename
class="devicefile">ppp0</filename>. If you connect via
<acronym>ISDN</acronym>, your external interface will be <filename
class="devicefile">ippp0</filename>.</para>
<caution>
<para>Be sure you know which interface is your external interface. Many
hours have been spent floundering by users who have configured the wrong
interface. If you are unsure, then as root type <command>ip route
ls</command> at the command line. The device listed in the last
(default) route should be your external interface.</para>

<section id="Addresses">
<title>IP Addresses</title>
<para>Before going further, we should say a few words about Internet
Protocol (<acronym>IP</acronym>) addresses. Normally, your
<acronym>ISP</acronym> will assign you a single Public IP address. This
address may be assigned via the Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol
(<acronym>DHCP</acronym>) or as part of establishing your connection when
you dial in (standard modem) or establish your <acronym>PPP</acronym>
connection. In rare cases, your <acronym>ISP</acronym> may assign you a
static <acronym>IP</acronym> address; that means that you configure your
firewall's external interface to use that address permanently. However
your external address is assigned, it will be shared by all of your
systems when you access the Internet. You will have to assign your own
addresses in your internal network (the Internal Interface on your
firewall plus your other computers). <emphasis role="bold">RFC
1918</emphasis> reserves several <emphasis>Private</emphasis>
<acronym>IP</acronym> address ranges for this purpose: <programlisting>10.0.0.0 - 10.255.255.255
172.16.0.0 - 172.31.255.255
192.168.0.0 - 192.168.255.255</programlisting>You will want to assign your
addresses from the same sub-network (subnet). For our purposes, we can
consider a subnet to consists of a range of addresses <varname>x.y.z.0 -
x.y.z.255</varname>. Such a subnet will have a Subnet Mask of <systemitem
class="netmask">255.255.255.0</systemitem>. The address
<varname>x.y.z.0</varname> is reserved as the <emphasis>Subnet
Address</emphasis> and <varname>x.y.z.255</varname> is reserved as the
<emphasis>Subnet Broadcast Address</emphasis>. In Shorewall, a subnet is
described using <ulink url="shorewall_setup_guide.htm#Subnets">Classless
InterDomain Routing (CIDR) notation</ulink> with consists of the subnet
address followed by <varname>/24</varname>. The <quote>24</quote> refers
to the number of consecutive leading <quote>1</quote> bits from the left
of the subnet mask. <informaltable frame="all" label="Example sub-network"

<section id="SNAT">
<title>IP Masquerading (SNAT)</title>
<para>The addresses reserved by RFC 1918 are sometimes referred to as
<firstterm>non-routable</firstterm> because the Internet backbone routers
don't forward packets which have an RFC-1918 destination address. When one
of your local systems (let's assume computer 1 in the <link
linkend="Diagram">above diagram</link>) sends a connection request to an
Internet host, the firewall must perform <emphasis>Network Address
Translation</emphasis> (<acronym>NAT</acronym>). The firewall rewrites the
source address in the packet to be the address of the firewall's external
interface; in other words, the firewall makes it appear to the destination
Internet host as if the firewall itself is initiating the connection. This
is necessary so that the destination host will be able to route return
packets back to the firewall (remember that packets whose destination
address is reserved by RFC 1918 can't be routed across the Internet so the
remote host can't address its response to computer 1). When the firewall
receives a return packet, it rewrites the destination address back to
<systemitem class="ipaddress">10.10.10.1</systemitem> and forwards the
packet on to computer 1.</para>
<para>On Linux systems, the above process is often referred to as
<emphasis>IP Masquerading</emphasis> but you will also see the term
<emphasis>Source Network Address Translation</emphasis>
(<acronym>SNAT</acronym>) used. Shorewall follows the convention used with
Netfilter: <itemizedlist>

<para><emphasis>Masquerade</emphasis> describes the case where you
let your firewall system automatically detect the external interface
address.</para>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<para><emphasis><acronym>SNAT</acronym></emphasis> refers to the

outbound packets from your local network to use.</para>

<section id="DNAT">
<title>Port Forwarding (DNAT)</title>
<para>One of your goals may be to run one or more servers on your local
computers. Because these computers have RFC-1918 addresses, it is not
possible for clients on the Internet to connect directly to them. It is
rather necessary for those clients to address their connection requests to
the firewall who rewrites the destination address to the address of your
server and forwards the packet to that server. When your server responds,
the firewall automatically performs <acronym><link
linkend="SNAT">SNAT</link></acronym> to rewrite the source address in the
response.</para>
<para>The above process is called <emphasis>Port Forwarding</emphasis> or
<emphasis>Destination Network Address Translation</emphasis>
(<acronym>DNAT</acronym>). You configure port forwarding using
<acronym>DNAT</acronym> rules in the <filename
class="directory">/etc/shorewall/</filename><filename>rules</filename>
file.</para>
2011-01-07 19:27:35 +01:00
<para>For forwarding connections from the <emphasis>net</emphasis> zone to
a server in the <emphasis>loc</emphasis> zone, the general form of a
simple port forwarding rule in <filename

FTP(DNAT) net loc:10.10.10.1</programlisting> For
<acronym>FTP</acronym>, you will also need to have
<acronym>FTP</acronym> connection tracking and <acronym>NAT</acronym>
support in your kernel. For vendor-supplied kernels, this means that
the <filename class="libraryfile">ip_conntrack_ftp</filename> and
<filename class="libraryfile">ip_nat_ftp</filename> modules
(<filename>nf_conntrack_ftp</filename> and

<listitem>
<para>You must test the above rule from a client outside of your

<title>Domain Name Server (DNS)</title>
<para>Normally, when you connect to your ISP, as part of getting an IP

(<acronym>DNS</acronym>) resolver will be automatically configured (e.g.,
the <filename
class="directory">/etc/</filename><filename>resolv.conf</filename> file
will be written). Alternatively, your ISP may have given you the
<acronym>IP</acronym> address of a pair of <acronym>DNS</acronym> name
servers for you to manually configure as your primary and secondary name
servers. Regardless of how <acronym>DNS</acronym> gets configured on your
firewall, it is your responsibility to configure the resolver in your
internal systems. You can take one of two approaches: <itemizedlist
spacing="compact">
<listitem>
<para>You can configure your internal systems to use your ISP's name
servers. If your ISP gave you the addresses of their servers or if
those addresses are available on their web site, you can configure
your internal systems to use those addresses. If that information
isn't available, look in /etc/resolv.conf on your firewall system --
the name servers are given in "nameserver" records in that
file.</para>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<para><anchor id="cachingdns" /> You can configure a
<emphasis>Caching Name Server</emphasis> on your firewall.
<trademark>Red Hat</trademark> has an <acronym>RPM</acronym> for a
caching name server (the <acronym>RPM</acronym> also requires the
<command>bind</command><acronym>RPM</acronym>) and for Bering users,
there is <command>dnscache.lrp</command>. If you take this approach,
you configure your internal systems to use the firewall itself as
their primary (and only) name server. You use the internal
<acronym>IP</acronym> address of the firewall (<systemitem
class="ipaddress">10.10.10.254</systemitem> in the example above)
for the name server address. To allow your local systems to talk to
your caching name server, you must open port 53 (both
<acronym>UDP</acronym> and <acronym>TCP</acronym>) from the local
network to the firewall; you do that by adding the following rules
in <filename

<para><emphasis role="bold">You cannot test your firewall from the
inside</emphasis>. Just because you send requests to your firewall
external IP address does not mean that the request will be associated

with your local interface and will be treated as loc-&gt;fw
traffic.</para>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<para><emphasis role="bold">IP addresses are properties of systems,
not of interfaces</emphasis>. It is a mistake to believe that your
firewall is able to forward packets just because you can ping the IP
address of all of the firewall's interfaces from the local network.
The only conclusion you can draw from such pinging success is that the
link between the local system and the firewall works and that you
probably have the local system's default gateway set correctly.</para>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<para><emphasis role="bold">All IP addresses configured on firewall
interfaces are in the $FW (fw) zone</emphasis>. If 192.168.1.254 is
the IP address of your internal interface then you can write
<quote><emphasis role="bold">$FW:192.168.1.254</emphasis></quote> in a
rule but you may not write <quote><emphasis
role="bold">loc:192.168.1.254</emphasis></quote>. Similarly, it is
nonsensical to add 192.168.1.254 to the <emphasis

<listitem>
<para><emphasis role="bold">Reply packets do NOT automatically follow
the reverse path of the one taken by the original request</emphasis>.
All packets are routed according to the routing table of the host at
each step of the way. This issue commonly comes up when people install
a Shorewall firewall parallel to an existing gateway and try to use
DNAT through Shorewall without changing the default gateway of the
system receiving the forwarded requests. Requests come in through the
Shorewall firewall where the destination IP address gets rewritten but
replies go out unmodified through the old gateway.</para>

<section id="Wireless">
<title>Adding a Wireless Segment to your Two-Interface Firewall</title>
<para>Once you have the two-interface setup working, the next logical step
is to add a Wireless Network. The first step involves adding an additional
network card to your firewall, either a Wireless card or an Ethernet card
that is connected to a Wireless Access Point.<caution>
<para>When you add a network card, it won't necessarily be detected as
the next highest Ethernet interface. For example, if you have two
Ethernet cards in your system (<filename
class="devicefile">eth0</filename> and <filename
class="devicefile">eth1</filename>) and you add a third card that uses
the same driver as one of the other two, that third card won't
necessarily be detected as <filename
class="devicefile">eth2</filename>; it could rather be detected as
<filename class="devicefile">eth0</filename> or <filename
class="devicefile">eth1</filename>! You can either live with that or
you can shuffle the cards around in the slots until the new card is
detected as <filename class="devicefile">eth2</filename>.</para>
<para><emphasis role="bold">Update</emphasis>: Distributions are
getting better about this. <trademark>SuSE</trademark> now associates
a unique interface name with each MAC address. Other distributions
have add-on packages to manage the relationship between MAC addresses
and device names.</para>
</caution></para>
<para>Your new network will look similar to what is shown in the following
figure.<graphic align="center" fileref="images/basics2.png" /></para>
<para><inlinegraphic fileref="images/BD21298_.gif" format="GIF" /></para>
<para>The first thing to note is that the computers in your wireless
network will be in a different subnet from those on your wired local LAN.
In the above example, we have chosen to use the network 10.10.11.0/24.
Computers 3 and 4 would be configured with a default gateway IP address of
10.10.11.254.</para>
<para>Second, we have chosen to include the wireless network as part of
the local zone. Since Shorewall allows intra-zone traffic by default,
traffic may flow freely between the local wired network and the wireless
network.</para>
<para><inlinegraphic fileref="images/BD21298_.gif" format="GIF" /></para>
<para>There are only two changes that need to be made to the Shorewall
configuration:</para>
<itemizedlist>
<listitem>
<para>An entry needs to be added to
<filename>/etc/shorewall/interfaces</filename> for the wireless
network interface. If the wireless interface is <filename
class="devicefile">wlan0</filename>, the entry might look like:</para>
<programlisting>#ZONE INTERFACE BROADCAST OPTIONS
loc wlan0 detect maclist</programlisting>
<para>As shown in the above entry, I recommend using the <ulink
url="MAC_Validation.html">maclist option</ulink> for the wireless
segment. By adding entries for computers 3 and 4 in
<filename>/etc/shorewall/maclist</filename>, you help ensure that your
neighbors aren't getting a free ride on your Internet connection.
Start by omitting that option; when you have everything working, then
add the option and configure your
<filename>/etc/shorewall/maclist</filename> file.</para>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<para>You need to add an entry to the
<filename>/etc/shorewall/masq</filename> file to masquerade traffic
from the wireless network to the Internet. If your Internet interface
is <filename class="devicefile">eth0</filename> and your wireless
interface is <filename class="devicefile">wlan0</filename>, the entry
would be:</para>
<programlisting>#INTERFACE SUBNET ADDRESS
eth0 wlan0</programlisting>
</listitem>
</itemizedlist>
<para>One other thing to note. To get <trademark>Microsoft</trademark>
networking working between the wireless and wired networks, you will need
either a WINS server or a PDC. I personally use Samba configured as a WINS
server running on my firewall. Running a WINS server on your firewall
requires the rules listed in the <ulink url="samba.htm">Shorewall/Samba
