    <title>Description</title>

    <para>Use this file to define Source NAT (SNAT). Requires Shorewall 4.5.14
    or later.</para>

    <warning>
      <para>The entries in this file are order-sensitive. The first entry that
      matches a particular connection will be the one that is used.</para>
    </warning>

    <warning>
      <para>If you have more than one ISP link, adding entries to this file
      will <emphasis role="bold">not</emphasis> force connections to go out
      through a particular link. You must use entries in <ulink
      url="/manpages6/shorewall6-rtrules.html">shorewall6-rtrules</ulink>(5)
      or PREROUTING entries in <ulink
      url="/manpages6/shorewall6-tcrules.html">shorewall-tcrules</ulink>(5) to
      do that.</para>
    </warning>

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

    <variablelist>
      <varlistentry>
        <term><emphasis role="bold">INTERFACE:DEST</emphasis> - {[<emphasis
        role="bold">+</emphasis>]<emphasis>interfacelist</emphasis>|[<emphasis
        role="bold">:</emphasis>[<emphasis>dest-address</emphasis>[<emphasis
        role="bold">,</emphasis><emphasis>dest-address</emphasis>]...[<emphasis>exclusion</emphasis>]]|?COMMENT}</term>

        <listitem>
          <para>Outgoing <emphasis>interfacelist</emphasis>. This may be a
          comma-separated list of interface names. This is usually your
          internet interface.</para>

          <para>Each interface must match an entry in <ulink
          url="/manpages6/shorewall6-interfaces.html">shorewall6-interfaces</ulink>(5).
          Shorewall allows loose matches to wildcard entries in <ulink
          url="/manpages6/shorewall6-interfaces.html">shorewall6-interfaces</ulink>(5).
          For example, <filename class="devicefile">ppp0</filename> in this
          file will match a <ulink
          url="/manpages6/shorewall6-interfaces.html">shorewall6-interfaces</ulink>(5)
          entry that defines <filename
          class="devicefile">ppp+</filename>.</para>

          <para>Where <ulink url="/4.4/MultiISP.html#Shared">more that one
          internet provider share a single interface</ulink>, the provider is
          specified by including the provider name or number in
          parentheses:</para>

          <programlisting>        eth0(Avvanta)</programlisting>

          <para>In that case, you will want to specify the interface's address
          for that provider in the ADDRESS column.</para>

          <para>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 <ulink
          url="/manpages6/shorewall6-exclusion.html">shorewall6-exclusion</ulink>(5))
          as are ipset names preceded by a plus sign '+'.</para>

          <para>Comments 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.</para>

          <para>Beginning with Shorewall 4.6.0, a new syntax is also accepted.
          With the exception of the leading '+', the interfacelist and
          qualifiers may appear within the parentheses of <emphasis
          role="bold">INLINE</emphasis>(...).</para>

          <para>Example:</para>

          <programlisting>        +INLINE(eth0)</programlisting>

          <para>When this is done, you may augment the rule generated by
          Shorewall with iptables matches of your own. These matches appear
          after a semicolon (';') at the end of the line.</para>

          <para>See example 2 below.</para>

        <listitem>
          <para>Set of hosts that you wish to SNAT; 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.</para>

        role="bold">detect</emphasis>|<emphasis
        role="bold">random</emphasis>]</term>

        <listitem>
          <para>If you do not specify an address or address range,
          masquerading will be performed. This requires <firstterm>Masquerade
          Target</firstterm> support in your kernel and ip6tables.</para>

          <para>If you specify an address here, SNAT will be used and this
          will be the source address.</para>

          <para>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
          <emphasis>first.ip.in.range</emphasis>-<emphasis>last.ip.in.range</emphasis>.
          You may follow the port range with<emphasis
          role="bold">:random</emphasis> in which case assignment of ports
          from the list will be random. <emphasis
          role="bold">random</emphasis> may also be specified by itself in
          this column in which case random local port assignments are made for
          the outgoing connections.</para>

          <para>Example:
          [2001:470:a:227::2]-[2001:470:a:227::10]:1000-1010</para>

          <para>You may follow the port range (or <emphasis
          role="bold">:random</emphasis>) with <emphasis
          role="bold">:persistent</emphasis>. This is only useful when an
          address range is specified and causes a client to be given the same
          source/destination IP pair.</para>

          <para>This column may not contain DNS Names.</para>

          <para>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
          <emphasis>lowport</emphasis>-<emphasis>highport</emphasis>. If this
          is done, you must specify "tcp" or "udp" in the PROTO column.</para>

          <para>Examples:</para>

          <programlisting>        [2001:470:a:787::2]:5000-6000</programlisting>

          <para>If you simply place <emphasis role="bold">NONAT</emphasis> in
          this column, no rewriting of the source IP address or port number
          will be performed. This is useful if you want particular traffic to
          be exempt from the entries that follow in the file.</para>
