- + interfaces are connected to which zone. There will be one entry in + /etc/shorewall/interfaces for each of your interfaces. Columns in an +entry are: + tcpflags (added in version 1.3.11) - This option causes
Shorewall to make sanity checks on the header flags in TCP packets arriving
-on this interface. Packets failing these checks are logged according to the
-TCP_FLAGS_LOG_LEVEL option in /etc/shorewall/shorewall.conf
-and are disposed of according to the TCP_FLAGS_DISPOSITION option.
-
-blacklist - This option causes incoming packets on this
- interface to be checked against the blacklist.
-
- dhcp - The interface is assigned an IP address via DHCP or
-is used by a DHCP server running on the firewall. The firewall
-will be configured to allow DHCP traffic to and from the interface
-even when the firewall is stopped. You may also wish to use this option
-if you have a static IP but you are on a LAN segment that has a lot of
-Laptops that use DHCP and you select the norfc1918 option (see
-below).
noping - ICMP echo-request (ping) packets addressed to
- the firewall will be ignored by this interface.
-
- filterping - ICMP echo-request (ping) packets addressed
-to the firewall will be handled according to the /etc/shorewall/rules
-and /etc/shorewall/policy file. If the applicable policy is DROP or REJECT
- and you have supplied your own /etc/shorewall/icmpdef file then these
- 'ping' requests will be passed through the rules in that file before
-being dropped or rejected. If neither noping nor filterping
-is specified then the firewall will automatically ACCEPT these 'ping'
-requests. If both noping and filterping are specified,
- filterping takes precedence.
routestopped - Beginning with Shorewall 1.3.4, this option - is deprecated in favor of the /etc/shorewall/routestopped - file. When the firewall is stopped, traffic to and from this interface - will be accepted and routing will occur between this interface and - other routestopped interfaces.

- have a source address that is reserved in RFC 1918 or in other RFCs
-will be dropped after being optionally logged. If packet
-mangling is enabled in /etc/shorewall/shorewall.conf , then packets
-arriving on this interface that have a destination address that is
-reserved by one of these RFCs will also be logged and dropped.
-
- Addresses blocked by the standard rfc1918
- file include those addresses reserved by RFC1918 plus other
- ranges reserved by the IANA or by other RFCs.
Beware that as IPv4 addresses become in increasingly short supply, - ISPs are beginning to use RFC 1918 addresses within their own infrastructure. - Also, many cable and DSL "modems" have an RFC 1918 address that can -be used through a web browser for management and monitoring functions. -If you want to specify norfc1918 on your external interface but -need to allow access to certain addresses from the above list, see FAQ 14.

Example: you have two - addresses on your single local interface eth1, one each in subnets - 192.168.1.0/24 and 192.168.2.0/24 and you want to route between these - subnets. Because you only have one interface in the local zone, Shorewall - won't normally create a rule to forward packets from eth1 to eth1. - Adding "multi" to the entry for eth1 will cause Shorewall to create - the loc2loc chain and the appropriate forwarding rule.

My recommendations concerning options:

Example 1: You have a conventional firewall setup in which eth0 connects - to a Cable or DSL modem and eth1 connects to your local network and -eth0 gets its IP address via DHCP. You want to ignore ping requests from -the internet and you want to check all packets entering -from the internet against the black -list. Your /etc/shorewall/interfaces file would be as follows:

For most applications, specifying zones entirely in terms of network interfaces is sufficient. There may be times though where you need to define a zone to be a more general collection of hosts. This is the purpose of the /etc/shorewall/hosts file.
- +WARNING: 90% of Shorewall users don't need to put entries in this file and 80% of those who try to add such entries do it wrong. Unless you are ABSOLUTELY SURE that you need entries in this file, don't touch it.
- +Columns in this file are:
- + +- +- + + +-
- +- An IP address (example - eth1:192.168.1.3)
+- An IP address (example - eth1:192.168.1.3)
-- A subnet in CIDR notation - (example - eth2:192.168.2.0/24)

- ++ for ethernet interfaces.routestopped - Beginning with Shorewall 1.3.4, this option is deprecated in favor of the /etc/shorewall/routestopped file.

Hosts in 'loc2' can communicate with the firewall while Shorewall is - stopped -- those in 'loc1' cannot.
- - -The /etc/shorewall/interfaces and /etc/shorewall/hosts file allow -you to define nested or overlapping zones. Such overlapping/nested zones - are allowed and Shorewall processes zones in the order that they appear - in the /etc/shorewall/zones file. So if you have nested zones, you want - the sub-zone to appear before the super-zone and in the case of overlapping - zones, the rules that will apply to hosts that belong to both zones -is determined by which zone appears first in /etc/shorewall/zones.
- - -Hosts that belong to more than one zone may be managed by the rules - of all of those zones. This is done through use of the special CONTINUE policy described below.
- - -This file is used to describe the firewall policy regarding establishment - of connections. Connection establishment is described in terms of clients - who initiate connections and servers who receive those connection - requests. Policies defined in /etc/shorewall/policy describe which zones - are allowed to establish connections with other zones.
- - -Policies established in /etc/shorewall/policy can be viewed as default - policies. If no rule in /etc/shorewall/rules applies to a particular - connection request then the policy from /etc/shorewall/policy is applied.
- - -Four policies are defined:

- - -Entries in /etc/shorewall/policy have four columns as follows:

+ + +Nested and Overlapping Zones
+ + +The /etc/shorewall/interfaces and /etc/shorewall/hosts file allow +you to define nested or overlapping zones.

So if you have nested zones, +you want the sub-zone to appear before the super-zone and in the case +of overlapping zones, the rules that will apply to hosts that belong +to both zones is determined by which zone appears first in /etc/shorewall/zones.
+ + +Hosts that belong to more than one zone may be managed by the rules + of all of those zones. This is done through use of the special CONTINUE policy described below.
+ + ++ /etc/shorewall/policy Configuration.
+ + +This file is used to describe the firewall policy regarding establishment + of connections. Connection establishment is described in terms of +clients who initiate connections and servers who receive + those connection requests. Policies defined in /etc/shorewall/policy +describe which zones are allowed to establish connections with other +zones.
+ + +Policies established in /etc/shorewall/policy can be viewed as default + policies. If no rule in /etc/shorewall/rules applies to a particular + connection request then the policy from /etc/shorewall/policy is applied.
+ + +Four policies are defined:
+ + ++
+ + +- ACCEPT - The connection is allowed.
+- DROP - The connection request is ignored.
+- REJECT - The connection request is rejected +with an RST (TCP) or an ICMP destination-unreachable packet being +returned to the client.
+- CONTINUE - The connection is neither ACCEPTed, + DROPped nor REJECTed. CONTINUE may be used when one or both of the + zones named in the entry are sub-zones of or intersect with another + zone. For more information, see below.
+ +For each policy specified in /etc/shorewall/policy, you can indicate + that you want a message sent to your system log each time that the + policy is applied.
+ + +Entries in /etc/shorewall/policy have four columns as follows:
+ + ++ +
+ + +- SOURCE - The name +of a client zone (a zone defined in the /etc/shorewall/zones + file , the name of the firewall zone or + "all").
+ +- DEST - The name of + a destination zone (a zone defined in the /etc/shorewall/zones + file , the name of the firewall zone or +"all"). Shorewall automatically allows all traffic from the firewall to +itself so the name of the firewall zone cannot appear +in both the SOURCE and DEST columns.
+ +- POLICY - The default + policy for connection requests from the SOURCE zone to the DESTINATION + zone.
+ +- LOG LEVEL - Optional. + If left empty, no log message is generated when the policy is applied. + Otherwise, this column should contain an integer or name indicating + a syslog level.
+ +- LIMIT:BURST - Optional. + If left empty, TCP connection requests from the SOURCE zone + to the DEST zone will not be rate-limited. Otherwise, this + column specifies the maximum rate at which TCP connection requests + will be accepted followed by a colon (":") followed by the maximum burst + size that will be tolerated. Example: 10/sec:40 specifies +that the maximum rate of TCP connection requests allowed will be 10 per +second and a burst of 40 connections will be tolerated. Connection requests +in excess of these limits will be dropped.
+ + +In the SOURCE and DEST columns, you can enter "all" to indicate all + zones.

This table may be interpreted as follows:

+WARNING:
-/etc/shorewall/policy:

The second entry above says that when Sam is the client, connection - requests should first be process under rules where the source zone is - sam and if there is no match then the connection request should be - treated under rules where the source zone is net.

+
+ Note: When using SNAT, it is a good idea to qualify the source with an IP address or subnet. Otherwise, it is likely that SNAT will occur on connections other than those described in the rule. The reason for this is that SNAT occurs in the Netfilter POSTROUTING hook where it is not possible to restrict the scope of a rule by incoming interface.

Answer: That is usually the result of one of two things:
- +Answer: I have two objections to this setup.
- +If you insist on an IP solution to the accessibility problem - rather than a DNS solution, then assuming that your external interface - is eth0 and your internal interface is eth1 and that eth1 has IP -address 192.168.1.254 with subnet 192.168.1.0/24, do the following:
- -a) In /etc/shorewall/interfaces, specify "multi" as an option - for eth1 (No longer required as of Shorewall version 1.3.9).

Using this technique, you will want to configure your DHCP/PPPoE - client to automatically restart Shorewall each time that you get -a new IP address.
-Answer: This is another problem that is best solved - using Bind Version 9 "views". It allows both external and internal - clients to access a NATed host using the host's DNS name.
- -Another good way to approach this problem is to switch from - static NAT to Proxy ARP. That way, the hosts in Z have non-RFC1918 - addresses and can be accessed externally and internally using the -same address.
- -If you don't like those solutions and prefer routing all Z->Z -traffic through your firewall then:
- -a) Specify "multi" on the entry for Z's interface in /etc/shorewall/interfaces
- (If you are running a Shorewall version earlier than 1.3.9).
- b) Set the Z->Z policy to ACCEPT.
- c) Masquerade Z to itself.

- +3. I want to use Netmeeting/MSN Messenger + with Shorewall. What do I do?
+Answer: There is an H.323 connection - tracking/NAT module that may help. Also check the Netfilter mailing - list archives at http://netfilter.samba.org. -
- -4. I just used an online port scanner - to check my firewall and it shows some ports as 'closed' rather - than 'blocked'. Why?
- -Answer: The common.def included with version 1.3.x - always rejects connection requests on TCP port 113 rather than -dropping them. This is necessary to prevent outgoing connection -problems to services that use the 'Auth' mechanism for identifying -requesting users. Shorewall also rejects TCP ports 135, 137 and 139 -as well as UDP ports 137-139. These are ports that are used by Windows -(Windows can be configured to use the DCE cell locator on port -135). Rejecting these connection requests rather than dropping them -cuts down slightly on the amount of Windows chatter on LAN segments connected - to the Firewall.
- -If you are seeing port 80 being 'closed', that's probably - your ISP preventing you from running a web server in violation -of your Service Agreement.
- -4a. I just ran an nmap UDP scan of my - firewall and it showed 100s of ports as open!!!!
- -Answer: Take a deep breath and read the nmap man page - section about UDP scans. If nmap gets nothing back from -your firewall then it reports the port as open. If you want to see -which UDP ports are really open, temporarily change your net->all -policy to REJECT, restart Shorewall and do the nmap UDP scan again.

-6. Where are the log messages written - and how do I change the destination?
- -Answer: NetFilter uses the kernel's equivalent of syslog -(see "man syslog") to log messages. It always uses the LOG_KERN (kern) facility -(see "man openlog") and you get to choose the log level (again, see "man -syslog") in your policies and rules.

-7. When I stop Shorewall using 'shorewall - stop', I can't connect to anything. Why doesn't that command work?
- -The 'stop' command is intended to place your firewall into - a safe state whereby only those interfaces/hosts having the 'routestopped' - option in /etc/shorewall/interfaces and /etc/shorewall/hosts are activated. - If you want to totally open up your firewall, you must use the 'shorewall - clear' command.
- -8. When I try to start Shorewall on RedHat - 7.x, I get messages about insmod failing -- what's wrong?

-18. Is there any way to use aliased ip addresses - with Shorewall, and maintain separate rulesets for different IPs?
- Answer: Yes. You simply use the IP address in your rules -(or if you use NAT, use the local IP address in your rules). Note: -The ":n" notation (e.g., eth0:0) is deprecated and will disappear eventually. - Neither iproute (ip and tc) nor iptables supports that notation so neither - does Shorewall.

+
+ Host 172.16.1.10 behind NAT gateway 206.124.146.179 sent a UDP DNS + query to 192.0.2.3 and your DNS server tried to send a response (the +response information is in the brackets -- note source port 53 which marks +this as a DNS reply). When the response was returned to to 206.124.146.179, +it rewrote the destination IP TO 172.16.1.10 and forwarded the packet to +172.16.1.10 who no longer had a connection on UDP port 2857. This causes +a port unreachable (type 3, code 3) to be generated back to 192.0.2.3. +As this packet is sent back through 206.124.146.179, that box correctly +changes the source address in the packet to 206.124.146.179 but doesn't +reset the DST IP in the original DNS response similarly. When the ICMP +reaches your firewall (192.0.2.3), your firewall has no record of having +sent a DNS reply to 172.16.1.10 so this ICMP doesn't appear to be related +to anything that was sent. The final result is that the packet gets logged +and dropped in the all2all chain. I have also seen cases where the source +IP in the ICMP itself isn't set back to the external IP of the remote NAT +gateway; that causes your firewall to log and drop the packet out of the +rfc1918 chain because the source IP is reserved by RFC 1918.
+ +22. I have some iptables commands that +I want to run when Shorewall starts. Which file do I put them in?
+ You can place these commands in one of the Shorewall Extension Scripts. Be +sure that you look at the contents of the chain(s) that you will be modifying +with your commands to be sure that the commands will do what they are intended. +Many iptables commands published in HOWTOs and other instructional material +use the -A command which adds the rules to the end of the chain. Most chains +that Shorewall constructs end with an unconditional DROP, ACCEPT or REJECT +rule and any rules that you add after that will be ignored. Check "man iptables" +and look at the -I (--insert) command.

Hosts in the second segment have IP addresses -in the subnet 192.168.2.0/24. I would add the following entry to my /etc/shorewall/maclist - file:

+ + + + + + + +12/27/2002 - Shorewall 1.3.12 Released
+Features include:
+
++
+- "shorewall refresh" now reloads the traffic shaping rules (tcrules + and tcstart).
+- "shorewall debug [re]start" now turns off debugging after an error + occurs. This places the point of the failure near the end of the trace rather + than up in the middle of it.
+- "shorewall [re]start" has been speeded up by more than 40% with my + configuration. Your milage may vary.
+- A "shorewall show classifiers" command has been added which shows +the current packet classification filters. The output from this command is + also added as a separate page in "shorewall monitor"
+- ULOG (must be all caps) is now accepted as a valid syslog level and + causes the subject packets to be logged using the ULOG target rather than + the LOG target. This allows you to run ulogd (available from http://www.gnumonks.org/projects/ulogd) + and log all Shorewall messages to a separate log file.
+- If you are running a kernel that has a FORWARD chain in the mangle + table ("shorewall show mangle" will show you the chains in the mangle table), + you can set MARK_IN_FORWARD_CHAIN=Yes in shorewall.conf. This allows for marking + input packets based on their destination even when you are using Masquerading + or SNAT.
+- I have cluttered up the /etc/shorewall directory with empty 'init', + 'start', 'stop' and 'stopped' files. If you already have a file with one + of these names, don't worry -- the upgrade process won't overwrite your file.
+- I have added a new RFC1918_LOG_LEVEL variable to shorewall.conf. This variable specifies +the syslog level at which packets are logged as a result of entries in the +/etc/shorewall/rfc1918 file. Previously, these packets were always logged +at the 'info' level.
+
+12/20/2002 - Shorewall 1.3.12 Beta 3
+ This version corrects a problem with Blacklist logging. In Beta 2, if BLACKLIST_LOG_LEVEL +was set to anything but ULOG, the firewall would fail to start and "shorewall +refresh" would also fail.
+
+ +12/20/2002 - Shorewall 1.3.12 Beta 2

++ + + ++ + +Shorewall Certificate Authority +(CA) Certificate
+
+ Given that I develop and support Shorewall without asking for any renumeration, +I can hardly justify paying $200US+ a year to a Certificate Authority such +as Thawte (A Division of VeriSign) for an X.509 certificate to prove that +I am who I am. I have therefore established my own Certificate Authority (CA) +and sign my own X.509 certificates. I use these certificates on my web server +(http://www.shorewall.net) as well +as on my mail server (mail.shorewall.net).
+
+ X.509 certificates are the basis for the Secure Socket Layer (SSL). As part +of establishing an SSL session (URL https://...), your browser verifies the +X.509 certificate supplied by the HTTPS server against the set of Certificate +Authority Certificates that were shipped with your browser. It is expected +that the server's certificate was issued by one of the authorities whose identities +are known to your browser.
+
+ This mechanism, while supposedly guaranteeing that when you connect to https://www.foo.bar +you are REALLY connecting to www.foo.bar, means that the CAs literally have +a license to print money -- they are selling a string of bits (an X.509 certificate) +for $200US+ per year!!!I
+
+ I wish that I had decided to become a CA rather that designing and writing +Shorewall.
+
+ What does this mean to you? It means that the X.509 certificate that my +server will present to your browser will not have been signed by one of the +authorities known to your browser. If you try to connect to my server using +SSL, your browser will frown and give you a dialog box asking if you want +to accept the sleezy X.509 certificate being presented by my server.
+
+ There are two things that you can do:
+ ++
+ What are the risks?- You can accept the www.shorewall.net certificate when your browser +asks -- your acceptence of the certificate can be temporary (for that access +only) or perminent.
+- You can download and install my (self-signed) CA +certificate. This will make my Certificate Authority known to your browser +so that it will accept any certificate signed by me.
+ +
+
+ ++
+ I have my CA certificate loaded into all of my browsers but I certainly +won't be offended if you decline to load it into yours... :-)- If you install my CA certificate then you assume that I am trustworthy +and that Shorewall running on your firewall won't redirect HTTPS requests +intented to go to your bank's server to one of my systems that will present +your browser with a bogus certificate claiming that my server is that of +your bank.
+- If you only accept my server's certificate when prompted then the +most that you have to loose is that when you connect to https://www.shorewall.net, +the server you are connecting to might not be mine.
