    <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>Sections are as follows and must appear in the order listed:</para>

        <listitem>
          <para>This section was added in Shorewall 4.4.23. Rules in this

          <para>Packets in the NEW state are processed by rules in this
          section. If the INVALID and/or UNTRACKED sections are empty or not

    <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 place all of your 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

      <emphasis role="bold">ALL, ESTABLISHED</emphasis> and <emphasis
      role="bold">RELATED</emphasis> sections must be empty.</para>

      <para>An exception 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 ORIGDEST column gives the
        original destination IP address of the packet and the DPORT 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>

                <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 two semicolons (';;') 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(s). In this case, you must declare the target as a

                queue zero (0) is assumed. Beginning with Shorewall 4.6.10,
                the keyword <emphasis role="bold">bypass</emphasis> can be
                given. By default, if no userspace program is listening on an
                NFQUEUE, then all packets that are to be queued are dropped.
                When this option is used, the NFQUEUE rule is silently
                bypassed instead. The packet will move on to the next rule.
                Also beginning in Shorewall 4.6.10, a second queue number
                (<replaceable>queuenumber2</replaceable>) may be specified.
                This specifies a range of queues to use. Packets are then
                balanced across the given queues. This is useful for multicore
                systems: start multiple instances of the userspace program on
                queues x, x+1, .. x+n and use "x:x+n". Packets belonging to
                the same connection are put into the same nfqueue.</para>

                <para>Beginning with Shorewall 5.1.0, queuenumber2 may be
                followed by the letter 'c' to indicate that the CPU ID will be

                <para>TARPIT captures and holds incoming TCP connections using
                no local per-connection resources.</para>

                <para>TARPIT only works with the PROTO column set to tcp (6),
                and is totally application agnostic. This module will answer a
                TCP request and play along like a listening server, but aside
                from sending an ACK or RST, no data is sent. Incoming packets
                are ignored and dropped. The attacker will terminate the
                session eventually. This module allows the initial packets of
                an attack to be captured by other software for inspection. In
                most cases this is sufficient to determine the nature of the
                attack.</para>

                <para>This offers similar functionality to LaBrea
                &lt;http://www.hackbusters.net/LaBrea/&gt; but does not

                normally DROP or REJECT can instead become a tarpit.</para>

                      time. While he is maintaining state of the connection
                      and trying to continue every 60-240 seconds, we keep
                      none, so it is very lightweight. Attempts to close the
                      connection are ignored, forcing the remote side to time
                      out the connection in 12-24 minutes.</para>

                      very nasty exploit attempts. We can capture these
                      packets for decoding and further analysis. The module
                      does not send any data, so if the remote expects an
                      application level response, the game is up.</para>

          <para>It is also possible to specify a set of addresses then exclude

          assumed. Where more than one rule or POLICY specifies the same name,
          the connections counts for the rules are aggregated and the

          <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>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
