shorewall-tcrules5tcrulesShorewall Packet Marking rules file/etc/shorewall/tcrulesDescriptionEntries in this file cause packets to be marked as a means of
classifying them for traffic control or policy routing.Unlike rules in the shorewall-rules(5) file, evaluation
of rules in this file will continue after a match. So the final mark for
each packet will be the one assigned by the LAST tcrule that
matches.If you use multiple internet providers with the 'track' option, in
/etc/shorewall/providers be sure to read the restrictions at http://shorewall.net/MultiISP.html.Beginning with Shorewall 4.5.4, the tcrules file supports two
different formats:FORMAT 1 (default - deprecated)The older limited-function version of TPROXY is
supported.FORMAT 2The newer version of TPROXY is supported.The format is specified by a line as follows:
FORMAT {1|2}
The columns in the file are as follows (where the column name is
followed by a different name in parentheses, the different name is used in
the alternate specification syntax).ACTION (mark) -
markWhere mark may assume one of the
following values.A mark value which is an integer in
the range 1-255.Normally will set the mark value. If preceded by a
vertical bar ("|"), the mark value will be logically ORed with
the current mark value to produce a new mark value. If preceded
by an ampersand ("&"), will be logically ANDed with the
current mark value to produce a new mark value.Both "|" and "&" require Extended MARK Target support
in your kernel and iptables; neither may be used with connection
marks (see below).May optionally be followed by :P, :F,:T or
:I where
:P indicates that marking should occur in the
PREROUTING chain, :F indicates
that marking should occur in the FORWARD chain, :I indicates that marking should occur in
the INPUT chain (added in Shorewall 4.4.13), and :T indicates that marking should occur in
the POSTROUTING chain. If neither :P, :F
nor :T follow the mark value
then the chain is determined as follows:- If the SOURCE is $FW[:address-or-range[,address-or-range]...],
then the rule is inserted into the OUTPUT chain. When
HIGH_ROUTE_MARKS=Yes, only high mark values may be assigned
there. Packet marking rules for traffic shaping of packets
originating on the firewall must be coded in the POSTROUTING
chain (see below).- Otherwise, the chain is determined by the setting of
MARK_IN_FORWARD_CHAIN in shorewall.conf(5).Please note that :I is
included for completeness and affects neither traffic shaping
nor policy routing.If your kernel and iptables include CONNMARK support then
you can also mark the connection rather than the packet.The mark value may be optionally followed by "/" and a
mask value (used to determine those bits of the connection mark
to actually be set). The mark and optional mask are then
followed by one of:CMark the connection in the chain determined by the
setting of MARK_IN_FORWARD_CHAINCFMark the connection in the FORWARD chainCPMark the connection in the PREROUTING chain.CTMark the connecdtion in the POSTROUTING chainCIMark the connection in the INPUT chain. This option
is included for completeness and has no applicability to
traffic shaping or policy routing.Special considerations for If
HIGH_ROUTE_MARKS=Yes in shorewall.conf(5).If HIGH_ROUTE_MARKS=Yes, then you may also specify a value
in the range 0x0100-0xFF00 with the low-order byte being zero.
Such values may only be used in the PREROUTING chain (value
followed by :P or you have set
MARK_IN_FORWARD_CHAIN=No in shorewall.conf(5) and have not
followed the value with ) or the OUTPUT chain
(SOURCE is $FW). With
HIGH_ROUTE_MARKS=Yes, non-zero mark values less that 256 are not
permitted. Shorewall prohibits non-zero mark values less that
256 in the OUTPUT chain when HIGH_ROUTE_MARKS=Yes. While earlier
versions allow such values in the OUTPUT chain, it is strongly
recommended that with HIGH_ROUTE_MARKS=Yes, you use the
POSTROUTING chain to apply traffic shaping
marks/classification.A classification Id (classid) of the form
major:minor where
major and minor are
integers. Corresponds to the 'class' specification in these
traffic shaping modules: atm
cbq
dsmark
pfifo_fast
htb
prioClassification occurs in the POSTROUTING chain except when
the SOURCE is $FW[:address] in
which case classification occurs in the OUTPUT chain.When using Shorewall's built-in traffic shaping tool, the
major class is the device number (the first
device in shorewall-tcdevices(5) is
major class 1, the second device is major class 2, and so on)
and the minor class is the class's MARK
value in shorewall-tcclasses(5)
preceded by the number 1 (MARK 1 corresponds to minor class 11,
MARK 5 corresponds to minor class 15, MARK 22 corresponds to
minor class 122, etc.).Beginning with Shorewall 4.4.27, the classid may be
optionally followed by ':' and a capital letter designating the
chain where classification is to occur.FFORWARD chain.TPOSTROUTING chain (default).RESTORE[/mask] --
restore the packet's mark from the connection's mark using the
supplied mask if any. Your kernel and iptables must include
CONNMARK support.As in 1) above, may be followed by :P or :FSAVE[/mask] -- save
the packet's mark to the connection's mark using the supplied
mask if any. Your kernel and iptables must include CONNMARK
support.As in 1) above, may be followed by :P or :FCONTINUE Don't process
any more marking rules ‒in the table.As in 1) above, may be followed by :P or :F. Currently, CONTINUE may not be used
with exclusion (see the SOURCE and DEST
columns below); that restriction will be removed when
iptables/Netfilter provides the necessary support.SAME Some websites run
applications that require multiple connections from a client
browser. Where multiple 'balanced' providers are configured,
this can lead to problems when some of the connections are
routed through one provider and some through another. The SAME
target allows you to work around that problem. SAME may be used
in the PREROUTING and OUTPUT chains. When used in PREROUTING, it
causes matching connections from an individual local system to
all use the same provider. For example: #ACTION SOURCE DEST PROTO DEST
# PORT(S)
SAME:P 192.168.1.0/24 0.0.0.0/0 tcp 80,443
If a host in 192.168.1.0/24 attempts a connection on TCP port 80
or 443 and it has sent a packet on either of those ports in the
last five minutes then the new connection will use the same
provider as the connection over which that last packet was
sent.When used in the OUTPUT chain, it causes all matching
connections to an individual remote system to all use the same
provider. For example:#ACTION SOURCE DEST PROTO DEST
# PORT(S)
SAME $FW 0.0.0.0/0 tcp 80,443
If the firewall attempts a connection on TCP port 80 or 443 and
it has sent a packet on either of those ports in the last five
minutes to the same remote system then the new connection will
use the same provider as the connection over which that last
packet was sent.COMMENT -- the rest of
the line will be attached as a comment to the Netfilter rule(s)
generated by the following entries. The comment will appear
delimited by "/* ... */" in the output of shorewall
show mangleTo stop the comment from being attached to further rules,
simply include COMMENT on a line by itself.IPMARK ‒ Assigns a mark
to each matching packet based on the either the source or
destination IP address. By default, it assigns a mark value
equal to the low-order 8 bits of the source address. Default
values are:srcmask1 = 0xFFmask2 = 0x00shift = 0'src' and 'dst' specify whether the mark is to be based on
the source or destination address respectively. The selected
address is first shifted to the right by
shift bits. The result is then LANDed with
mask1 then LORed with
mask2.In a sense, the IPMARK target is more like an IPCLASSIFY
target in that the mark value is later interpreted as a class
ID. A packet mark is 32 bits wide; so is a class ID. The
<major> class occupies the high-order 16 bits and the
<minor> class occupies the low-order 16 bits. So the class
ID 1:4ff (remember that class IDs are always in hex) is
equivalent to a mark value of 0x104ff. Remember that Shorewall
uses the interface number as the <major> number where the
first interface in tcdevices has <major> number 1, the
second has <major> number 2, and so on.The IPMARK target assigns a mark to each matching packet
based on the either the source or destination IP address. By
default, it assigns a mark value equal to the low-order 8 bits
of the source address. The syntax is as follows:
[([{|}][,[mask1][,[mask2][,[shift]]]])]
Default values are:mask1 = 0xFFmask2 = 0x00shift = 0 and specify
whether the mark is to be based on the source or destination
address respectively. The selected address is first shifted
right by shift, then LANDed with
mask1 and then LORed with
mask2. The
shift argument is intended to be used
primarily with IPv6 addresses.Example:
IPMARK(src,0xff,0x10100)Suppose that the source IP address is 192.168.4.3 =
0xc0a80403; then0xc0a80403 >> 0 = 0xc0a804030xc0a80403 LAND 0xFF = 0x030x03 LOR 0x0x10100 = 0x10103 or class ID
1:103
It is important to realize that, while class IDs are
composed of a major and a
minor value, the set of values must
be unique. That is, the same numeric value cannot be used as
both a major and a
minor number for the same interface
unless class nesting occurs (which is not currently possible
with Shorewall). You should keep this in mind when deciding how
to map IP addresses to class IDs.For example, suppose that your internal network is
192.168.1.0/29 (host IP addresses 192.168.1.1 - 192.168.1.6).
Your first notion might be to use IPMARK(src,0xFF,0x10000) so as
to produce class IDs 1:1 through 1:6. But 1:1 is an invalid
class ID since the major and
minor classes are equal. So you might
chose instent to use IPMARK(src,0xFF,0x10100) as in the example
above so that all of your minor
classes will have a value > 256.DIVERTAdded in Shorewall 4.5.4 and only available when FORMAT is
2. Two DIVERT rule should preceed the TPROXY rule and should
select DEST PORT tcp 80 and SOURCE PORT tcp 80 respectively
(assuming that tcp port 80 is being proxied). DIVERT avoids
sending packets to the TPROXY target once a socket connection to
Squid3 has been established by TPROXY. DIVERT marks the packet
with a unique mark and exempts it from any rules that
follow.TPROXY(mark[,[port][,[address]]])
-- FORMAT 1Transparently redirects a packet without altering the IP
header. Requires a local provider to be defined in shorewall-providers(5).There are three parameters to TPROXY - only the first
(mark) is required:mark - the MARK value
corresponding to the local provider in shorewall-providers(5).port - the port on which
the proxy server is listening. If omitted, the original
destination port.address - a local (to the
firewall) IP address on which the proxy server is listening.
If omitted, the IP address of the interface on which the
request arrives.TPROXY([port][,address])
-- FORMAT 2Transparently redirects a packet without altering the IP
header. Requires a tproxy provider to be defined in shorewall-providers(5).There are three parameters to TPROXY - neither is
required:port - the port on which
the proxy server is listening. If omitted, the original
destination port.address - a local (to the
firewall) IP address on which the proxy server is listening.
If omitted, the IP address of the interface on which the
request arrives.TTL([-|+]number)Added in Shorewall 4.4.24.Prior to Shorewall 4.5.7.2, may be optionally followed by
:F but the resulting rule is
always added to the FORWARD chain. Beginning with Shorewall
4.5.7.s, it may be optionally followed by :P, in which case the rule is added to
the PREROUTING chain.If + is included, packets
matching the rule will have their TTL incremented by
number. Similarly, if - is included, matching packets have
their TTL decremented by number. If
neither + nor - is given, the TTL of matching packets
is set to number. The valid range of
values for number is 1-255.IMQ(number)Added in Shorewall 4.5.1. Specifies that the packet should
be passed to the IMQ identified by
number. Requires IMQ Target support
in your kernel and iptables.DSCP(dscp)Added in Shorewall 4.5.1. Sets the
Differentiated Services Code Point field
in the IP header. The dscp value may
be given as an even number (hex or decimal) or as the name of a
DSCP class. Valid class names and their associated hex numeric
values are: CS0 => 0x00
CS1 => 0x08
CS2 => 0x10
CS3 => 0x18
CS4 => 0x20
CS5 => 0x28
CS6 => 0x30
CS7 => 0x38
BE => 0x00
AF11 => 0x0a
AF12 => 0x0c
AF13 => 0x0e
AF21 => 0x12
AF22 => 0x14
AF23 => 0x16
AF31 => 0x1a
AF32 => 0x1c
AF33 => 0x1e
AF41 => 0x22
AF42 => 0x24
AF43 => 0x26
EF => 0x2eTo indicate more than one class, add their hex values
together and specify the result.May be optionally followed by ':' and a capital letter
designating the chain where classification is to occur.FFORWARD chain.TPOSTROUTING chain (default).TOS(tos[/mask])Added in Shorewall 4.5.1. Sets the Type of
Service field in the IP header. The
tos value may be given as an number
(hex or decimal) or as the name of a TOS type. Valid type names
and their associated hex numeric values are:Minimize-Delay => 0x10,
Maximize-Throughput => 0x08,
Maximize-Reliability => 0x04,
Minimize-Cost => 0x02,
Normal-Service => 0x00To indicate more than one class, add their hex values
together and specify the result.When tos is given as a number,
it may be optionally followed by '/' and a
mask. When no
mask is given, the value 0xff is
assumed. When tos is given as a type
name, the mask 0x3f is
assumed.The action performed is to zero out the bits specified by
the mask, then set the bits specified
by tos.May be optionally followed by ':' and a capital letter
designating the chain where classification is to occur.FFORWARD chain.TPOSTROUTING chain.SOURCE - {-|{interface|$FW}|[{interface|$FW}:]address-or-range[,address-or-range]...}[exclusion]May be:An interface name - matches traffic entering the firewall
on the specified interface. May not be used in classify rules or
in rules using the :T chain qualifier.A comma-separated list of host or network IP addresses or
MAC addresses. This form will not match
traffic that originates on the firewall itself unless either
<major><minor> or the :T chain qualifier is used in
the ACTION column.Examples:0.0.0.0/0192.168.1.0/24, 172.20.4.0/24An interface name followed by a colon (":") followed by a
comma-separated list of host or network IP addresses or MAC
addresses. May not be used in classify rules or in rules using
the :T chain qualifier.$FW optionally followed by a colon (":") and a
comma-separated list of host or network IP addresses. Matches
packets originating on the firewall. May not be used with a
chain qualifier (:P, :F, etc.) in the ACTION column.MAC addresses must be prefixed with "~" and use "-" as a
separator.Example: ~00-A0-C9-15-39-78You may exclude certain hosts from the set already defined
through use of an exclusion (see shorewall-exclusion(5)).DEST - {-|{interface|$FW}|[{interface|$FW}:]address-or-range[,address-or-range]...}[exclusion]May be:An interface name. May not be used in the PREROUTING chain
(:P in the mark column or no chain qualifier and
MARK_IN_FORWARD_CHAIN=No in shorewall.conf (5)). The
interface name may be optionally followed by a colon (":") and
an IP address list.A comma-separated list of host or network IP addresses.
The list may include ip address ranges if your kernel and
iptables include iprange support.Beginning with Shorewall 4.4.13, $FW may be specified by
itself or qualified by an address list. This causes marking to
occur in the INPUT chain.You may exclude certain hosts from the set already defined
through use of an exclusion (see shorewall-exclusion(5)).PROTO - {-|tcp:syn|ipp2p|ipp2p:udp|ipp2p:all|protocol-number|protocol-name|all}Protocol - ipp2p requires
ipp2p match support in your kernel and iptables.PORT(S) (dport) - [-|port-name-number-or-range[,port-name-number-or-range]...]Optional destination Ports. A comma-separated list of Port
names (from services(5)), port numbers or
port ranges; if the protocol is icmp, this column is interpreted as the
destination icmp-type(s). ICMP types may be specified as a numeric
type, a numberic type and code separated by a slash (e.g., 3/4), or
a typename. See http://www.shorewall.net/configuration_file_basics.htm#ICMP.If the protocol is ipp2p,
this column is interpreted as an ipp2p option without the leading
"--" (example bit for bit-torrent).
If no PORT is given, ipp2p is
assumed.An entry in this field requires that the PROTO column specify
icmp (1), tcp (6), udp (17), sctp (132) or udplite (136). Use '-' if
any of the following field is supplied.SOURCE PORT(S) (sport) -
[-|port-name-number-or-range[,port-name-number-or-range]...]Optional source port(s). If omitted, any source port is
acceptable. Specified as a comma-separated list of port names, port
numbers or port ranges.An entry in this field requires that the PROTO column specify
tcp (6), udp (17), sctp (132) or udplite (136). Use '-' if any of
the following fields is supplied.USER - [!][user-name-or-number][:group-name-or-number][+program-name]This optional column may only be non-empty if the SOURCE is
the firewall itself.When this column is non-empty, the rule applies 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.TEST - [!]value[/mask][:C]Optional - 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.LENGTH -
[length|[min]:[max]]Optional - packet Length. This field, if present allow you to
match the length of a packet against a specific value or range of
values. You must have iptables length support for this to work. A
range is specified in the form
min:max where either
min or max (but not both)
may be omitted. If min is omitted, then 0 is
assumed; if max is omitted, than any packet
that is min or longer will match.TOS -
tosType of service. Either a standard name, or a numeric value to
match.Minimize-Delay (16)
Maximize-Throughput (8)
Maximize-Reliability (4)
Minimize-Cost (2)
Normal-Service (0)CONNBYTES -
[!]min:[max[:{O|R|B}[:{B|P|A}]]]Optional connection Bytes; defines a byte or packet range that
the connection must fall within in order for the rule to
match.A packet matches if the the packet/byte count is within the
range defined by min and
max (unless ! is given in which case, a packet
matches if the packet/byte count is not within the range).
min is an integer which defines the beginning
of the byte/packet range. max is an integer
which defines the end of the byte/packet range; if omitted, only the
beginning of the range is checked. The first letter gives the
direction which the range refers to:
O - The original
direction of the connection.- The opposite direction from the original
connection.B - The total of both
directions.
If omitted, B is
assumed.The second letter determines what the range refers
to.
B - BytesP - PacketsA - Average packet
size.
If omitted, B is
assumed.HELPER -
helperNames a Netfiler protocol helper module
such as , ,
, etc. A packet will match if it was accepted
by the named helper module.Example: Mark all FTP data connections with mark

[probability]Added in Shorewall 4.5.0. 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.DSCP -
[[!]dscp]Added in Shorewall 4.5.1. When non-empty, match packets whose
Differentiated Service Code Point field
matches the supplied value (when '!' is given, the rule matches
packets whose DSCP field does not match the supplied value). The
dscp value may be given as an even number
(hex or decimal) or as the name of a DSCP class. Valid class names
and their associated hex numeric values are: CS0 => 0x00
CS1 => 0x08

the ipp2p module is unable to determine all packets in a connection
are P2P packets, we mark the entire connection as P2P if any of the
packets are determined to match.We assume packet/connection mark 0 means unclassified. #ACTION SOURCE DEST PROTO PORT(S) SOURCE USER TEST
