<h1 style="text-align: center;">Standalone Firewall<br>
|
|
</h1>
|
|
<p align="left">Setting up Shorewall on a standalone Linux system is
|
|
very easy if you understand the basics and follow the documentation.</p>
|
|
<p>This guide doesn't attempt to acquaint you with all of the features
|
|
of Shorewall. It rather focuses on what is required to configure
|
|
Shorewall in one of its most common configurations:</p>
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>Linux system</li>
|
|
<li>Single external IP address</li>
|
|
<li>Connection through Cable Modem, DSL, ISDN, Frame Relay,
|
|
dial-up...</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
<p>Shorewall requires that you have the iproute/iproute2 package
|
|
installed (on RedHat, the package is called <i>iproute</i>)<i>. </i>You
|
|
can tell if this package is installed by the presence of an <b>ip</b>
|
|
program
|
|
on your firewall system. As root, you can use the 'which' command to
|
|
check for this program:</p>
|
|
<pre> [root@gateway root]# which ip<br> /sbin/ip<br> [root@gateway root]#</pre>
|
|
<p>I recommend that you read through the guide first to familiarize
|
|
yourself with what's involved then go back through it again making your
|
|
configuration changes. Points at which configuration changes are
|
|
recommended are
|
|
flagged with <img border="0" src="images/BD21298_.gif" width="13"
|
|
height="13"> .</p>
|
|
<p><img border="0" src="images/j0213519.gif" width="60" height="60">
|
|
If you edit your configuration files on a Windows
|
|
system,
|
|
you must save them as Unix files if your editor supports that option
|
|
or you must run them through dos2unix before trying to use them.
|
|
Similarly,
|
|
if you copy a configuration file from your Windows hard drive to a
|
|
floppy disk, you must run dos2unix against the copy before using it
|
|
with Shorewall.</p>
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li><a href="http://www.simtel.net/pub/pd/51438.html">Windows Version
|
|
of dos2unix</a></li>
|
|
<li><a href="http://www.megaloman.com/%7Ehany/software/hd2u/">Linux
|

</ul>

<h2 align="left">PPTP/ADSL</h2>
|
|
<img style="border: 0px solid ; width: 13px; height: 13px;"
|
|
src="images/BD21298_3.gif" title="" alt=""> If you
|
|
have an ADSL Modem and you use PPTP to communicate with a server in
|
|
that modem, you must make the <a href="PPTP.htm#PPTP_ADSL">changes
|
|
recommended here</a> in addition to those described in the steps below.
|
|
ADSL with PPTP is most commonly found in Europe, notably in Austria.<br>

<h2 align="left">Shorewall Concepts</h2>
|
|
<p> <img border="0" src="images/BD21298_.gif" width="13" height="13"
|
|
alt=""> The configuration files for Shorewall are
|
|
contained in the directory /etc/shorewall -- for simple setups, you
|
|
only need to deal with a few of these as described in this guide. After
|
|
you have <a href="Install.htm">installed Shorewall</a>, <b>download
|
|
the <a href="http://www1.shorewall.net/pub/shorewall/Samples/">one-interface
|
|
sample</a>, un-tar it (tar -zxvf one-interface.tgz) and and copy the
|
|
files to /etc/shorewall (they will replace files with the same names
|
|
that were placed in /etc/shorewall during Shorewall installation)</b>.</p>
|
|
<p>As each file is introduced, I suggest that you look through the
|
|
actual file on your system -- each file contains detailed configuration
|
|
instructions and default entries.</p>
|
|
<p>Shorewall views the network where it is running as being composed of
|
|
a set of <i>zones.</i> In the one-interface sample configuration, only
|
|
one zone is defined:</p>
|
|
<table border="0" style="border-collapse: collapse;" cellpadding="3"
|
|
cellspacing="0" id="AutoNumber2">
|
|
<tbody>
|
|
<tr>
|
|
<td><u><b>Name</b></u></td>
|
|
<td><u><b>Description</b></u></td>
|
|
</tr>
|
|
<tr>
|
|
<td><b>net</b></td>
|
|
<td><b>The Internet</b></td>
|
|
</tr>
|
|
</tbody>
|
|
</table>
|
|
<p>Shorewall zones are defined in <a href="Documentation.htm#Zones">
|
|
/etc/shorewall/zones</a>.</p>
|
|
<p>Shorewall also recognizes the firewall system as its own zone - by
|
|
default, the firewall itself is known as <b>fw</b>.</p>
|
|
<p>Rules about what traffic to allow and what traffic to deny are
|
|
expressed in terms of zones.</p>
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>You express your default policy for connections from one zone to
|
|
another zone in the<a href="Documentation.htm#Policy">
|
|
/etc/shorewall/policy </a>file.</li>
|
|
<li>You define exceptions to those default policies in the <a
|
|
href="Documentation.htm#Rules">/etc/shorewall/rules </a>file.</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
<p>For each connection request entering the firewall, the request is
|
|
first checked against the /etc/shorewall/rules file. If no rule in that
|
|
file matches the connection request then the first policy in
|
|
/etc/shorewall/policy that matches the request is applied. If that
|
|
policy is REJECT or DROP the request is first checked against the
|
|
rules in /etc/shorewall/common if that file exists; otherwise the rules
|
|
in /etc/shorewall/common.def are checked.<br>
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>The /etc/shorewall/policy file included with the one-interface
|
|
sample
|
|
has the following policies:</p>
|
|
<blockquote>
|
|
<table border="1" cellpadding="2" style="border-collapse: collapse;"
|
|
id="AutoNumber3">
|
|

|
|

|
|
<td><u><b>SOURCE ZONE</b></u></td>
|
|
<td><u><b>DESTINATION ZONE</b></u></td>
|

|
|

|
|
</tr>
|
|
</tbody>
|
|
</table>
|
|
</blockquote>
|
|
<p>The above policy will:</p>
|
|
<ol>
|
|
<li>allow all connection requests from the firewall to the internet</li>
|
|
<li>drop (ignore) all connection requests from the internet
|
|
to your firewall</li>
|
|
<li>reject all other connection requests (Shorewall requires this
|
|
catchall policy).</li>
|
|
</ol>
|
|
<p>At this point, edit your /etc/shorewall/policy and make any changes
|
|
that you wish.</p>
|
|
<h2 align="left">External Interface</h2>
|
|
<p align="left">The firewall has a single network interface. Where
|
|
Internet connectivity is through a cable or DSL "Modem", the <i>External
|
|
Interface</i> will be the ethernet adapter (<b>eth0</b>) that is
|
|
connected to that "Modem" <u>unless</u> you connect via <i><u>P</u>oint-to-<u>P</u>oint
|
|
<u>P</u>rotocol over <u>E</u>thernet</i> (PPPoE) or <i><u>P</u>oint-to-<u>P</u>oint
|
|
<u>T</u>unneling <u>P</u>rotocol </i>(PPTP) in which case the
|
|
External Interface will be a <b>ppp0</b>. If you connect via a regular
|
|
modem, your External Interface will also be <b>ppp0</b>. If you
|
|
connect using ISDN, your external interface will be<b> ippp0.</b></p>
|
|
<p align="left"><img border="0" src="images/BD21298_3.gif" width="13"
|
|
height="13"> The Shorewall one-interface sample
|
|
configuration assumes that the external interface is <b>eth0</b>. If
|
|
your configuration is different, you will have to modify the sample
|
|
/etc/shorewall/interfaces file accordingly. While you are there, you
|
|
may wish to review the list of options that are specified for the
|
|
interface. Some hints:</p>
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>
|
|
<p align="left">If your external interface is <b>ppp0</b> or <b>ippp0</b>,
|
|
you can replace the "detect" in the second column with "-". </p>
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li>
|
|
<p align="left">If your external interface is <b>ppp0</b> or <b>ippp0</b>
|
|
or if you have a static IP address, you can remove "dhcp" from the
|
|
option list.<br>
|
|
</p>
|
|
</li>
|
|
</ul>

<h2 align="left">IP Addresses</h2>
|
|
</div>
|
|
<div align="left">
|
|
<p align="left">RFC 1918 reserves several <i>Private </i>IP address
|
|
ranges for use in private networks:</p>
|
|
<div align="left">
|
|
<pre> 10.0.0.0 - 10.255.255.255<br> 172.16.0.0 - 172.31.255.255<br> 192.168.0.0 - 192.168.255.255</pre>
|
|
</div>
|
|
<p align="left">These addresses are sometimes referred to as <i>non-routable</i>
|
|
because the Internet backbone routers will not forward a packet whose
|
|
destination address is reserved by RFC 1918. In some cases though,
|
|
ISPs are assigning these addresses then using <i>Network Address
|
|
Translation </i>to rewrite packet headers when forwarding to/from the
|
|
internet.</p>

<p align="left"><img border="0" src="images/BD21298_.gif" align="left"

width="13" height="13"> Before starting
|
|
Shorewall, you should look at the IP address of your external interface

option from the entry in /etc/shorewall/interfaces.</p>
