Setting up a Linux system as a firewall for a small network is a fairly straight-forward task if you understand the basics and follow the documentation.

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 its most common configuration:

<title>Shorewall and <trademark>Mandrake</trademark> 9.0+</title>
|
|
<para>
|
|
If you are running Shorewall under <trademark>Mandrake</trademark> 9.0 or later, you can easily configure the above setup using the <trademark>Mandrake</trademark> <quote>Internet Connection Sharing</quote> applet. From the <emphasis><interface>Mandrake Control Center</interface></emphasis>, select <quote><guimenuitem>Network</guimenuitem> & <guisubmenu>Internet</guisubmenu></quote> then <quote><interface>Connection Sharing</interface></quote>.
|
|
</para>
|
|
<para>
|
|
Note however, that the Shorewall configuration produced by <emphasis>Mandrake Internet Connection Sharing</emphasis> is strange and is apt to confuse you if you use the rest of this documentation (it has two local zones; <varname>loc</varname> and <varname>masq</varname> where <varname>loc</varname> is empty; this conflicts with this documentation which assumes a single local zone <varname>loc</varname>). We therefore recommend that once you have set up this sharing that you uninstall the <trademark>Mandrake</trademark> Shorewall RPM and install the one from the <ulink url="download.htm">download</ulink> page then follow the instructions in this Guide.

Shorewall requires that you have the <command>iproute</command>/<command>iproute2</command> package installed (on <trademark>RedHat</trademark>, the package is called <command>iproute</command>). You can tell if this package is installed by the presence of an <command>ip</command> program on your firewall system. As <literal>root</literal>, you can use the <command>which</command> command to check for this program:
|
|
<programlisting>
|
|
[root@gateway root]# which ip
|
|
/sbin/ip
|
|
[root@gateway root]#
|
|
</programlisting>
|
|
I recommend that you first read through the guide to familiarize yourself with what's involved then go back through it again making your configuration changes.

If you edit your configuration files on a <trademark>Windows</trademark> system, you must save them as <trademark>Unix</trademark> files if your editor supports that option or you must run them through <command>dos2unix</command> before trying to use them. Similarly, if you copy a configuration file from your <trademark>Windows</trademark> hard drive to a floppy disk, you must run <command>dos2unix</command> against the copy before using it with Shorewall.

If you have an <acronym>ADSL</acronym> Modem and you use <acronym>PPTP</acronym> to communicate with a server in that modem, you must make the changes recommended here in addition to those detailed below. <acronym>ADSL</acronym> with <acronym>PPTP</acronym> is most commonly found in Europe, notably in Austria.
