shorewall-snat5Configuration FilessnatShorewall SNAT/Masquerade definition file/etc/shorewall[6]/snatDescriptionThis file is used to define dynamic NAT (Masquerading) and to define
Source NAT (SNAT). It superseded shorewall-masq(5) in Shorewall
5.0.14.The entries in this file are order-sensitive. The first entry that
matches a particular connection will be the one that is used.If you have more than one ISP link, adding entries to this file
will not force connections to go out
through a particular link. You must use entries in shorewall-rtrules(5) or
PREROUTING entries in shorewall-mangle(5) to do
that.The columns in the file are as follows.ACTIONDefines the type of rule to generate. Beginning with Shorewall
5.1.9, with the exception of NFLOG and ULOG, the action may be
followed by a colon (":") and a log level
(see shorewall-logging(5)).Choices for ACTION are:action[+][(parameter,...)][:level]where action is an action
declared in shorewall-actions(5)
with the option. See https://shorewall.org/Actions.html for
further information.CONTINUE[+]:levelCauses matching packets to be exempted from any
following rules in the file.LOG:levelAdded in Shorewall 5.1.9. Simply log the packet and
continue with the next rule.MASQUERADE[+][([lowport[-highport]][])][:level]Causes matching outgoing packages to have their source
IP address set to the primary IP address of the interface
specified in the DEST column. if
lowport-highport
is given, that port range will be used to assign a source
port. If only lowport is given,
that port will be assigned, if possible. If option
is used then port mapping will be
randomized. MASQUERADE should only be used when the DEST
interface has a dynamic IP address. Otherwise, SNAT should be
used and should specify the interface's static address.NFLOG[(nflog-parameters)]Added in Shorewall 5.1.9. Queues matching packets to a
back end logging daemon via a netlink socket then continues to
the next rule. See shorewall-logging(5).The nflog-parameters are a
comma-separated list of up to 3 numbers:The first number specifies the netlink group
(0-65535). If omitted (e.g., NFLOG(,0,10)) then a value of
0 is assumed.The second number specifies the maximum number of
bytes to copy. If omitted, 0 (no limit) is assumed.The third number specifies the number of log
messages that should be buffered in the kernel before they
are sent to user space. The default is 1.NFLOG is similar to
LOG:NFLOG[(nflog-parameters)],
except that the log level is not changed when this ACTION is
used in an action or macro body and the invocation of that
action or macro specifies a log level.SNAT[+]([address-or-address-range][:lowport[-highport]][:random][:]|detect)[:level]If you specify an address here, matching packets will
have their source address set to that address. If
ADD_SNAT_ALIASES is set to Yes or yes in shorewall.conf(5)
then Shorewall will automatically add this address to the
INTERFACE named in the first column (IPv4 only).You may also specify a range of up to 256 IP addresses
if you want the SNAT address to be assigned from that range in
a round-robin fashion by connection. The range is specified by
first.ip.in.range-last.ip.in.range.
You may follow the port range with
:random in which case assignment of ports from the
list will be random. random
may also be specified by itself in this column in which case
random local port assignments are made for the outgoing
connections.Example: 206.124.146.177-206.124.146.180You may follow the port range (or :random) with :persistent. This is only useful when
an address range is specified and causes a client to be given
the same source/destination IP pair.You may also use the special value
which causes Shorewall to determine
the IP addresses configured on the interface named in the DEST
column and substitute them in this column.Finally, you may also specify a comma-separated list of
ranges and/or addresses in this column.DNS Names names are not allowed.Normally, Netfilter will attempt to retain the source
port number. You may cause netfilter to remap the source port
by following an address or range (if any) by ":" and a port
range with the format
lowport-highport. If
this is done, you must specify "tcp", "udp", "dccp" or "stcp"
in the PROTO column.Examples: 192.0.2.4:5000-6000
:4000-5000You may also specify a single port number, which will be
assigned to the outgoing connection, if possible.ULOG[(ulog-parameters)]IPv4 only. Added in Shorewall 5.1.9. Queues matching
packets to a back end logging daemon via a netlink socket then
continues to the next rule. See shorewall-logging(5).Similar to
LOG:ULOG[(ulog-parameters)],
except that the log level is not changed when this ACTION is
used in an action or macro body and the invocation of that
action or macro specifies a log level.Normally Masq/SNAT rules are evaluated after those for
one-to-one NAT (defined in shorewall-nat(5)). If you
want the rule to be applied before one-to-one NAT rules, follow the
action name with "+": This feature should only be required if you
need to insert rules in this file that preempt entries in shorewall-nat(5).SOURCE (Optional) -
[interface|address[,address...][exclusion]]Set of hosts that you wish to masquerade. You can specify this
as an address (net or host) or as an
interface. Unless you want to perform SNAT in
the INPUT chain (see DEST below), if you give the name of an
interface (deprecated), the interface must be up before you start
the firewall and the Shorewall rules compiler will warn you of that
fact. (Shorewall will use your main routing table to determine the
appropriate addresses to masquerade).The preferred way to specify the SOURCE is to supply one or
more host or network addresses separated by comma. You may use ipset
names preceded by a plus sign (+) to specify a set of hosts.DEST -
{interface[:digit][,interface[:digit]]...|$FW}[:[dest-address[,dest-address]...[exclusion]]Outgoing interfaces and destination
networks. Multiple interfaces may be listed when the ACTION is
MASQUERADE, but this is usually just your internet interface. If
ADD_SNAT_ALIASES=Yes in shorewall.conf(5), you
may add ":" and a digit to indicate that you
want the alias added with that name (e.g., eth0:0). This will allow
the alias to be displayed with ifconfig. That
is the only use for the alias name; it may not appear in any other
place in your Shorewall configuration.Beginning with Shorewall 5.1.12, SNAT may be performed in the
nat table's INPUT chain by specifying $FW rather than one or more
interfaces. Each interface must match an entry in shorewall-interfaces(5).
Shorewall allows loose matches to wildcard entries in shorewall-interfaces(5).
For example, ppp0 in this
file will match a shorewall-interfaces(5)
entry that defines ppp+.Where more that one
internet provider share a single interface, the provider is
specified by including the provider name or number in
parentheses: eth0(Avvanta)In that case, you will want to specify the interface's address
for that provider as the SNAT parameter.The interface may be qualified by adding the character ":"
followed by a comma-separated list of destination host or subnet
addresses to indicate that you only want to change the source IP
address for packets being sent to those particular destinations.
Exclusion is allowed (see shorewall-exclusion(5))
as are ipset names preceded by a plus sign '+';If you wish to inhibit the action of ADD_SNAT_ALIASES for this
entry then include the ":" but omit the digit: eth0(Avvanta):
eth2::192.0.2.32/27Comments may be attached to Netfilter rules generated from
entries in this file through the use of ?COMMENT lines. These lines
begin with ?COMMENT; the remainder of the line is treated as a
comment which is attached to subsequent rules until another ?COMMENT
line is found or until the end of the file is reached. To stop
adding comments to rules, use a line containing only
?COMMENT.PROTO (Optional) - {-|[!]{protocol-name|protocol-number}[,...]|+ipset}If you wish to restrict this entry to a particular protocol
then enter the protocol name (from protocols(5)) or number here. See
shorewall-rules(5) for
details.Beginning with Shorewall 4.5.12, this column can accept a
comma-separated list of protocols.Beginning with Shorewall 4.6.0, an
ipset name can be specified in this
column. This is intended to be used with
bitmap:port ipsets.PORT (Optional) -
{-|[!]port-name-or-number[,port-name-or-number]...|+ipset}If the PROTO column specifies TCP (6), UDP (17), DCCP (33),
SCTP (132) or UDPLITE (136) then you may list one or more port
numbers (or names from services(5)) or port ranges separated by
commas.Port ranges are of the form
lowport:highport.Beginning with Shorewall 4.6.0, an
ipset name can be specified in this
column. This is intended to be used with
bitmap:port ipsets.IPSEC (Optional) -
[option[,option]...]If you specify a value other than "-" in this column, you must
be running kernel 2.6 and your kernel and iptables must include
policy match support.Comma-separated list of options from the following. Only
packets that will be encrypted via an SA that matches these options
will have their source address changed.reqid=numberwhere number is specified using
setkey(8) using the 'unique:number option
for the SPD level.spi=<number>where number is the SPI of the SA
used to encrypt/decrypt packets.proto=ah|esp|ipcompIPSEC Encapsulation Protocolmss=numbersets the MSS field in TCP packetsmode=transport|tunnelIPSEC modetunnel-src=address[/mask]only available with mode=tunneltunnel-dst=address[/mask]only available with mode=tunnelstrictMeans that packets must match all rules.nextSeparates rules; can only be used with strictyesWhen used by itself, causes all traffic that will be
encrypted/encapsulated to match the rule.MARK - [!]value[/mask][:C]Defines a test on the existing packet or connection mark. The
rule will match only if the test returns true.If you don't want to define a test but need to specify
anything in the following columns, place a "-" in this field.!Inverts the test (not equal)valueValue of the packet or connection mark.maskA mask to be applied to the mark before testing.:CDesignates a connection mark. If omitted, the packet
mark's value is tested.USER (Optional) - [!][user-name-or-number][:group-name-or-number][+program-name]This column was formerly labelled USER/GROUP.Only locally-generated connections will match if this column
is non-empty.When this column is non-empty, the rule matches only if the
program generating the output is running under the effective
user and/or group
specified (or is NOT running under that id if "!" is given).Examples:joeprogram must be run by joe:kidsprogram must be run by a member of the 'kids'
group!:kidsprogram must not be run by a member of the 'kids'
group+upnpd#program named upnpdThe ability to specify a program name was removed from
Netfilter in kernel version 2.6.14.SWITCH -
[!]switch-name[={0|1}]Added in Shorewall 4.5.1 and allows enabling and disabling the
rule without requiring shorewall restart.The rule is enabled if the value stored in
/proc/net/nf_condition/switch-name
is 1. The rule is disabled if that file contains 0 (the default). If
'!' is supplied, the test is inverted such that the rule is enabled
if the file contains 0.Within the switch-name, '@0' and
'@{0}' are replaced by the name of the chain to which the rule is a
added. The switch-name (after '@...'
expansion) must begin with a letter and be composed of letters,
decimal digits, underscores or hyphens. Switch names must be 30
characters or less in length.Switches are normally off. To
turn a switch on:echo 1 >
/proc/net/nf_condition/switch-nameTo turn it off again:echo 0 >
/proc/net/nf_condition/switch-nameSwitch settings are retained over shorewall
restart.Beginning with Shorewall 4.5.10, when the
switch-name is followed by
or , then the switch is
initialized to off or on respectively by the
start command. Other commands do not affect the
switch setting.ORIGDEST - [-|address[,address]...[exclusion]|exclusion](Optional) Added in Shorewall 4.5.6. 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. It
is useful for specifying that SNAT should occur only for connections
that were acted on by a DNAT when they entered the firewall.This column was formerly labelled ORIGINAL DEST.PROBABILITY -
[probability]Added in Shorewall 5.0.0. When non-empty, requires the
Statistics Match capability in your kernel
and ip6tables and causes the rule to match randomly but with the
given probability. The
probability is a number 0 <
probability <= 1 and may be expressed
at up to 8 decimal points of precision.ExamplesIPv4 Example 1:You have a simple masquerading setup where eth0 connects to a
DSL or cable modem and eth1 connects to your local network with
