This is a minor release of Shorewall that has a couple of new features.
|
|
|
|
New features include:
|
|
|
|
1) A new 'DNAT-' action has been added for entries in the
|
|
/etc/shorewall/rules file. DNAT- is intended for advanced users who
|
|
wish to minimize the number of rules that connection requests must
|
|
traverse.
|
|
|
|
A Shorewall DNAT rule actually generates two iptables rules: a
|
|
header rewriting rule in the 'nat' table and an ACCEPT rule in the
|
|
'filter' table. A DNAT- rule only generates the first of these
|
|
rules. This is handy when you have several DNAT rules that would
|
|
generate the same ACCEPT rule.
|
|
|
|
Here are three rules from my previous rules file:
|
|
|
|
DNAT net dmz:206.124.146.177 tcp smtp - 206.124.146.178
|
|
DNAT net dmz:206.124.146.177 tcp smtp - 206.124.146.179
|
|
ACCEPT net dmz:206.124.146.177 tcp www,smtp,ftp,...
|
|
|
|
These three rules ended up generating _three_ copies of
|
|
|
|
ACCEPT net dmz:206.124.146.177 tcp smtp
|
|
|
|
By writing the rules this way, I end up with only one copy of the
|
|
ACCEPT rule.
|
|
|
|
DNAT- net dmz:206.124.146.177 tcp smtp - 206.124.146.178
|
|
DNAT- net dmz:206.124.146.177 tcp smtp - 206.124.146.179
|
|
ACCEPT net dmz:206.124.146.177 tcp www,smtp,ftp,...
|
|
|
|
2) The 'shorewall check' command now prints out the applicable policy
|
|
between each pair of zones.
|
|
|
|
3. A new CLEAR_TC option has been added to shorewall.conf. If this
|
|
option is set to 'No' then Shorewall won't clear the current
|
|
traffic control rules during [re]start. This setting is intended
|
|
for use by people that prefer to configure traffic shaping when
|
|
the network interfaces come up rather than when the firewall
|
|
is started. By setting TC_ENABLED=Yes and CLEAR_TC=No and by
|
|
not supplying an /etc/shorewall/tcstart file, your traffic
|
|
shaping rules can still use the 'fw' classifier based on packet
|
|
marking defined in /etc/shorewall/tcrules.
