    <title>Description</title>

    <para>Entries in this file govern connection establishment by defining
    exceptions to the policies layed out in <ulink
    url="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>

    <variablelist>
      <varlistentry>
        <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 ACCEPT rule inserted at the end of this
          section.</para>
        </listitem>
      </varlistentry>

      <varlistentry>
        <term><emphasis role="bold">RELATED</emphasis></term>

        <listitem>
          <para>Packets in the RELATED 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 ACCEPT rule inserted at the end of this
          section.</para>
        </listitem>
      </varlistentry>

      <varlistentry>
        <term><emphasis role="bold">NEW</emphasis></term>

        <listitem>
          <para>Packets in the NEW, INVALID and UNTRACKED states are processed
          by rules in this section.</para>
        </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 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="shorewall.conf.html">shorewall.conf</ulink>(5) then the <emphasis
      role="bold">ESTABLISHED</emphasis> and <emphasis
      role="bold">RELATED</emphasis> sections must be empty.</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.</para>

          <para>For other actions, this column may be included and may contain
          one or more addresses (host or network) separated by commas. Address
          ranges are not allowed. When this column is supplied, rules are
          generated that require that the original destination address matches
          one of the listed addresses. This feature is most useful when you
          want to generate a filter rule that corresponds to a <emphasis
          role="bold">DNAT-</emphasis> or <emphasis
          role="bold">REDIRECT-</emphasis> rule. In this usage, the list of
          addresses should not begin with "!".</para>

          <para>It is also possible to specify a set of addresses then exclude
          part of those addresses. For example, <emphasis
          role="bold">192.168.1.0/24!192.168.1.16/28</emphasis> specifies the
          addresses 192.168.1.0-182.168.1.15 and 192.168.1.32-192.168.1.255.

          <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>
