<para>Prior to 4.4.25, two forms of blacklisting were supported; static

deprecated.</para>

<para>Shorewall static blacklisting support has the following
configuration parameters:</para>
<itemizedlist>
<listitem>
<para>You specify whether you want packets from blacklisted hosts
dropped or rejected using the BLACKLIST_DISPOSITION setting in
<ulink

<para>You list the IP addresses/subnets that you wish to blacklist
in <ulink

(5). You may also specify PROTOCOL and Port numbers/Service names in
the blacklist file.</para>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<para>You specify the interfaces whose incoming packets you want
checked against the blacklist using the <quote>blacklist</quote>
option in <ulink

</listitem>
</itemizedlist>
<para>Prior to Shorewall 4.4.20, only source-address static blacklisting
was supported.</para>
<para>Users with a large static black list may want to set the
DELAYBLACKLISTLOAD option in shorewall.conf (added in Shorewall version
2.2.0). 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".</para>
<para>Beginning with Shorewall 2.4.0, you can use <ulink
url="ipsets.html">ipsets</ulink> to define your static blacklist. Here's
an example:</para>
<programlisting>#ADDRESS/SUBNET PROTOCOL PORT
+Blacklistports[dst]
+Blacklistnets[src,dst]
+Blacklist[src,dst]
#LAST LINE -- ADD YOUR ENTRIES BEFORE THIS ONE -- DO NOT REMOVE</programlisting>
<para>In this example, there is a portmap ipset
<emphasis>Blacklistports</emphasis> that blacklists all traffic with
destination ports included in the ipset. There are also
<emphasis>Blacklistnets</emphasis> (type <emphasis>nethash</emphasis>)
and <emphasis>Blacklist</emphasis> (type <emphasis>iphash</emphasis>)
ipsets that allow blacklisting networks and individual IP addresses.
Note that [src,dst] is specified so that individual entries in the sets
can be bound to other portmap ipsets to allow blacklisting
(<emphasis>source address</emphasis>, <emphasis>destination
port</emphasis>) combinations. For example:</para>
<programlisting>ipset -N SMTP portmap --from 1 --to 31
ipset -A SMTP 25
ipset -A Blacklist 206.124.146.177
ipset -B Blacklist 206.124.146.177 -b SMTP</programlisting>
<para>This will blacklist SMTP traffic from host 206.124.146.177.</para>
