My Current Network

Warning 1: I use a combination of One-to-one NAT and Proxy ARP, neither of which are relevant to a simple configuration with a single public IP address. If you have just a single public IP address, most of what you see here won't apply to your setup so beware of copying parts of this configuration and expecting them to work for you. What you copy may or may not work in your configuration.

Warning 2: The configuration shown here corresponds to Shorewall version 1.4.7. It may use features not available in earlier Shorewall releases.

I have DSL service and have 5 static IP addresses (206.124.146.176-180). My DSL "modem" (Fujitsu Speedport) is connected to eth0. I have a local network connected to eth2 (subnet 192.168.1.0/24), a DMZ connected to eth1 (192.168.2.0/24) and a Wireless network connected to eth3 (192.168.3.0/24).

I use:

The firewall runs on a 256MB PII/233 with RH9.0.

Wookie and the Firewall both run Samba and the Firewall acts as a WINS server.

Wookie is in its own 'whitelist' zone called 'me' which is embedded in the local zone.

The wireless network connects to eth3 via a LinkSys WAP11.  In additional to using the rather weak WEP 40-bit encryption (64-bit with the 24-bit preamble), I use MAC verification. This is still a weak combination and if I lived near a wireless "hot spot", I would probably add IPSEC or something similar to my WiFi->local connections.

The single system in the DMZ (address 206.124.146.177) runs postfix, Courier IMAP (imaps and pop3), DNS, a Web server (Apache) and an FTP server (Pure-ftpd). The system also runs fetchmail to fetch our email from our old and current ISPs. That server is managed through Proxy ARP.

The firewall system itself runs a DHCP server that serves the local network.

All administration and publishing is done using ssh/scp. I have X installed on the firewall but no X server or desktop is installed. X applications tunnel through SSH to XWin.exe running on Ursa. The server does have a desktop environment installed and that desktop environment is available via XDMCP from the local zone. For the most part though, X tunneled through SSH is used for server administration and the server runs at run level 3 (multi-user console mode on RedHat).

I run an SNMP server on my firewall to serve MRTG running in the DMZ.

(My network layout)

 

The ethernet interface in the Server is configured with IP address 206.124.146.177, netmask 255.255.255.0. The server's default gateway is 206.124.146.254 (Router at my ISP. This is the same default gateway used by the firewall itself). On the firewall, my /sbin/ifup-local script (see below) adds a host route to 206.124.146.177 through eth1 when that interface is brought up.

Ursa (192.168.1.5 A.K.A. 206.124.146.178) runs a PPTP server for Road Warrior access.

Masq File:

Although most of our internal systems use one-to-one NAT, my wife's system (192.168.1.4) uses IP Masquerading (actually SNAT) as does my personal system (192.168.1.3), our laptop (192.168.3.8) and visitors with laptops.

I prefer to allow SYN, FIN and RST packets unconditionally rather than just on 'newnotsyn' interfaces as is the case with the standard Shorewall ruleset. This file deletes the Shorewall-generated rules for these packets and creates my own.

run_iptables -D newnotsyn -i $interface -p tcp --tcp-flags ACK ACK -j ACCEPT
run_iptables -D newnotsyn -i $interface -p tcp --tcp-flags RST RST -j ACCEPT
