    <title>Description</title>

    <para>The blacklist file is used to perform static blacklisting. You can
    blacklist by source address (IP or MAC), or by application.</para>

    <para>The columns in the file are as follows.</para>

    <variablelist>
      <varlistentry>
        <term><emphasis role="bold">ADDRESS/SUBNET</emphasis> - {<emphasis
        role="bold">-</emphasis>|<emphasis
        role="bold">~</emphasis><emphasis>mac-address</emphasis>|<emphasis>ip-address</emphasis>|<emphasis>address-range</emphasis>|<emphasis
        role="bold">+</emphasis><emphasis>ipset</emphasis>}</term>

        <listitem>
          <para>Host address, network address, MAC address, IP address range
          (if your kernel and ip6tables contain iprange match support) or
          ipset name prefaced by "+" (if your kernel supports ipset
          match).</para>

          <para>MAC addresses must be prefixed with "~" and use "-" as a
          separator.</para>

          <para>Example: ~00-A0-C9-15-39-78</para>

          <para>A dash ("-") in this column means that any source address will
          match. This is useful if you want to blacklist a particular
          application using entries in the PROTOCOL and PORTS columns.</para>
        </listitem>
      </varlistentry>

      <varlistentry>
        <term><emphasis role="bold">PROTOCOL</emphasis> (Optional) -
        {<emphasis
        role="bold">-</emphasis>|<emphasis>protocol-number</emphasis>|<emphasis>protocol-name</emphasis>}</term>

        <listitem>
          <para>If specified, must be a protocol number or a protocol name
          from protocols(5).</para>
        </listitem>
      </varlistentry>

      <varlistentry>
        <term><emphasis role="bold">PORTS</emphasis> (Optional) - {<emphasis
        role="bold">-</emphasis>|<emphasis>port-name-or-number</emphasis>[,<emphasis>port-name-or-number</emphasis>]...}</term>

        <listitem>
          <para>May only be specified if the protocol is TCP (6), UDP (17),
          DCCP (33), SCTP (132) or UDPLITE (136). A comma-separated list of
          destination port numbers or service names from services(5).</para>
        </listitem>
      </varlistentry>

      <varlistentry>
        <term>OPTIONS (Optional - Added in Shorewall 4.4.12) -
        {-|to|from|}</term>

        <listitem>
          <para>If specified, indicates whether traffic <option>to</option> or
          <option>from</option> the ADDRESS/SUBNET should be blacklisted. The
          default is <emphasis role="bold">from</emphasis>. If the
          ADDRESS/SUBNET column is empty, then this column has no effect on
          the generated rule.</para>

          <note>
            <para>Blacklisting is still restricted to traffic
            <emphasis>arriving</emphasis> on an interface that has the
            'blacklist' option set. So to block traffic from your local
            network to an internet host, you must specify
            <option>blacklist</option> on your internal interface in <ulink
            url="shorewall6-interfaces.html">shorewall6-interfaces</ulink>
            (5).</para>
          </note>

          <note>
            <para>Beginning with Shorewall 4.4.13, entries specifying
            <emphasis role="bold">to</emphasis> are applied to traffic based
            on the <emphasis role="bold">blacklist</emphasis> setting in
            <ulink
            url="shorewall6-interfaces.html">shorewall6-interfaces</ulink>(5).</para>

                (specified or defaulted). Traffic originating on the firewall

                that have the <emphasis role="bold">to</emphasis>

    <para>When a packet arrives on an interface that has the <emphasis
    role="bold">blacklist</emphasis> option specified in <ulink
    url="shorewall-interfaces.html">shorewall6-interfaces</ulink>(5), its
    source IP address and MAC address is checked against this file and
    disposed of according to the <emphasis

    role="bold">BLACKLIST_LOGLEVEL</emphasis> variables in <ulink
    url="shorewall.conf.html">shorewall6.conf</ulink>(5). If <emphasis
