shorewall-tunnels5Configuration FilestunnelsShorewall VPN definition file/etc/shorewall/tunnelsDescriptionThe tunnels file is used to define rules for encapsulated (usually
encrypted) traffic to pass between the Shorewall system and a remote
gateway. Traffic flowing through the tunnel is handled using the normal
zone/policy/rule mechanism. See http://www.shorewall.net/VPNBasics.html for
details.The columns in the file are as follows.TYPE - {ipsec[:{noah|ah}]|ipsecnat|ipip|gre|l2tp|pptpclient|pptpserver|?COMMENT|{openvpn|openvpnclient|openvpnserver}[:{tcp|udp}][:port]|generic:protocol[:port]}Types are as follows:6to4 or 6in4 - 6to4 or 6in4 tunnel. The 6in4 synonym was added in 4.4.24.
ipsec - IPv4 IPSEC
ipsecnat - IPv4 IPSEC with NAT Traversal (UDP port 4500 encapsulation)
ipip - IPv4 encapsulated in IPv4 (Protocol 4)
gre - Generalized Routing Encapsulation (Protocol 47)
l2tp - Layer 2 Tunneling Protocol (UDP port 1701)
pptpclient - PPTP Client runs on the firewall
pptpserver - PPTP Server runs on the firewall
openvpn - OpenVPN in point-to-point mode
openvpnclient - OpenVPN client runs on the firewall
openvpnserver - OpenVPN server runs on the firewall
generic - Other tunnel type
tinc - TINC (added in Shorewall 4.6.6)If the type is ipsec, it may
be followed by :ah to indicate that
the Authentication Headers protocol (51) is used by the tunnel (the
default is which means that protocol 51 is
not used). NAT traversal is only supported with ESP (protocol 50) so
ipsecnat tunnels don't allow the
ah option (ipsecnat:noah may be specified but is
redundant).If type is openvpn, openvpnclient or openvpnserver it may optionally be followed
by ":" and tcp or udp to specify the protocol to be used. If
not specified, udp is
assumed.If type is openvpn, openvpnclient or openvpnserver it may optionally be followed
by ":" and the port number used by the tunnel. if no ":" and port
number are included, then the default port of 1194 will be used. .
Where both the protocol and port are specified, the protocol must be
given first (e.g., openvpn:tcp:4444).If type is generic, it must
be followed by ":" and a protocol name (from /etc/protocols) or a
protocol number. If the protocol is tcp or udp
(6 or 17), then it may optionally be followed by ":" and a port
number.Comments may be attached to Netfilter rules generated from
entries in this file through the use of /COMMENT lines. These lines
begin with ?COMMENT; the remainder of the line is treated as a
comment which is attached to subsequent rules until another ?COMMENT
line is found or until the end of the file is reached. To stop
adding comments to rules, use a line containing only
?COMMENT.Beginning with Shorewall 4.5.11, ?COMMENT is a synonym for
COMMENT and is preferred.ZONE -
zoneThe zone of the physical interface
through which tunnel traffic passes. This is normally your internet
zone.GATEWAY(S) (gateway or
gateways) - address-or-range[ , ... ]The IP address of the remote tunnel gateway. If the remote
gateway has no fixed address (Road Warrior) then specify the gateway
as 0.0.0.0/0. May be specified as a
network address and if your kernel and iptables include iprange
match support then IP address ranges are also allowed.Beginning with Shorewall 4.5.3, a list of addresses or ranges
may be given. Exclusion (shorewall-exclusion
(5) ) is not supported.GATEWAY ZONES (gateway_zone or
gateway_zones) - [zone[,zone]...]Optional. If the gateway system specified in the third column
is a standalone host then this column should contain a
comma-separated list of the names of the zones that the host might
be in. This column only applies to IPSEC tunnels where it enables
ISAKMP traffic to flow through the tunnel to the remote
gateway(s).ExampleExample 1:IPSec tunnel.The remote gateway is 4.33.99.124 and the remote subnet is
192.168.9.0/24. The tunnel does not use the AH protocol #TYPE ZONE GATEWAY
ipsec:noah net 4.33.99.124Example 2:Road Warrior (LapTop that may connect from anywhere) where the
"gw" zone is used to represent the remote LapTop #TYPE ZONE GATEWAY GATEWAY ZONES
ipsec net 0.0.0.0/0 gwExample 3:Host 4.33.99.124 is a standalone system connected via an ipsec
tunnel to the firewall system. The host is in zone gw. #TYPE ZONE GATEWAY GATEWAY ZONES
ipsec net 4.33.99.124 gwExample 4:Road Warriors that may belong to zones vpn1, vpn2 or vpn3. The
FreeS/Wan _updown script will add the host to the appropriate zone
using the shorewall add command on connect and
will remove the host from the zone at disconnect time. #TYPE ZONE GATEWAY GATEWAY ZONES
ipsec net 0.0.0.0/0 vpn1,vpn2,vpn3Example 5:You run the Linux PPTP client on your firewall and connect to
server 192.0.2.221. #TYPE ZONE GATEWAY GATEWAY ZONES
pptpclient net 192.0.2.221Example 6:You run a PPTP server on your firewall. #TYPE ZONE GATEWAY GATEWAY ZONES
pptpserver net 0.0.0.0/0Example 7:OPENVPN tunnel. The remote gateway is 4.33.99.124 and openvpn
uses port 7777. #TYPE ZONE GATEWAY GATEWAY ZONES
openvpn:7777 net 4.33.99.124Example 8:You have a tunnel that is not one of the supported types. Your
tunnel uses UDP port 4444. The other end of the tunnel is
4.3.99.124. #TYPE ZONE GATEWAY GATEWAY ZONES
generic:udp:4444 net 4.3.99.124Example 9:TINC tunnel where the remote gateways are not specified. If
you wish to specify a list of gateways, you can do so in the GATEWAY
column. #TYPE ZONE GATEWAY GATEWAY ZONES
