Shorewall 2.2.0-RC1
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Problems Corrected since 2.0.3
1) A non-empty DEST entry in /etc/shorewall/tcrules will generate an
error and Shorewall fails to start.
2) A potential security vulnerablilty in the way that Shorewall
handles temporary files and directories has been corrected.
3) Two problems with logging NAT rules (DNAT and REDIRECT) could cause
startup failures.
4) Some users have reported the pkttype match option in iptables/
Netfilter failing to match certain broadcast packets. The result
is that the firewall log shows a lot of broadcast packets.
Users experiencing this problem can use PKTTYPE=No in
shorewall.conf to cause Shorewall to use IP address filtering of
broadcasts rather than packet type.
Problems Corrected since 2.1.0
1) The "check" command fails with the following message:
iptables: No chain/target/match by that name
Problems Corrected since 2.1.4
1) Per-interface options like 'norfc1918' are not applied to requests
that have been unencrypted as a result of an entry in the SPD.
Problems corrected since 2.1.6
1) Dynamic zones marked as 'ipsec' in /etc/shorewall/ipsec now work
correctly.
Problems corrected since 2.1.7
1) Fix parsing of ACTION with ":" but no log level (Richard Musil).
2) Fix parsing of PROTO column in /etc/shorewall/tcrules.
3) Packets that will be encrypted or that have been decrypted by IPSEC
are now exempted from the rules established by one-to-one NAT. This
allows tunnel mode IPSEC to work for local networks where some of
the systems use one-to-one NAT.
4) The shorewall.spec file now directs rpm to cause Shorewall to start
automatically at boot. This feature was inadvertently removed in
Shorewall 2.1.3.
Problems corrected since 2.1.8
1) IP ranges in the routestopped and tunnels files now work.
2) Rules where an IP range appears in both the source and destination
now work correctly.
3) With complex proxy arp configurations involving two or more
ordered pairs of interfaces, the /proc/sys/net/ipv4/conf/*/proxy_arp
flags were sometimes set incorrectly. This has been fixed.
Problems corrected since 2.1.9
1) With DELAYBLACKLISTLOAD=No, the blacklist was previously not
loaded.
Problems corrected since 2.1.10
1) If TC_ENABLED=Yes but you have no /etc/shorewall/tcstart file then
"shorewall restore" will no longer attempt to run the tcstart file.
2) Previously it was necessary to define ipsec zones (those with
"Yes" in the IPSEC column in /etc/shorewall/ipsec or those having
an entry in /etc/shorewall/hosts having the "ipsec" option) before
other zones using the same interface. This has been corrected.
3) A typo has been corrected that prevented the 'logmartians' interface
option from working correctly.
4) A typo has been corrected in and a clarification added to the
/etc/shorewall/blacklist file.
Problems corrected since 2.1.11
1) If a zone name appears more than once in /etc/shorewall/zones,
Shorewall will now issue an error message and terminate during
"shorewall [re]start" or "shorewall check".
2) If a configuration has two or more "complex" zones (zones having
IPSEC hosts or zones having more than one subnet on an interface)
then an incorrect ruleset is generated. This problem was introduced
in 2.1.11.
Problems corrected since 2.2.0 Beta 1.
1) The "shorewall check" command results in the (harmless) error
message:
/usr/share/shorewall/firewall: line 2753:
check_dupliate_zones: command not found
2) The AllowNTP standard action now allows outgoing responses to
broadcasts.
3) A clarification has been added to the hosts file's description of
the 'ipsec' option pointing out that the option is redundent if the
zone named in the ZONE column has been designated an IPSEC zone in
the /etc/shorewall/ipsec file.
Problems corrected since 2.2.0 Beta 2.
1) Missing '#' in the rfc1918 file.
2) The INSTALL file now includes special instructions for Slackware
users.
Problems corrected since 2.2.0 Beta 3.
1) A cut and paste error resulted in some nonsense in the description
of the IPSEC column in /etc/shorewall/masq.
2) A typo in /etc/shorewall/rules has been corrected.
3) The bogons file has been updated.
4) The "shorewall add" command previously reported success but did
nothing -- now it works.
Problems corrected since 2.2.0 Beta 4:
1) A typo in shorewall.conf (NETNOTSYN) has been corrected.
Problems corrected since 2.2.0 Beta 5:
1) Many problems associated with an empty IPTABLES variable have been
corrected.
2) A 'chain already exists' error occurs on "shorewall add" if you are
using the 'mss' option in the ipsec file.
Problems corrected since 2.2.0 Beta 6:
1) The "shorewall add" and "shorewall delete" commands now work in a
bridged environment. The syntax is:
shorewall add <interface>[:<port>]:<address> <zone>
shorewall delete <interface>[:<port>]:<address> <zone>
Examples:
shorewall add br0:eth2:192.168.1.3 OK
shorewall delete br0:eth2:192.168.1.3 OK
2) Previously, "shorewall save" created an out-of-sequence restore
script. The commands saved in the user's /etc/shorewall/start script
were executed prior to the Netfilter configuration being
restored. This has been corrected so that "shorewall save" now
places those commands at the end of the script.
To accomplish this change, the "restore base" file
(/var/lib/shorewall/restore-base) has been split into two files:
/var/lib/shorewall/restore-base -- commands to be executed before
Netfilter the configuration is restored.
/var/lib/shorewall/restore-tail -- commands to be executed after the
Netfilter configuration is restored.
3) Previously, traffic from the firewall to a dynamic zone member host
did not need to match the interface specified when the host was
added to the zone. For example, if eth0:1.2.3.4 is added to dynamic
zone Z then traffic out of any firewall interface to 1.2.3.4 will
obey the fw->Z policies and rules. This has been corrected.
4) Shorewall uses the temporary chain 'fooX1234' to probe iptables for
detrmining which features are supported. Previously, if that chain
happened to exist when Shorewall was run, capabilities were
mis-detected.
Problems corrected since 2.2.0 Beta 7:
1) A typo in the /etc/shorewall/interfaces file has been corrected.
2) The "add" and "delete" commands were generating incorrect policy
matches when policy match support was available.
Problems corrected since 2.2.0 Beta 8:
1) The syntax of the add and delete command has been clarified in the
help summary produced by /sbin/shorewall.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Issues when migrating from Shorewall 2.0 to Shorewall 2.2:
1) Shorewall configuration files except shorewall.conf are now empty
(they contain only comments). If you wish to retain the defaults
in any of the following files, you should copy these files before
upgrading them then restore them after the upgrade:
/etc/shorewall/zones
/etc/shorewall/policy
/etc/shorewall/tos
2) The following builtin actions have been removed and have been
replaced by the new action logging implementation described in the
new features below.
logNotSyn
rLogNotSyn
dLogNotSyn
3) If shorewall.conf is upgraded to the latest version, it needs to be
modified to set STARTUP_ENABLED=Yes
4) The Leaf/Bering version of Shorewall was previously named:
shorwall-<version>.lrp
Beginning with 2.1, that file will now be named:
shorewall-lrp-<version>.tgz
Simply rename that file to 'shorwall.lrp' when installing it on your
LEAF/Bering system.
5) The ORIGINAL DEST column of the /etc/shorewall/rules file may no
longer contain a second (SNAT) address. You must use an entry in
/etc/shorewall/masq instead.
Example from Shorewall FAQ #1:
Prior to Shorewall 2.1:
/etc/shorewall/interfaces
loc eth1 detect routeback,...
/etc/shorewall/rules
DNAT loc loc:192.168.1.12 tcp 80 \
- 130.252.100.69:192.168.1.254
Shorewall 2.1 and Later:
/etc/shorewall/interfaces
loc eth1 detect routeback,...
/etc/shorewall/masq:
eth1 eth1 192.168.1.254 tcp 80
/etc/shorewall/rules:
DNAT loc loc:192.168.1.12 tcp 80 \
- 130.252.100.69
6) The 'logunclean' and 'dropunclean' options that were deprecated in
Shorewall 2.0 have now been removed completely.
7) A new IPTABLES variable has been added to shorewall.conf. This
variable names the iptables executable that Shorewall will use. The
variable is set to "/sbin/iptables". If you use the new
shorewall.conf, you may need to change this setting to maintain
compabibility with your current setup (if you use your existing
shorewall.conf that does not set IPTABLES then you should
experience no change in behavior).
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
New Features:
1) ICMP packets that are in the INVALID state are now dropped by the
Reject and Drop default actions. They do so using the new
'dropInvalid' builtin action.
2) The /etc/shorewall/masq file INTERFACE column now allows additional
options.
Normally MASQUERADE/SNAT rules are evaluated after one-to-one NAT
rules defined in the /etc/shorewall/nat file. If you preceed the
interface name with a plus sign ("+") then the rule will be
evaluated before one-to-one NAT.
Examples:
+eth0
+eth1:192.0.2.32/27
Also, the effect of ADD_SNAT_ALIASES=Yes can be negated for an
entry by following the interface name by ":" but no digit.
Examples:
eth0:
eth1::192.0.2.32/27
+eth3:
3) Similar to 2), the /etc/shorewall/nat file INTERFACE column now allows
you to override the setting of ADD_IP_ALIASES=Yes by following the
interface name with ":" but no digit.
4) All configuration files in the Shorewall distribution with the
exception of shorewall.conf are now empty. In particular, the
/etc/shorewall/zones, /etc/shorewall/policy and /etc/shorewall/tos
files now have no active entries. Hopefully this will stop the
questions on the support and development lists regarding why the
default entries are the way they are.
5) Previously, including a log level (and optionally a log tag) on a
rule that specified a user-defined (or Shorewall-defined) action
would log all traffic passed to the action. Beginning with this
release, specifying a log level in a rule that specifies a user-
or Shorewall-defined action will cause each rule in the action to
be logged with the specified level (and tag).
The extent to which logging of action rules occurs is goverend by
the following:
a) When you invoke an action and specify a log level, only those
rules in the action that have no log level will be changed to log
at the level specified at the action invocation.
Example:
/etc/shorewall/action.foo:
ACCEPT - - tcp 22
bar:info
/etc/shorewall/rules:
foo:debug fw net
Logging in the invoked 'foo' action will be:
ACCEPT:debug - - tcp 22
bar:info
b) If you follow the log level with "!" then logging will
be at that level for all rules recursively invoked by the action
Example:
/etc/shorewall/action.foo:
ACCEPT - - tcp 22
bar:info
/etc/shorewall/rules:
foo:debug! fw net
Logging in the invoke 'foo' action will be:
ACCEPT:debug - - tcp 22
bar:debug!
This change has an effect on extension scripts used with
user-defined actions. If you define an action 'acton' and you have
an /etc/shorewall/acton script then when that script is invoked,
the following three variables will be set for use by the script:
$CHAIN = the name of the chain where your rules are to be
placed. When logging is used on an action invocation,
Shorewall creates a chain with a slightly different name from
the action itself.
$LEVEL = Log level. If empty, no logging was specified.
$TAG = Log Tag.
Example:
/etc/shorewall/rules:
acton:info:test
Your /etc/shorewall/acton file will be run with:
$CHAIN="%acton1"
$LEVEL="info"
$TAG="test"
6) The /etc/shorewall/startup_disabled file is no longer created when
Shorewall is first installed. Rather, the variable STARTUP_ENABLED
is set to 'No' in /etc/shorewall/shorewall.conf. In order to get
Shorewall to start, that variable's value must be set to
'Yes'. This change accomplishes two things:
a) It prevents Shorewall from being started prematurely by the
user's initialization scripts.
b) It causes /etc/shorewall/shorewall.conf to be modified so that
it won't be replaced by upgrades using RPM.
7) Some additional support has been added for the 2.6 Kernel IPSEC
implementation. To use this support, you must have installed the
IPSEC policy match patch and the four IPSEC/Netfilter patches
from Patch-0-Matic-ng. The policy match patch affects both your
kernel and iptables.
There are two ways to specify that IPSEC is to be used when
communicating with a set of hosts; both methods involve the new
/etc/shorewall/ipsec file:
a) If encrypted communication is used with all hosts in a zone,
then you can designate the zone as an "ipsec" zone by placing
'Yes" in the IPSEC ONLY column in the /etc/shorewall/ipsec:
#ZONE IPSEC OPTIONS ...
# ONLY
vpn Yes
The hosts in the zone (if any) must be specified in
/etc/shorewall/hosts but you do not need to specify the 'ipsec'
option on the entries in that file (see below).
Dynamic zones involving IPSEC must use that technique.
Example:
Under 2.4 Kernel FreeS/Wan:
/etc/shorewall/zones:
net Net The big bad Internet
vpn VPN Remote Network
/etc/shorewall/interfaces:
net eth0 ...
vpn ipsec0 ...
Under 2.6 Kernel with this new support:
/etc/shorewall/zones:
net Net The big bad Internet
vpn VPN Remote Network
/etc/shorewall/interfaces:
net eth0 ...
/etc/shorewall/hosts:
vpn eth0:0.0.0.0/0
/etc/shorewall/ipsec
vpn Yes
b) If only part of the hosts in a zone require encrypted
communication, you may use of the new 'ipsec' option in
/etc/shorewall/hosts to designate those hosts.
Example:
Under 2.4 Kernel FreeS/Wan:
/etc/shorewall/zones:
net Net The big bad Internet
loc Local Extended local zone
/etc/shorewall/interfaces:
net eth0 ...
loc eth1 ...
loc ipsec0 ...
Under 2.6 Kernel with this new support:
/etc/shorewall/zones:
net Net The big bad Internet
vpn VPN Remote Network
/etc/shorewall/interfaces:
net eth0 ...
loc eth1 ...
/etc/shorewall/hosts:
vpn eth0:0.0.0.0/0 ipsec,...
Regardless of which technique you choose, you can specify
additional SA options for the zone in the /etc/shorewall/ipsec
entry.
The OPTIONS, IN OPTIONS and OUT OPTIONS columns specify the
input-output, input and output characteristics of the security
policies to be used to decrypt (input) or encrypt (output) traffic
to/from the zone.
The available options are:
reqid[!]=<number> where <number> is specified using setkey(8) using
the 'unique:<number>' option for the SPD level.
spi[!]=<number> where <number> is the SPI of the SA. Since
different SAs are used to encrypt and decrypt traffic, this
option should only be listed in the IN OPTIONS and OUT OPTIONS
columns.
proto[!]=ah|esp|ipcomp
mss=<number> (sets the MSS value in TCP SYN packets and is not
related to policy matching)
mode[!]=transport|tunnel
tunnel-src[!]=<address>[/<mask>] (only available with mode=tunnel)
tunnel-dst[!]=<address>[/<mask>] (only available with
mode=tunnel). Because tunnel source and destination are
dependent on the direction of the traffic, these options
should only appear in the IN OPTIONS and OUT OPTIONS columns.
strict (if specified, packets must match all policies;
policies are delimited by 'next').
next (only available with strict)
Examples:
#ZONE IPSEC OPTIONS IN OUT...
# ONLY OPTIONS OPTIONS
vpn Yes mode=tunnel,proto=esp spi=1000 spi=1001
loc No reqid=44,mode=transport
The /etc/shorewall/masq file has a new IPSEC column added. If you
specify Yes or yes in that column then the unencrypted packets will
have their source address changed. Otherwise, the unencrypted
packets will not have their source addresses changed. This column
may also contain a comma-separated list of the options specified
above in which case only those packets that will be encrypted
by an SA matching the given options will have their source address
changed.
8) To improve interoperability, tunnels of type 'ipsec' no longer
enforce the use of source port 500 for ISAKMP and OpenVPN
tunnels no longer enforce use of the specified port as both the
source and destination ports.
9) A new 'allowBcast' builtin action has been added -- it silently
allows broadcasts and multicasts.
10) The -c option in /sbin/shorewall commands is now deprecated. The
commands where -c was previously allowed now permit you to specify
a configuration directory after the command:
shorewall check [ <configuration-directory> ]
shorewall restart [ <configuration-directory> ]
shorewall start [ <configuration-directory> ]
11) Normally, when SNAT or MASQUERADE is applied to a tcp or udp
connection, Netfilter attempts to retain the source port
number. If it has to change to port number to avoid
<source address>,<source port> conflicts, it tries to do so
within port ranges ( < 512, 512-1023, and > 1023). You may
now specify an explicit range of source ports to be used
by following the address or address range (if any) in the
ADDRESS column with ":" and a port range in the format
<low-port>-<high-port>. You must specify either "tcp" or
"udp" in the PROTO column.
Examples 1 -- MASQUERADE with tcp source ports 4000-5000:
#INTERFACE SUBNET ADDRESS PROTO
eth0 192.168.1.0/24 :4000-5000 tcp
Example 2 -- SNAT with udp source ports 7000-8000:
#INTERFACE SUBNET ADDRESS PROTO
eth0 10.0.0.0/8 192.0.2.44:7000-8000 udp
12) You may now account by user/group ID for outbound traffic from the
firewall itself with entries in /etc/shorewall/accounting. Such
accounting rules must be placed in the OUTPUT chain.
See the comments at the top of /etc/shorewall/accounting for
details.
13) Shorewall now verifies that your kernel and iptables have physdev
match support if BRIDGING=Yes in shorewall.conf.
14) Beginning with this release, if your kernel and iptables have
iprange match support (see the output from "shorewall check"), then
with the exception of the /etc/shorewall/netmap file, anywhere that
a network address may appear an IP address range of the form <low
address>-<high address> may also appear.
15) Support has been added for the iptables CLASSIFY target. That
target allows you to classify packets for traffic shaping directly
rather than indirectly through fwmark. Simply enter the
<major>:<minor> classification in the first column of
/etc/shorewall/tcrules:
Example:
#MARK/ SOURCE DEST PROTO PORT(S)
#CLASSIFY
1:30 - eth0 tcp 25
Note that when using this form of rule, it is acceptable to include
the name of an interface in the DEST column.
Marking using the CLASSIFY target always occurs in the POSTROUTING
chain of the mangle table and is not affected by the setting of
MARK_IN_FORWARD_CHAIN in shorewall.conf.
16) During "shorewall start", IP addresses to be added as a consequence
of ADD_IP_ALIASES=Yes and ADD_SNAT_ALIASES=Yes are quietly deleted
when /etc/shorewall/nat and /etc/shorewall/masq are processed then
the are re-added later. This is done to help ensure that the
addresses can be added with the specified labels but can have
the undesirable side effect of causing routes to be quietly
deleted. A new RETAIN_ALIASES option has been added to
shorewall.conf; when this option is set to Yes, existing addresses
will not be deleted. Regardless of the setting of RETAIN_ALIASES,
addresses added during "shorewall start" are still deleted at a
subsequent "shorewall stop" or "shorewall restart".
17) Users with a large black list (from /etc/shorewall/blacklist) may
want to set the new DELAYBLACKLISTLOAD option in
shorewall.conf. When DELAYBLACKLISTLOAD=Yes, Shorewall will
enable new connections before loading the blacklist rules. While
this may allow connections from blacklisted hosts to slip by during
construction of the blacklist, it can substantially reduce the time
that all new connections are disabled during "shorewall [re]start".
18) Using the default LOGFORMAT, chain names longer than 11 characters
(such as in user-defined actions) may result in log prefix
truncation. A new shorewall.conf action LOGTAGONLY has been added
to deal with this problem. When LOGTAGONLY=Yes, logging rules that
specify a log tag will substitute the tag for the chain name in the
log prefix.
Example -- file /etc/shorewall/action.thisisaverylogactionname:
Rule:
DROP:info:ftp 0.0.0.0/0 0.0.0.0/0 tcp 21
Log prefix with LOGTAGONLY=No:
Shorewall:thisisaverylongacti
Log prefix with LOGTAGONLY=Yes:
Shorewall:ftp:DROP
19) Shorewall now resets the 'accept_source_route' flag for all
interfaces. If you wish to accept source routing on an interface,
you must specify the new 'sourceroute' interface option in
/etc/shorewall/interfaces.
20) The default Drop and Reject actions now invoke the new standard
action 'AllowICMPs'. This new action accepts critical ICMP types:
Type 3 code 4 (fragmentation needed)
Type 11 (TTL exceeded)
21) Explicit control over the kernel's Martian logging is now provided
using the new 'logmartians' interface option. If you include
'logmartians' in the interface option list then logging of Martian
packets on will be enabled on the specified interface.
If you wish to globally enable martian logging, you can set
LOG_MARTIANS=Yes in shorewall.conf.
22) You may now cause Shorewall to use the '--set-mss' option of the
TCPMSS target. In other words, you can cause Shorewall to set the
MSS field of SYN packets passing through the firewall to the value
you specify. This feature extends the existing CLAMPMSS option in
/etc/shorewall/shorewall.conf by allowing that option to have a
numeric value as well as the values "Yes" and "No".
Example:
CLAMPMSS=1400
23) Shorewall now includes support for the ipp2p match facility. This
is a departure from my usual policy in that the ipp2p match
facility is included in Patch-O-Matic-NG and is unlikely to ever be
included in the kernel.org source tree. Questions about how to
install the patch or how to build your kernel and/or iptables
should not be posted on the Shorewall mailing lists.
In the following files, the "PROTO" or "PROTOCOL" column may
contain "ipp2p":
/etc/shorewall/rules
/etc/shorewall/tcrules
/etc/shorewall/accounting
When the PROTO or PROTOCOL column contains "ipp2p" then the DEST
PORT(S) or PORT(S) column may contain a recognized ipp2p option;
for a list of the options and their meaning, at a root prompt:
iptables -m ipp2p --help
You must not include the leading "--" on the option; Shorewall will
supply those characters for you. If you do not include an option
then "ipp2p" is assumed (Shorewall will generate "-m ipp2p
--ipp2p").
24) Shorewall now has support for the CONNMARK target from iptables.
See the /etc/shorewall/tcrules file for details.
25) A new debugging option LOGALLNEW has been added to
shorewall.conf. When set to a log level, this option causes
Shorewall to generaate a logging rule as the first rule in each
builtin chain.
- The table name is used as the chain name in the log prefix.
- The chain name is used as the target in the log prefix.
Example: Using the default LOGFORMAT, the log prefix for logging
from the nat table's PREROUTING chain is:
Shorewall:nat:PREROUTING
IMPORTANT: There is no rate limiting on these logging rules so
use LOGALLNEW at your own risk; it may cause high CPU and disk
utilization and you may not be able to control your firewall after
you enable this option.
DANGER: DO NOT USE THIS OPTION IF THE RESULTING LOG MESSAGES WILL
BE SENT TO ANOTHER SYSTEM.
26) The SUBNET column in /etc/shorewall/rfc1918 has been renamed
SUBNETS and it is now possible to specify a list of addresses in
that column.
27) The AllowNNTP action now also allows NNTP over SSL/TLS (NNTPS).
28) For consistency, the CLIENT PORT(S) column in the tcrules file has
been renamed SOURCE PORT(S).
29) The contents of /proc/sys/net/ip4/icmp_echo_ignore_all is now shown
in the output of "shorewall status".
30) A new IPTABLES option has been added to shorewall.conf. IPTABLES
can be used to designate the iptables executable to be used by
Shorewall. If not specified, the iptables executable determined by
the PATH setting is used.
31) You can now use the "shorewall show zones" command to display the
current contents of the zones. This is particularly useful if you
use dynamic zones (DYNAMIC_ZONES=Yes in shorewall.conf).
Example:
ursa:/etc/shorewall # shorewall show zones
Shorewall-2.2.0-Beta7 Zones at ursa - Sat Nov 27 11:18:25 PST 2004
loc
eth0:192.168.1.0/24
eth1:1.2.3.4
net
eth0:0.0.0.0/0
WiFi
eth1:0.0.0.0/0
sec
eth1:0.0.0.0/0
ursa:/etc/shorewall #
32) Variable expansion may now be used with the INCLUDE directive.
Example:
/etc/shorewall/params
FILE=/etc/foo/bar
Any other config file:
INCLUDE $FILE
33) The output of "shorewall status" now includes the results of "ip
-stat link ls". This helps diagnose performance problems caused by
link errors.
34) Previously, when rate-limiting was specified in
/etc/shorewall/policy (LIMIT:BURST column), any traffic which
exceeded the specified rate was silently dropped. Now, if a log
level is given in the entry (LEVEL column) then drops are logged at
that level at a rate of 5/min with a burst of 5.
35) Recent 2.6 kernels include code that evaluates TCP packets based on
TCP Window analysis. This can cause packets that were previously
classified as NEW or ESTABLISHED to be classified as INVALID.
The new kernel code can be disabled by including this command in
your /etc/shorewall/init file:
echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/netfilter/ip_conntrack_tcp_be_liberal
Additional kernel logging about INVALID TCP packets may be
obtained by adding this command to /etc/shorewall/init:
echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/netfilter/ip_conntrack_log_invalid
Traditionally, Shorewall has dropped INVALID TCP packets early. The
new DROPINVALID option allows INVALID packets to be passed through
the normal rules chains by setting DROPINVALID=No.
If not specified or if specified as empty (e.g., DROPINVALID="")
then DROPINVALID=Yes is assumed.
36) The "shorewall add" and "shorewall delete" commands now accept a
list of hosts to add or delete.
Examples:
shorewall add eth1:1.2.3.4 eth1:2.3.4.5 z12
shorewall delete eth1:1.2.3.4 eth1:2.3.4.5 z12
The above commands may also be written:
shorewall add eth1:1.2.3.4,2.3.4.5 z12
shorewall delete eth1:1.2.3.4,2.3.4.5 z12
37) TCP OpenVPN tunnels are now supported using the 'openvpn' tunnel
type. OpenVPN entries in /etc/shorewall/tunnels have this format:
openvpn[:{tcp|udp}][:<port>] <zone> <gateway>
Examples:
openvpn:tcp net 1.2.3.4 # TCP tunnel on port 5000
openvpn:3344 net 1.2.3.4 # UDP on port 3344
openvpn:tcp:4455 net 1.2.3.4 # TCP on port 4455
