rules — Shorewall6 rules file
/etc/shorewall6/rules
Entries in this file govern connection establishment by defining exceptions to the policies laid out in shorewall6-policy(5). By default, subsequent requests and responses are automatically allowed using connection tracking. For any particular (source,dest) pair of zones, the rules are evaluated in the order in which they appear in this file and the first terminating match is the one that determines the disposition of the request. All rules are terminating except LOG and QUEUE rules.
The rules file is divided into sections. Each section is introduced by a "Section Header" which is a line beginning with ?SECTION and followed by the section name.
Sections are as follows and must appear in the order listed:
This section was added in Shorewall 4.4.23. rules in this section are applied, regardless of the connection tracking state of the packet.
Packets in the ESTABLISHED state are processed by rules in this section.
The only ACTIONs allowed in this section are ACCEPT, DROP, REJECT, LOG and QUEUE
There is an implicit ACCEPT rule inserted at the end of this section.
Packets in the RELATED state are processed by rules in this section.
The only ACTIONs allowed in this section are ACCEPT, DROP, REJECT, LOG and QUEUE
There is an implicit rule added at the end of this section that invokes the RELATED_DISPOSITION (shorewall6.conf(5)).
Added in Shorewall 4.5.13. Packets in the INVALID state are processed by rules in this section.
The only Actions allowed in this section are ACCEPT, DROP, REJECT, LOG and QUEUE.
There is an implicit rule added at the end of this section that invokes the INVALID_DISPOSITION (shorewall6.conf(5)).
Added in Shorewall 4.5.13. Packets in the UNTRACKED state are processed by rules in this section.
The only Actions allowed in this section are ACCEPT, DROP, REJECT, LOG and QUEUE.
There is an implicit rule added at the end of this section that invokes the UNTRACKED_DISPOSITION (shorewall6.conf(5)).
Packets in the NEW state are processed by rules in this section. If the INVALID and/or UNTRACKED sections are empty or not included, then the packets in the corresponding state(s) are also processed in this section.
If you are not familiar with Netfilter to the point where you are comfortable with the differences between the various connection tracking states, then it is suggested that you omit the ESTABLISHED and RELATED sections and place all of your rules in the NEW section (That's after the line that reads ?SECTION NEW').
If you specify FASTACCEPT=Yes in shorewall6.conf(5) then the ESTABLISHED and RELATED sections must be empty.
An except is made if you are running Shorewall 4.4.27 or later and you have specified a non-default value for RELATED_DISPOSITION or RELATED_LOG_LEVEL. In that case, you may have rules in the RELATED section of this file.
You may omit any section that you don't need. If no Section Headers appear in the file then all rules are assumed to be in the NEW section.
The columns in the file are as follows (where the column name is followed by a different name in parentheses, the different name is used in the alternate specification syntax).
target
[:{log-level|none}[!][:tag]]Specifies the action to be taken if the connection request
matches the rule. target
must be one of
the following.
Allow the connection request.
like ACCEPT but also excludes the connection from any subsequent matching DNAT[-] or REDIRECT[-] rules. Requires Shorewall 4.5.14 or later.
like ACCEPT but exempts the rule from being suppressed by OPTIMIZE=1 in shorewall6.conf(5).
The name of an action declared in shorewall6-actions(5) or in /usr/share/shorewall/actions.std.
ipset
:flags
)Added in Shorewall 4.4.12. Causes addresses and/or port
numbers to be added to the named
ipset
. The
flags
specify the address or tuple
to be added to the set and must match the type of ipset
involved. For example, for an iphash ipset, either the SOURCE
or DESTINATION address can be added using
flags
src or dst respectively (see the -A command in
ipset (8)).
ADD is non-terminating. Even if a packet matches the rule, it is passed on to the next rule.
Added in Shorewall 4.5.10. Audits the packet with the
specified type; if the type is omitted, then
drop
is assumed. Require AUDIT_TARGET support
in the kernel and iptables.
Added in Shorewall 4.4.20. Audited versions of ACCEPT and ACCEPT! respectively. Require AUDIT_TARGET support in the kernel and iptables.
Added in Shorewall 4.4.20. Audited versions of DROP and DROP! respectively. Require AUDIT_TARGET support in the kernel and iptables.
Added in Shorewall 4.4.20. Audited versions of REJECT and REJECT! respectively. Require AUDIT_TARGET support in the kernel and iptables.
the rest of the line will be attached as a comment to the Netfilter rule(s) generated by the following entries. The comment will appear delimited by "/* ... */" in the output of "shorewall show <chain>". To stop the comment from being attached to further rules, simply include COMMENT on a line by itself.
Beginning with Shorewall 4.5.11, ?COMMENT is a synonym for COMMENT and is preferred.
For experts only.
Do not process any of the following rules for this (source zone,destination zone). If the source and/or destination IP address falls into a zone defined later in shorewall6-zones(5) or in a parent zone of the source or destination zones, then this connection request will be passed to the rules defined for that (those) zone(s). See shorewall6-nesting(5) for additional information.
like CONTINUE but exempts the rule from being suppressed by OPTIMIZE=1 in shorewall6.conf(5).
Simply increment the rule's packet and byte count and pass the packet to the next rule.
ipset
:flags
)Added in Shorewall 4.4.12. Causes an entry to be deleted
from the named ipset
. The
flags
specify the address or tuple
to be deleted from the set and must match the type of ipset
involved. For example, for an iphash ipset, either the SOURCE
or DESTINATION address can be deleted using
flags
src or dst respectively (see the -D command in
ipset (8)).
DEL is non-terminating. Even if a packet matches the rule, it is passed on to the next rule.
Forward the request to another system (and optionally another port). Requires Shorewall 4.5.14 or later.
Advanced users only.
Like DNAT but only generates the DNAT iptables rule and not the companion ACCEPT rule. Requires Shorewall 4.5.14 or later.
Ignore the request.
like DROP but exempts the rule from being suppressed by OPTIMIZE=1 in shorewall6.conf(5).
Added in Shorewall 4.5.7. This action requires that the HELPER column contains the name of the Netfilter helper to be associated with connections matching this connection. May only be specified in the NEW section and is useful for being able to specify a helper when the applicable policy is ACCEPT. No destination zone should be specified in HELPER rules.
action
)]Added in Shorewall 4.5.16. This action allows you to construct most of the rule yourself using ip6tables syntax. The part that you specify must follow a semicolon (';') and is completely free-form. If the target of the rule (the part following 'j') is something that Shorewall supports in the ACTION column, then you may enclose it in parentheses (e.g., INLINE(ACCEPT)). Otherwise, you can include it after the semicolon. In this case, you must declare the target as a builtin action in shorewall6-actions(5).
Some considerations when using INLINE:
The p
, s
,
d
, i
,
o
, policy
, and state
match (state
or conntrack
--ctstate
) matches will always appear in the
front of the rule in that order.
When multiple matches are specified, the compiler will keep them in the order in which they appear (excluding the above listed ones), but they will not necessarily be at the end of the generated rule. For example, if addresses are specified in the SOURCE and/or DEST columns, their generated matches will appear after those specified using ';'.
ip6tables-target
[option
...])This action allows you to specify an ip6tables target
with options (e.g., 'IPTABLES(MARK --set-xmark 0x01/0xff)'. If
the ip6tables-target
is not one
recognized by Shorewall, the following error message will be
issued:
ERROR: Unknown target (ip6tables-target
)
This error message may be eliminated by adding
the
ip6tables-
target
as a
builtin action in shorewall6-actions(5).
If you specify REJECT as the
ip6tables-target
, the target of
the rule will be the i6ptables REJECT target and not
Shorewall's builtin 'reject' chain which is used when REJECT
(see below) is specified as the
target
in the ACTION
column.
level
Simply log the packet and continue with the next rule.
macrotarget
)]The name of a macro defined in a file named macro.macro. If the macro accepts an action parameter (Look at the macro source to see if it has PARAM in the TARGET column) then the macro name is followed by the parenthesized macrotarget (ACCEPT, DROP, REJECT, ...) to be substituted for the parameter.
Example: FTP(ACCEPT).
The older syntax where the macro name and the target are separated by a slash (e.g. FTP/ACCEPT) is still allowed but is deprecated.
nflog-parameters
)]Added in Shorewall 4.5.9.3. Queues matching packets to a back end logging daemon via a netlink socket then continues to the next rule. See http://www.shorewall.net/shorewall_logging.html.
Similar to
LOG:NFLOG[(nflog-parameters
)],
except that the log level is not changed when this ACTION is
used in an action or macro and the invocation of that action
or macro specifies a log level.
queuenumber
1[:queuenumber2
][,bypass]]|bypass)]Queues the packet to a user-space application using the
nfnetlink_queue mechanism. If a
queuenumber
1 is not specified,
queue zero (0) is assumed. Beginning with Shorewall 4.6.10,
the keyword bypass can be
given. By default, if no userspace program is listening on an
NFQUEUE, then all packets that are to be queued are dropped.
When this option is used, the NFQUEUE rule is silently
bypassed instead. The packet will move on to the next rule.
Also beginning in Shorewall 4.6.10, a second queue number
(queuenumber2
) may be specified.
This specifies a range of queues to use. Packets are then
balanced across the given queues. This is useful for multicore
systems: start multiple instances of the userspace program on
queues x, x+1, .. x+n and use "x:x+n". Packets belonging to
the same connection are put into the same nfqueue.
queuenumber1
[,queuenumber2
][,bypass]]|bypass)]like NFQUEUE but exempts the rule from being suppressed by OPTIMIZE=1 in shorewall6.conf(5).
Excludes the connection from any subsequent DNAT[-] or REDIRECT[-] rules but doesn't generate a rule to accept the traffic. Requires Shorewall 4.5.14 or later.
Queue the packet to a user-space application such as ftwall (http://p2pwall.sf.net). The application may reinsert the packet for further processing.
like QUEUE but exempts the rule from being suppressed by OPTIMIZE=1 in shorewall6.conf(5).
Redirect the request to a server running on the firewall. Requires Shorewall 4.5.14 or later.
Advanced users only.
Like REDIRECT but only generates the REDIRECT iptables rule and not the companion ACCEPT rule. Requires Shorewall 4.5.14 or later.
disallow the request and return an icmp-unreachable or an RST packet.
like REJECT but exempts the rule from being suppressed by OPTIMIZE=1 in shorewall6.conf(5).
Added in Shorewall 4.6.6.
TARPIT captures and holds incoming TCP connections using no local per-connection resources.
TARPIT only works with the PROTO column set to tcp (6), and is totally application agnostic. This module will answer a TCP request and play along like a listening server, but aside from sending an ACK or RST, no data is sent. Incoming packets are ignored and dropped. The attacker will terminate the session eventually. This module allows the initial packets of an attack to be captured by other software for inspection. In most cases this is sufficient to determine the nature of the attack.
This offers similar functionality to LaBrea <http://www.hackbusters.net/LaBrea/> but does not require dedicated hardware or IPs. Any TCP port that you would normally DROP or REJECT can instead become a tarpit.
The target accepts a single optional parameter:
This mode is the default and completes a connection with the attacker but limits the window size to 0, thus keeping the attacker waiting long periods of time. While he is maintaining state of the connection and trying to continue every 60-240 seconds, we keep none, so it is very lightweight. Attempts to close the connection are ignored, forcing the remote side to time out the connection in 12-24 minutes.
This mode completes a connection with the attacker, but signals a normal window size, so that the remote side will attempt to send data, often with some very nasty exploit attempts. We can capture these packets for decoding and further analysis. The module does not send any data, so if the remote expects an application level response, the game is up.
This mode is handy because we can send an inline RST (reset). It has no other function.
The target
may optionally be
followed by ":" and a syslog log level (e.g, REJECT:info or
Web(ACCEPT):debug). This causes the packet to be logged at the
specified level. Note that if the ACTION involves destination network address
translation (DNAT, REDIRECT, etc.) then the packet is logged
before the destination address is
rewritten.
If the ACTION names an action declared in shorewall-actions(5) or in /usr/share/shorewall/actions.std then:
If the log level is followed by "!' then all rules in the action are logged at the log level.
If the log level is not followed by "!" then only those rules in the action that do not specify logging are logged at the specified level.
The special log level none! suppresses logging by the action.
You may also specify ULOG or NFLOG (must be in upper case) as a log level.This will log to the ULOG or NFLOG target for routing to a separate log through use of ulogd (http://www.netfilter.org/projects/ulogd/index.html).
Actions specifying logging may be followed by a log tag (a string of alphanumeric characters) which is appended to the string generated by the LOGPREFIX (in shorewall6.conf(5)).
Example: ACCEPT:info:ftp would include 'ftp ' at the end of the log prefix generated by the LOGPREFIX setting.
<
{address-or-range[,address-or-range]...[exclusion]>
|exclusion|+ipset|^countrycode-list
}Source hosts to which the rule applies. May be a zone declared in /etc/shorewall6/zones, $FW to indicate the firewall itself, all, all+, all-, all+- or none.
Beginning with Shorewall 4.4.13, you may use a
zone-list
which consists of a
comma-separated list of zones declared in shorewall6-zones (5).
This zone-list
may be optionally followed
by "+" to indicate that the rule is to apply to intra-zone traffic
as well as inter-zone traffic.
When none is used either in the SOURCE or DEST column, the rule is ignored.
all means "All Zones", including the firewall itself. all- means "All Zones, except the firewall itself". When all[-] is used either in the SOURCE or DEST column intra-zone traffic is not affected. When all+[-] is "used, intra-zone traffic is affected. Beginning with Shorewall 4.4.13, exclusion is supported -- see see shorewall6-exclusion(5).
any is equivalent to all when there are no nested zones. When there are nested zones, any only refers to top-level zones (those with no parent zones). Note that any excludes all vserver zones, since those zones are nested within the firewall zone.
Except when all[+][-] or any[+][-] is specified, clients may be further restricted to a list of networks and/or hosts by appending ":" and a comma-separated list of network and/or host addresses. Hosts may be specified by IP or MAC address; mac addresses must begin with "~" and must use "-" as a separator.
Hosts may also be specified as an IP address range using the syntax lowaddress-highaddress. This requires that your kernel and ip6tables contain iprange match support. If your kernel and ip6tables have ipset match support then you may give the name of an ipset prefaced by "+". The ipset name may be optionally followed by a number from 1 to 6 enclosed in square brackets ([]) to indicate the number of levels of source bindings to be matched.
Beginning with Shorewall6 4.4.17, the primary IP address of a firewall interface can be specified by an ampersand ('&') followed by the logical name of the interface as found in the INTERFACE column of shorewall6-interfaces (5).
Beginning with Shorewall 4.5.4, A
countrycode-list
may be specified. A
countrycode-list is a comma-separated list of up to 15 two-character
ISO-3661 country codes enclosed in square brackets ('[...]') and
preceded by a caret ('^'). When a single country code is given, the
square brackets may be omitted. A list of country codes supported by
Shorewall may be found at http://www.shorewall.net/ISO-3661.html.
Specifying a countrycode-list
requires
GeoIP Match support in your ip6tables and
Kernel.
When an interface
is not specified,
you may omit the angled brackets ('<' and '>') around the
address(es) or you may supply them to improve readability.
You may exclude certain hosts from the set already defined through use of an exclusion (see shorewall6-exclusion(5)).
Examples:
Host 2002:ce7c:92b4:1::2 in the DMZ
Subnet 2001:4d48:ad51:24::/64 on the Internet
Hosts 2002:cec792b4:1::2 and 2002:cec792b4:1::44 in the local zone.
Host in the local zone with MAC address 00:A0:C9:15:39:78.
Subnet 2001:4d48:ad51:24::/64 on the Internet except for 2001:4d48:ad51:24:6:/80.
The primary IP address of eth0 in the firewall zone (Shorewall6 4.4.17 and later).
Alternatively, clients may be specified by interface by appending ":" to the zone name followed by the interface name. For example, loc:eth1 specifies a client that communicates with the firewall system through eth1. This may be optionally followed by another colon (":") and an IP/MAC/subnet address as described above (e.g., loc:eth1:<2002:ce7c::92b4:1::2>).
Examples:
Hosts 2002:cec792b4:1::2 and 2002:cec792b4:1::44 in the Local zone, with both originating from eth1
<
{address-or-range[,address-or-range]...[exclusion]>
|exclusion|+ipset|^countrycode-list}[:
port
[:random]]Location of Server. May be a zone declared in shorewall6-zones(5), $FW to indicate the firewall itself, all. all+ or none.
Beginning with Shorewall 4.4.13, you may use a
zone-list
which consists of a
comma-separated list of zones declared in shorewall6-zones (5).
Ths zone-list
may be optionally followed
by "+" to indicate that the rule is to apply to intra-zone traffic
as well as inter-zone traffic. Beginning with Shorewall-4.4.13,
exclusion is supported -- see see shorewall6-exclusion(5).
Beginning with Shorewall6 4.4.17, the primary IP address of a firewall interface can be specified by an ampersand ('&') followed by the logical name of the interface as found in the INTERFACE column of shorewall6-interfaces (5).
Beginning with Shorewall 4.5.4, A
countrycode-list
may be specified. A
countrycode-list is a comma-separated list of up to 15 two-character
ISO-3661 country codes enclosed in square brackets ('[...]') and
preceded by a caret ('^'). When a single country code is given, the
square brackets may be omitted. A list of country codes supported by
Shorewall may be found at http://www.shorewall.net/ISO-3661.html.
Specifying a countrycode-list
requires
GeoIP Match support in your ip6tables and
Kernel.
When none is used either in the SOURCE or DEST column, the rule is ignored.
When all is used either in the SOURCE or DEST column intra-zone traffic is not affected. When all+ is used, intra-zone traffic is affected.
If the DEST zone
is a bport zone,
then either:
the SOURCE must be all[+][-]
, or
the SOURCE zone
must be
another bport zone associated with the same bridge, or
the SOURCE zone
must be an
ipv4 zone that is associated with only the same bridge.
Except when all[+]|[-] is specified, the server may be further restricted to a particular network, host or interface by appending ":" and the network, host or interface. See SOURCE above.
You may exclude certain hosts from the set already defined through use of an exclusion (see shorewall6-exclusion(5)).
Restriction: MAC addresses are not allowed (this is a Netfilter restriction).
If your kernel and ip6tables have ipset match support then you may give the name of an ipset prefaced by "+". The ipset name may be optionally followed by a number from 1 to 6 enclosed in square brackets ([]) to indicate the number of levels of destination bindings to be matched. Only one of the SOURCE and DEST columns may specify an ipset name.
The port
that the server is
listening on may be included and separated from the server's IP
address by ":". If omitted, the firewall will not modify the
destination port. A destination port may only be included if the
ACTION is DNAT or REDIRECT.
loc:[2001:470:b:227::44]:3128 specifies a local server at IP address 2001:470:b:227::44 and listening on port 3128.
loc:[]:3128 specifies that the destination port should be changed to 3128 but the IP address should remain the same.
The port may be specified as a service name. You may specify a port range in the form lowport-highport to cause connections to be assigned to ports in the range in round-robin fashion. When a port range is specified, lowport and highport must be given as integers; service names are not permitted. Additionally, the port range may be optionally followed by :random which causes assignment to ports in the list to be random.
If the ACTION is REDIRECT or REDIRECT-, this column needs only to contain
the port number on the firewall that the request should be
redirected to. That is equivalent to specifying
$FW
::port
.
Optional protocol - ipp2p* requires ipp2p match support in your kernel and ip6tables. tcp:syn implies tcp plus the SYN flag must be set and the RST,ACK and FIN flags must be reset.
Beginning with Shorewall6 4.4.19, this column can contain a comma-separated list of protocol-numbers and/or protocol names (e.g., tcp,udp).
ipset
}Optional destination Ports. A comma-separated list of Port names (from services(5)), port numbers or port ranges; if the protocol is icmp, this column is interpreted as the destination icmp-type(s). ICMP types may be specified as a numeric type, a numeric type and code separated by a slash (e.g., 3/4), or a typename. See http://www.shorewall.net/configuration_file_basics.htm#ICMP. Note that prior to Shorewall6 4.4.19, only a single ICMP type may be listed.
If the protocol is ipp2p, this column is interpreted as an ipp2p option without the leading "--" (example bit for bit-torrent). If no port is given, ipp2p is assumed.
A port range is expressed as lowport:highport.
This column is ignored if PROTO = all but must be entered if any of the following columns are supplied. In that case, it is suggested that this field contain a dash (-).
If your kernel contains multi-port match support, then only a single Netfilter rule will be generated in this list and the CLIENT PORT(S) list below if:
1. There are 15 or less ports listed.
2. No port ranges are included or your kernel and ip6tables contain extended multi-port match support.
Beginning with Shorewall 4.6.0, an
ipset
name can be specified in this
column. This is intended to be used with
bitmap:port ipsets.
ipset
}Optional source port(s). If omitted, any source port is acceptable. Specified as a comma- separated list of port names, port numbers or port ranges.
Beginning with Shorewall 4.5.15, you may place '=' in this column, provided that the DEST PORT(S) column is non-empty. This causes the rule to match when either the source port or the destination port in a packet matches one of the ports specified in DEST PORTS(S). Use of '=' requires multi-port match in your iptables and kernel.
Unless you really understand IP, you should leave this column empty or place a dash (-) in the column. Most people who try to use this column get it wrong.
If you don't want to restrict client ports but need to specify a later column, then place "-" in this column.
If your kernel contains multi-port match support, then only a single Netfilter rule will be generated if in this list and the DEST PORT(S) list above:
1. There are 15 or less ports listed.
2. No port ranges are included or your kernel and ip6tables contain extended multi-port match support.
Beginning with Shorewall 4.6.0, an ipset name can be specified in this column. This is intended to be used with bitmap:port ipsets.
Included for compatibility with Shorewall. Enter '-' in this column if you need to specify one of the later columns.
limit
where limit
is one of:
[-|[{s|d}:[[name ]:]]]rate/{sec|min|hour|day}[:burst] |
[name 1]:rate1/{sec|min|hour|day}[:burst1],[name 2]:rate2/{sec|min|hour|day}[:burst2] |
You may optionally rate-limit the rule by placing a value in this column:
rate* is the number of connections per interval (sec or min) and burst* is the largest burst permitted. If no burst is given, a value of 5 is assumed. There may be no no white-space embedded in the specification.
Example: 10/sec:20
When s:
or d:
is specified,
the rate applies per source IP address or per destination IP address
respectively. The name
s may be chosen by
the user and specifiy a hash table to be used to count matching
connections. If not given, the name shorewallN (where N is a unique integer) is
assumed. Where more than one rule or POLICY specifies the same name,
the connections counts for the rules are aggregated and the
individual rates apply to the aggregated count.
Beginning with Shorewall 4.6.5, two
limit
s may be specified, separated by a comma. In this
case, the first limit (name1
,
rate1
, burst1) specifies the per-source
IP limit and the second limit specifies the per-destination IP
limit.
Example: client:10/sec:20,:60/sec:100
In this example, the 'client' hash table will be used to enforce the per-source limit and the compiler will pick a unique name for the hash table that tracks the per-destination limit.
This optional column may only be non-empty if the SOURCE is the firewall itself.
When this column is non-empty, the rule applies only if the program generating the output is running under the effective user and/or group specified (or is NOT running under that id if "!" is given).
Beginning with Shorewall 4.5.8, multiple user or group names/ids separated by commas may be specified.
Examples:
program must be run by joe
program must be run by a member of the 'kids' group
program must not be run by a member of the 'kids' group
UIDs 2001 through 2099 (Shorewall 4.5.6 and later)
Defines a test on the existing packet or connection mark. The rule will match only if the test returns true.
If you don't want to define a test but need to specify anything in the following columns, place a "-" in this field.
Inverts the test (not equal)
Value of the packet or connection mark.
A mask to be applied to the mark before testing.
Designates a connection mark. If omitted, the packet mark's value is tested.
May be used to limit the number of simultaneous connections
to/from each individual host or network to
limit
connections. Requires connlimit
match in your kernel and iptables. While the limit is only checked
on rules specifying CONNLIMIT, the number of current connections is
calculated over all current connections from the SOURCE or
DESTINATION host. By default, limiting is done by SOURCE host or
net, but if the specification begins with d:, then limiting will be donw by destination
host or net.
By default, the limit is applied to each host but can be made
to apply to networks of hosts by specifying a
mask
. The mask
specifies the width of a VLSM mask to be applied to the source
address; the number of current connections is then taken over all
hosts in the subnet
source-address
/mask
.
When !
is specified, the rule matches when the
number of connection exceeds the
limit
.
May be used to limit the rule to a particular time period each day, to particular days of the week or month, or to a range defined by dates and times. Requires time match support in your kernel and ip6tables.
timeelement

[:ss
]Defines the starting time of day.
hh

]Defines the ending time of day.
Times are expressed in Greenwich Mean Time.
Deprecated by the Netfilter team in favor of kerneltz. Times are expressed in Local Civil Time (default).
Added in Shorewall 4.5.2. Times are expressed in Local Kernel Time (requires iptables 1.4.12 or later).

consists of a
comma-separated list of headers from the following list.
Authentication Headers extension header.
Encrypted Security Payload extension header.
Hop-by-hop options extension header.
IPv6 Route extension header.
IPv6 fragmentation extension header.
No next header
Any protocol header.
If any: is specified, the rule will match if any of the listed headers are present. If exactly: is specified, the will match packets that exactly include all specified headers. If neither is given, any: is assumed.
If ! is entered, the rule will match those packets which would not be matched when ! is omitted.
switch-name
[={0|1}]Added in Shorewall6 4.4.24 and allows enabling and disabling the rule without requiring shorewall6 restart.
Enables the rule if the value stored in
/proc/net/nf_condition/
is 1. Disables the rule if that file contains 0 (the default). If
'!' is supplied, the test is inverted such that the rule is enabled
if the file contains 0.switch-name
Within the switch-name
, '@0' and
'@{0}' are replaced by the name of the chain to which the rule is a
added. The switch-name
(after '@...'
expansion) must begin with a letter and be composed of letters,
decimal digits, underscores or hyphens. Switch names must be 30
characters or less in length.
Switches are normally off. To turn a switch on:
echo 1 >
/proc/net/nf_condition/switch-name |
To turn it off again:
echo 0 >
/proc/net/nf_condition/switch-name |
Switch settings are retained over shorewall6 restart.
Beginning with Shorewall 4.5.10, when the
switch-name
is followed by
=0
or =1
, then the switch is
initialized to off or on respectively by the
start command. Other commands do not affect the
switch setting.
Added in Shorewall 4.5.7.
In the NEW section, causes the named conntrack
helper
to be associated with this
connection; the contents of this column are ignored unless ACTION is
ACCEPT*, DNAT* or REDIRECT*.
In the RELATED section, will only match if the related
connection has the named helper
associated with it.
The helper
may be one of:
amanda |
ftp |
irc |
netbios-ns |
pptp |
Q.931 |
RAS |
sane |
sip |
snmp |
tftp |
If the HELPERS option is specified in shorewall6.conf(5), then any module specified in this column must be listed in the HELPERS setting.
Accept SMTP requests from the DMZ to the internet
#ACTION SOURCE DEST PROTO DEST SOURCE ORIGINAL # PORT PORT(S) DEST ACCEPT dmz net tcp smtp
You want to accept SSH connections to your firewall only from internet IP addresses 2002:ce7c::92b4:1::2 and 2002:ce7c::92b4:1::22
#ACTION SOURCE DEST PROTO DEST SOURCE ORIGINAL # PORT PORT(S) DEST ACCEPT net:<2002:ce7c::92b4:1::2,2002:ce7c::92b4:1::22> \ $FW tcp 22
You wish to limit SSH connections from remote systems to 1/min with a burst of three (to allow for limited retry):
#ACTION SOURCE DEST PROTO DEST SOURCE ORIGINAL RATE # PORT(S) PORT(S) DEST LIMIT SSH(ACCEPT) net all - - - - s:1/min:3
Forward port 80 to dmz host $BACKUP if switch 'primary_down' is set.
#ACTION SOURCE DEST PROTO DEST SOURCE ORIGINAL RATE USER/ MARK CONNLIMIT TIME HEADERS SWITCH # PORT(S) PORT(S) DEST LIMIT GROUP DNAT net dmz:$BACKUP tcp 80 - - - - - - - - primary_down
Drop all email from IP addresses in the country whose ISO-3661 country code is ZZ.
#ACTION SOURCE DEST PROTO DEST # PORT(S) DROP net:^ZZ fw tcp 25
You want to generate your own rule involving ip6tables targets and matches not supported by Shorewall.
#ACTION SOURCE DEST PROTO DEST # PORT(S) INLINE $FW net ; -p 6 -m mickey-mouse --name test -m set --match-set set1 src -m mickey-mouse --name test2 -j SECCTX --name test3
The above will generate the following ip6tables-restore input:
-A fw2net -p 6 -m mickey-mouse --name test -m set --match-set set1 src -m mickey-mouse --name test2 -j SECCTX --name test3
Note that SECCTX must be defined as a builtin action in shorewall6-actions(5):
#ACTION OPTIONS SECCTX builtin
