<title>Description</title>
<para>Entries in this file govern connection establishment by defining
exceptions to the policies laid out in <ulink
url="/manpages/shorewall-policy.html">shorewall-policy</ulink>(5). By default,
subsequent requests and responses are automatically allowed using
connection tracking. For any particular (source,dest) pair of zones, the
rules are evaluated in the order in which they appear in this file and the
first terminating match is the one that determines the disposition of the
request. All rules are terminating except LOG and COUNT rules.</para>
<warning>
<para>If you masquerade or use SNAT from a local system to the internet,
you cannot use an ACCEPT rule to allow traffic from the internet to that
system. You <emphasis role="bold">must</emphasis> use a DNAT rule
instead.</para>
</warning>
<para>The rules file is divided into sections. Each section is introduced
by a "Section Header" which is a line beginning with [?]SECTION and
followed by the section name.</para>
<para>The optional "?" was added in Shorewalll 4.6.0 and is preferred.
Existing configurations may be converted to use this form using the
<command>shorewall update</command> command.</para>
<para>Sections are as follows and must appear in the order listed:</para>
<variablelist>
<varlistentry>
<term><emphasis role="bold">ALL</emphasis></term>
<listitem>
<para>This section was added in Shorewall 4.4.23. Rules in this

<term><emphasis role="bold">ESTABLISHED</emphasis></term>
<listitem>
<para>Packets in the ESTABLISHED state are processed by rules in
this section.</para>

<para>The only Actions allowed in this section are ACCEPT, DROP,
REJECT, LOG and QUEUE.</para>
<para>There is an implicit rule added at the end of this section

</listitem>
</varlistentry>
</variablelist>
<note>
<para>If you are not familiar with Netfilter to the point where you are
comfortable with the differences between the various connection tracking
states, then it is suggested that you omit the <emphasis
role="bold">ESTABLISHED</emphasis> and <emphasis
role="bold">RELATED</emphasis> sections and place all of your
non-blacklisting rules in the NEW section (That's after the line that
reads SECTION NEW').</para>
</note>
<warning>
<para>If you specify FASTACCEPT=Yes in <ulink
url="/manpages/shorewall.conf.html">shorewall.conf</ulink>(5) then the <emphasis
role="bold">ALL, ESTABLISHED</emphasis> and <emphasis
role="bold">RELATED</emphasis> sections must be empty.</para>
<para>An except is made if you are running Shorewall 4.4.27 or later and
you have specified a non-default value for RELATED_DISPOSITION or
RELATED_LOG_LEVEL. In that case, you may have rules in the RELATED
section of this file.</para>
</warning>
<para>You may omit any section that you don't need. If no Section Headers
appear in the file then all rules are assumed to be in the NEW
section.</para>
<para>When defining rules that rewrite the destination IP address and/or
port number (namely DNAT and REDIRECT rules), it is important to keep
straight which columns in the file specify the packet before rewriting and
which specify how the packet will look after rewriting.</para>
<itemizedlist>
<listitem>
<para>The DEST column specifies the final destination for the packet
after rewriting and can include the final IP address and/or port
number.</para>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<para>The remaining columns specify characteristics of the packet
before rewriting. In particular, the ORIGINAL DEST column gives the
original destination IP address of the packet and the DEST PORT(S)
column give the original destination port(s).</para>
</listitem>
</itemizedlist>
<para>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).</para>

<term>HELPER</term>
<listitem>
<para>Added in Shorewall 4.5.7. This action requires that the
HELPER column contains the name of the Netfilter helper to be
associated with connections matching this connection. May only
be specified in the NEW section and is useful for being able
to specify a helper when the applicable policy is ACCEPT. No
destination zone should be specified in HELPER rules.</para>
</listitem>
</varlistentry>
<varlistentry>
<term><emphasis
role="bold">INLINE</emphasis>[(<replaceable>action</replaceable>)]</term>
<listitem>
<para>Added in Shorewall 4.5.16. This action allows you to
construct most of the rule yourself using iptables syntax. The
part that you specify must follow a semicolon (';') and is
completely free-form. If the target of the rule (the part
following 'j') is something that Shorewall supports in the
ACTION column, then you may enclose it in parentheses (e.g.,
INLINE(ACCEPT)). Otherwise, you can include it after the
semicolon. In this case, you must declare the target as a
builtin action in <ulink
url="/manpages/shorewall-actions.html">shorewall-actions</ulink>(5).</para>
<para>Some considerations when using INLINE:</para>
<itemizedlist>
<listitem>
<para>The <option>p</option>, <option>s</option>,
<option>d</option>, <option>i</option>,
<option>o</option>, <option>policy</option>, and state
match (<option>state</option> or <option>conntrack
--ctstate</option>) matches will always appear in the
front of the rule in that order.</para>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<para>When multiple matches are specified, the compiler
will keep them in the order in which they appear
(excluding the above listed ones), but they will not
necessarily be at the end of the generated rule. For
example, if addresses are specified in the SOURCE and/or
DEST columns, their generated matches will appear after
those specified using ';'.</para>
</listitem>
</itemizedlist>
</listitem>
</varlistentry>
<varlistentry>
<term>IPTABLES({<replaceable>target</replaceable>
[<replaceable>option</replaceable> ...])</term>
<listitem>
<para>This action allows you to specify an iptables target
with options (e.g., 'IPTABLES(MARK --set-xmark 0x01/0xff)'. If
the target is not one recognized by Shorewall, the following
error message will be issued:</para>
<simplelist>
<member>ERROR: Unknown target
(<replaceable>target</replaceable>)</member>
</simplelist>
<para>This error message may be eliminated by adding the
<replaceable>target</replaceable> as a builtin action in
<ulink

<term><emphasis>macro</emphasis><emphasis
role="bold">[(<replaceable>macrotarget</replaceable>)]</emphasis></term>
<listitem>
<para>The name of a macro defined in a file named
macro.<emphasis>macro</emphasis>. If the macro accepts an
action parameter (Look at the macro source to see if it has
PARAM in the TARGET column) then the
<emphasis>macro</emphasis> name is followed by the
parenthesized <emphasis>macrotarget</emphasis> (<emphasis

<para>The <replaceable>target</replaceable> may optionally be

<para>Added in Shorewall 4.4.24 and allows enabling and disabling
the rule without requiring <command>shorewall
restart</command>.</para>
<para>The rule is enabled if the value stored in
<filename>/proc/net/nf_condition/<replaceable>switch-name</replaceable></filename>
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.</para>
<para>Within the <replaceable>switch-name</replaceable>, '@0' and
'@{0}' are replaced by the name of the chain to which the rule is a
added. The <replaceable>switch-name</replaceable> (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.</para>
<para>Switches are normally <emphasis role="bold">off</emphasis>. To
turn a switch <emphasis role="bold">on</emphasis>:</para>
<simplelist>
<member><command>echo 1 &gt;

<simplelist>
<member><command>echo 0 &gt;
/proc/net/nf_condition/<replaceable>switch-name</replaceable></command></member>
</simplelist>
<para>Switch settings are retained over <command>shorewall
restart</command>.</para>
<para>Beginning with Shorewall 4.5.10, when the
<replaceable>switch-name</replaceable> is followed by
<option>=0</option> or <option>=1</option>, then the switch is
initialized to off or on respectively by the
<command>start</command> command. Other commands do not affect the
switch setting.</para>

<term>Example 9:</term>
<listitem>
<para>Shorewall does not impose as much structure on the Netfilter
rules in the 'nat' table as it does on those in the filter table. As
a consequence, when using Shorewall versions before 4.1.4, care must
be exercised when using DNAT and REDIRECT rules with zones defined
with wildcard interfaces (those ending with '+'. Here is an
example:</para>
<para><ulink
url="/manpages/shorewall-zones.html">shorewall-zones</ulink>(5):<programlisting> #ZONE TYPE OPTIONS
fw firewall
net ipv4
dmz ipv4
loc ipv4</programlisting></para>
<para><ulink
url="/manpages/shorewall-interfaces.html">shorewall-interfaces</ulink>(5):<programlisting> #ZONE INTERFACE BROADCAST OPTIONS
net ppp0
loc eth1 detect
dmz eth2 detect
- ppp+ # Addresses are assigned from 192.168.3.0/24</programlisting></para>
<para><ulink
url="/manpages/shorewall-hosts.html">shorewall-host</ulink>(5):<programlisting> #ZONE HOST(S) OPTIONS
loc ppp+:192.168.3.0/24</programlisting></para>
<para>rules:</para>
<programlisting> #ACTION SOURCE DEST PROTO DEST
# PORT(S)
REDIRECT loc 3128 tcp 80 </programlisting>
<simpara>Note that it would have been tempting to simply define the
loc zone entirely in shorewall-interfaces(8):</simpara>
<para><programlisting> #******************* INCORRECT *****************
#ZONE INTERFACE BROADCAST OPTIONS
net ppp0
loc eth1 detect
loc ppp+
dmz eth2</programlisting></para>
<para>This would have made it impossible to run a
internet-accessible web server in the DMZ because all traffic
entering ppp+ interfaces would have been redirected to port 3128 on
the firewall and there would have been no net-&gt;fw ACCEPT rule for
that traffic.</para>
