<para>Shorewall includes support for UPnP (Universal Plug and Play) using
|
|
linux-igd (<ulink
|
|
url="http://linux-igd.sourceforge.net">http://linux-igd.sourceforge.net</ulink>).
|
|
UPnP is required by a number of popular applications including MSN
|
|
IM.</para>
|
|
|
|
<warning>
|
|
<para>From a security architecture viewpoint, UPnP is a disaster. It
|
|
assumes that:</para>
|
|
|
|
<orderedlist numeration="loweralpha">
|
|
<listitem>
|
|
<para>All local systems and their users are completely
|
|
trustworthy.</para>
|
|
</listitem>
|
|
|
|
<listitem>
|
|
<para>No local system is infected with any worm or trojan.</para>
|
|
</listitem>
|
|
</orderedlist>
|
|
|
|
<para>If either of these assumptions are not true then UPnP can be used
|
|
to totally defeat your firewall and to allow incoming connections to
|
|
arbitrary local systems on any port whatsoever. In short: USE UPnP
|
|
<emphasis role="bold">AT YOUR OWN RISK.</emphasis></para>

<para>You must also ensure that you have a route to 224.0.0.0/4 on your

internal (local) interface as described in the linux-igd

documentation.</para>

|
|

<title>Shorewall on a UPnP Client</title>
|
|
|
|
<para>It is sometimes desirable to run UPnP-enabled client programs like
|
|
<ulink url="http://www.transmissionbt.com/">Transmission</ulink>
|
|
(BitTorrent client) on a Shorewall-protected system. Shorewall provides
|
|
support for UPnP client access in the form of the <emphasis
|
|
role="bold">upnpclient</emphasis> option in <ulink
|
|
url="manpages/shorewall-interfaces.html">shorewall-interfaces</ulink>
|
|
(5).</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>The <emphasis role="bold">upnpclient</emphasis> option causes
|
|
Shorewall to detect the default gateway through the interface and to
|
|
accept UDP packets from that gateway. Note that, like all aspects of UPnP,
|
|
this is a security hole so use this option at your own risk.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>Note that when multiple clients behind the firewall use UPnP, they
|
|
must configure their applications to use unique ports.</para>
