<para>Setting up Shorewall on a standalone Linux system is very easy if
|
|
you understand the basics and follow the documentation.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>This guide doesn't attempt to acquaint you with all of the
|
|
features of Shorewall. It rather focuses on what is required to configure
|
|
Shorewall in one of its most common configurations:</para>

<title>Requirements</title>
|
|
|
|
<para>Shorewall requires that you have the iproute/iproute2 package
|
|
installed (on RedHat, the package is called <emphasis>iproute</emphasis>).
|
|
You can tell if this package is installed by the presence of an
|
|
<emphasis role="bold">ip</emphasis> program on your firewall system. As
|
|
root, you can use the <quote>which</quote> command to check for this
|
|
program:</para>
|
|
|
|
<programlisting>[root@gateway root]# which ip
|
|
/sbin/ip
|

[root@gateway root]#</programlisting>

<title>Before you start</title>
|

<para>I recommend that you read through the guide first to familiarize
|
|
yourself with what's involved then go back through it again making
|
|
your configuration changes.</para>
|
|
|
|
<caution>
|
|
<para>If you edit your configuration files on a Windows system, you
|
|
must save them as Unix files if your editor supports that option or
|
|
you must run them through dos2unix before trying to use them.
|
|
Similarly, if you copy a configuration file from your Windows hard
|
|
drive to a floppy disk, you must run dos2unix against the copy before
|
|
using it with Shorewall.</para>

|

<para>The configuration files for Shorewall are contained in the directory
|
|
<filename class="directory">/etc/shorewall</filename> -- for simple
|
|
setups, you only need to deal with a few of these as described in this
|
|
guide. After you have <ulink url="Install.htm">installed Shorewall</ulink>,
|
|
<emphasis role="bold">download the <ulink
|
|
url="http://www1.shorewall.net/pub/shorewall/Samples/">one-interface
|
|
sample</ulink>, un-tar it (tar -zxvf one-interface.tgz) and and copy the
|
|
files to /etc/shorewall (they will replace files with the same names that
|
|
were placed in /etc/shorewall during Shorewall installation)</emphasis>.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>As each file is introduced, I suggest that you look through the
|
|
actual file on your system -- each file contains detailed configuration
|
|
instructions and default entries.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>Shorewall views the network where it is running as being composed of
|
|
a set of <emphasis>zones</emphasis>. In the one-interface sample

configuration, only one zone is defined:</para>

<para>For each connection request entering the firewall, the request is

first policy in <filename>/etc/shorewall/policy</filename> that matches

the request is applied. If that policy is REJECT or DROP the request is

first checked against the rules in /etc/shorewall/common if that file

exists; otherwise the rules in <filename>/etc/shorewall/common.def</filename>

are checked.</para>

<title>External Interface</title>
|
|
|
|
<para>The firewall has a single network interface. Where Internet
|
|
connectivity is through a cable or DSL <quote>Modem</quote>, the
|
|
<emphasis>External Interface</emphasis> will be the ethernet adapter (<emphasis
|
|
role="bold">eth0</emphasis>) that is connected to that <quote>Modem</quote>
|
|
<emphasis role="underline">unless</emphasis> you connect via
|
|
<emphasis>Point-to-Point Protocol over Ethernet</emphasis> (PPPoE) or
|
|
<emphasis>Point-to-Point Tunneling Protocol</emphasis> (PPTP) in which
|
|
case the External Interface will be a <emphasis role="bold">ppp0</emphasis>.
|
|
If you connect via a regular modem, your External Interface will also be
|
|
<emphasis role="bold">ppp0</emphasis>. If you connect using ISDN, your
|
|
external interface will be <emphasis role="bold">ippp0</emphasis>.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para><inlinegraphic fileref="images/BD21298_.gif" format="GIF" /></para>
|
|
|
|
<para>The Shorewall one-interface sample configuration assumes that the
|
|
external interface is <emphasis role="bold">eth0</emphasis>. If your
|
|
configuration is different, you will have to modify the sample
|
|
/etc/shorewall/interfaces file accordingly. While you are there, you may
|
|
wish to review the list of options that are specified for the interface.
|
|
Some hints:</para>
|
|
|
|
<tip>
|
|
<para>If your external interface is <emphasis role="bold">ppp0</emphasis>
|
|
or <emphasis role="bold">ippp0</emphasis>, you can replace the
|
|
<quote>detect</quote> in the second column with <quote>-</quote>.</para>
|
|
</tip>
|
|
|
|
<tip>
|
|
<para>If your external interface is <emphasis role="bold">ppp0</emphasis>
|
|
or <emphasis role="bold">ippp0</emphasis> or if you have a static IP
|
|
address, you can remove <quote>dhcp</quote> from the option list.</para>
|
|
</tip>
|
|
|
|
<tip>
|
|
<para>If you specify <emphasis>norfc1918</emphasis> for your external
|
|
interface, you will want to check the <ulink url="errata.htm">Shorewall
|
|
Errata</ulink> periodically for updates to the <filename>/etc/shorewall/rfc1918
|
|
file</filename>. Alternatively, you can <ulink url="myfiles.htm#RFC1918">strip
|
|
down your <filename>/etc/shorewall/rfc1918</filename> file as I do</ulink>.</para>

|
</tip>

<section>
|
|
<title>IP Addresses</title>
|
|
|
|
<para>RFC 1918 reserves several <emphasis>Private</emphasis> IP address
|
|
ranges for use in private networks:</para>
|
|
|
|
<programlisting>10.0.0.0 - 10.255.255.255
|
|
172.16.0.0 - 172.31.255.255
|
|
192.168.0.0 - 192.168.255.255</programlisting>
|
|
|
|
<para>These addresses are sometimes referred to as <emphasis>non-routable</emphasis>
|
|
because the Internet backbone routers will not forward a packet whose
|
|
destination address is reserved by RFC 1918. In some cases though, ISPs
|
|
are assigning these addresses then using <emphasis>Network Address
|
|
Translation</emphasis> to rewrite packet headers when forwarding to/from
|
|
the internet.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para><inlinegraphic fileref="images/BD21298_.gif" format="GIF" /></para>
|
|
|
|
<para>Before starting Shorewall, you should look at the IP address of your
|
|
external interface and if it is one of the above ranges, you should remove
|
|
the <quote>norfc1918</quote> option from the entry in
|
|
<filename>/etc/shorewall/interfaces</filename>.</para>

<title>Enabling other Connections</title>
|
|
|
|
<para>If you wish to enable connections from the internet to your
|
|
firewall, the general format of a rule in <filename>/etc/shorewall/rules</filename>
|
|
is:</para>
|
|
|
|
<programlisting>#ACTION SOURCE DESTINATION PROTO DEST PORT(S)
|
|
ACCEPT net fw <emphasis><protocol></emphasis> <emphasis><port></emphasis></programlisting>
|
|

<example>
|
|
<title>You want to run a Web Server and a POP3 Server on your firewall

system:</title>

<para><programlisting>#ACTION SOURCE DESTINATION PROTO DEST PORT(S)
|
|
ACCEPT net fw tcp 80
|
|
ACCEPT net fw tcp 110</programlisting></para>
|
|
</example>
|
|
|
|
<para>If you don't know what port and protocol a particular
|
|
application uses, see <ulink url="ports.htm">here</ulink>.</para>
|
|
|
|
<important>
|
|
<para>I don't recommend enabling telnet to/from the internet because
|
|
it uses clear text (even for login!). If you want shell access to your
|
|
firewall from the internet, use SSH:</para>
|
|
|
|
<programlisting>#ACTION SOURCE DESTINATION PROTO DEST PORT(S)
|
|
ACCEPT net fw tcp 22</programlisting>
|

<para>The <ulink url="Install.htm">installation procedure</ulink>

configures your system to start Shorewall at system boot but beginning
|
|
with Shorewall version 1.3.9 startup is disabled so that your system
|
|
won't try to start Shorewall before configuration is complete. Once
|
|
you have completed configuration of your firewall, you can enable
|
|
Shorewall startup by removing the file <filename>/etc/shorewall/startup_disabled</filename>.</para>

<para>The firewall is started using the <quote><command>shorewall start</command></quote>

|
|
When the firewall is stopped, routing is enabled on those hosts that have
|
|
an entry in <filename><ulink url="Documentation.htm#Routestopped">/etc/shorewall/routestopped</ulink></filename>.
|
|
A running firewall may be restarted using the <quote><command>shorewall
|
|
restart</command></quote> command. If you want to totally remove any trace
|
|
of Shorewall from your Netfilter configuration, use <quote><command>shorewall

<warning>
|
|
<para>If you are connected to your firewall from the internet, do not

|
you have added an entry for the IP address that you are connected from

|
to <ulink url="Documentation.htm#Routestopped"><filename>/etc/shorewall/routestopped</filename></ulink>.

Also, I don't recommend using <quote><command>shorewall restart</command></quote>;

it is better to create an <emphasis><ulink
