Shorewall

2 NIC machine

In /usr/share/doc/shorewall/examples/two-interfaces make the following edits to the following files and then copy them to /etc/shorewall

policy

You may want to allow everything from the local network to the machine and everything from the machine to the net, as well as everything from the machine to the local network in that case add the following to the policy file:

loc             fw              ACCEPT
fw              net             ACCEPT
fw              loc             ACCEPT

If it's a router it would look something like:

loc             net             ACCEPT
net             all             DROP            info
fw              all             ACCEPT
loc             all             ACCEPT
# THE FOLLOWING POLICY MUST BE LAST
all             all             REJECT          info

rules

Allready includes the following

These rules like SSH(ACCEPT) are called macros. you can find macros (and actions) in /usr/share/shorewall/

?SECTION NEW

#       Don't allow connection pickup from the net
#
Invalid(DROP)   net             all
#
#       Accept DNS connections from the firewall to the network
#
DNS(ACCEPT)     $FW             net
#
#       Accept SSH connections from the local network for administration
#
SSH(ACCEPT)     loc             $FW
SNMP(ACCEPT)    loc             $FW
#
#       Allow Ping from the local network
#
Ping(ACCEPT)    loc             $FW

#
# Drop Ping from the "bad" net zone.. and prevent your log from being flooded..
#

Ping(DROP)      net             $FW

ACCEPT          $FW             loc             icmp
ACCEPT          $FW             net             icmp
#

So the following needs to be added: NOTE: snmp should only be udp 161, so not sure if tcp is necessary

SNMP(ACCEPT)    loc             $FW
# Public services
ACCEPT   net    fw      tcp     smtp
ACCEPT   net    fw      tcp     pop3
# 143 is for IMAP
ACCEPT  net     fw      tcp     143
ACCEPT   net    fw      tcp     ssh
FTP/ACCEPT      net     fw
ACCEPT   net    fw      tcp     domain
ACCEPT   net    fw      udp     domain
ACCEPT   net    fw      tcp     http
ACCEPT   net    fw      tcp     https
ACCEPT   net    fw      tcp     snmp
ACCEPT   net    fw      udp     snmp

Also, apt uses port 80, so you want to allow outgoing traffic for that:

ACCEPT  $FW     net     tcp     http

If you don't do this then you will see ipv6 adresses appear in apt-get

Other services you may want to enable from the machine outwards:

# Things we allow from this machine outward
ACCEPT  $FW     net     tcp     https
SSH(ACCEPT)     $FW     loc
ACCEPT  $FW     net     tcp     smtp

For X11 forwarding you will need:

# X11 forwarding
ACCEPT   fw     loc     tcp     x11
ACCEPT   fw     loc     udp     x11

You may want other machines on the local network to access more services:

# Things we accept over the local network
FTP/ACCEPT      loc     $FW
ACCEPT  loc     $FW     tcp     http

interfaces

If you have multiple ip addresses bound to a single NIC, in order to allow traffic to flow up and down that NIC, you have to add the option

routeback

behind the nic.

the rest

just copy the following files to /etc/shorewall/:

masq
routestopped
zones

/etc/default/shorewall

startup=1

To get NFS working

On nfs-kernel-server machine: Edit your /etc/shorewall/rules file like this:

 # Permit NFS
 ACCEPT net $FW tcp 111
 ACCEPT net $FW udp 111
 ACCEPT net $FW udp 2049
 ACCEPT net $FW tcp 2049
 ACCEPT net $FW tcp 32765:32767
 ACCEPT net $FW udp 32765:32767

On nfs-common machine:

# Permit NFS
ACCEPT $FW loc tcp 111
ACCEPT $FW loc udp 111
ACCEPT $FW loc udp 2049
ACCEPT $FW loc tcp 2049
ACCEPT $FW loc tcp 32765:32767
ACCEPT $FW loc udp 32765:32767

/etc/default/nfs-common:

 STATDOPTS="-p 32765 -o 32766"

/etc/default/nfs-kernel-server:

 RPCMOUNTDOPTS="-p 32767"

Make sure in your /etc/services you have the following

 nfs     2049/tcp    # Network File System nfs     2049/udp    # Network File System

old system

The change to /etc/services isn't necessary at all. It just helps produces a nice (sensible) output from netstat -tl on the NFS server.

 # /etc/services
 # NFS ports as per the NFS-HOWTO
 # http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/NFS-HOWTO/security.html#FIREWALLS
 # Listing here does not mean they will bind to these ports.

 rpc.statd       32766/udp                       # RPC statd listen
 rpc.mountd      32767/tcp                       # RPC mountd
 rpc.mountd      32767/udp                       # RPC mountd
 rcp.lockd       32768/tcp                       # RPC lockd/nlockmgr
 rcp.lockd       32768/udp                       # RPC lockd/nlockmgr
 rpc.quotad      32769/tcp                       # RPC quotad
 rpc.quotad      32769/udp                       # RPC quotad

/etc/default/quota

 RPCRQUOTADOPTS="-p 32769"

You can check which ports are being used with

rpcinfo -p

Shorewall6

http://www.shorewall.net/IPv6Support.html

Shorewall6 is the ipv6 version of shorewall. To get it working you need to do above steps and also:

in /etc/shorewall/shorewall.conf

DISABLE_IPV6=No
TC_ENABLED=Internal

/etc/shorewall6/shorewall.conf

TC_ENABLED=No

test using

ip6tables -L
