All that remains now is to define the firewall rules and then we can reboot and the firewall should be up and running. I realize that everyone will want something slightly different when it comes to their rulebase. What I have tried to do is write a rulebase that suits most dialup users. You can obviously modify it to your needs by using the following rules as the foundation for your own rulebase. First, let's start with the basics of closed firewalling. What you want to do is deny everything by default and then only open up for the things you really need. Rules should be in the order of allow first and then deny. The premise is that you add the rules for your allows, and then everything else is denied. :)</para> <para>Now, let's make the dir <filename class="directory">/etc/firewall</filename>. Change into the directory and edit the file <filename>fwrules</filename> as we specified in <filename>rc.conf</filename>. Please note that you can change this filename to anything you wish. This guide just gives an example of a filename. </para> <para>Now, let's look at a sample firewall file, that is commented nicely.</para> - <programlisting># Firewall rules -# Written by Marc Silver (marcs@draenor.org) -# http://draenor.org/ipfw -# Freely distributable - - -# Define the firewall command (as in /etc/rc.firewall) for easy + <programlisting># Define the firewall command (as in /etc/rc.firewall) for easy # reference.

From the discussions I have had with people the consensus seems to be that while <command>ipfw</command> is certainly more powerful and more configurable than the <command>ppp</command> filters, what it makes up for in functionality it loses in being easy to customize. One of the reasons I use it is because I prefer firewalling to be done at a kernel level rather than by a userland program.</para> </answer> </qandaentry> <qandaentry> <question> <para>I get messages like <errorname>limit 100 reached on entry 2800</errorname> and after that I never see more denies in my logs. Is my firewall still working?</para> </question> <answer> <para>This merely means that the maximum logging count for the rule has been reached. The rule itself is still working, but it will no longer log until such time as you reset the logging counters. You can reset the logging counters with the <command>ipfw resetlog</command> command. Alternatively, you may increase the log limit in your kernel configuration with the <option>IPFIREWALL_VERBOSE_LIMIT</option> option as described above. You may also change this limit (without recompiling your kernel and having to reboot) by using the net.inet.ip.fw.verbose_limit &man.sysctl.8; value.</para> </answer> </qandaentry> <qandaentry> <question> <para>If I am using private addresses internally, such as in the 192.168.0.0 range, could I add a command like <literal>$fwcmd add deny all from any to 192.168.0.0:255.255.0.0 via tun0</literal> to the firewall rules to prevent outside attempts to connect to internal machines?</para> </question> <answer> <para>The simple answer is no. The reason for this is that <command>natd</command> is doing address translation for <emphasis>anything</emphasis> being diverted through the <devicename>tun0</devicename> device. As far as it is concerned incoming packets will speak only to the dynamically assigned IP address and <emphasis>not</emphasis> to the internal network. Note though that you can add a rule like <literal>$fwcmd add deny all from 192.168.0.4:255.255.0.0 to any via tun0</literal> which would limit a host on your internal network from going out via the firewall.</para> </answer> </qandaentry> <qandaentry> <question> <para>There must be something wrong. I followed your instructions to the letter and now I am locked out.</para> </question> <answer> <para>This tutorial assumes that you are running <emphasis>userland-ppp</emphasis>, therefore the supplied ruleset operates on the <devicename>tun0</devicename> interface, which corresponds to the first connection made with &man.ppp.8; (a.k.a. <emphasis>user-ppp</emphasis>). Additional connections would use <devicename>tun1</devicename>, <devicename>tun2</devicename> and so on.</para> <para>You should also note that &man.pppd.8; uses the <devicename>ppp0</devicename> interface instead, so if you start the connection with &man.pppd.8; you must substitute <devicename>tun0</devicename> for <devicename>ppp0</devicename>. A quick way to edit the firewall rules to reflect this change is shown below. The original ruleset is backed up as <filename>fwrules_tun0</filename>.</para> <screen> &prompt.user; <userinput>cd /etc/firewall</userinput> /etc/firewall&prompt.user; <userinput>su</userinput> <prompt>Password:</prompt> /etc/firewall&prompt.root; <userinput>mv fwrules fwrules_tun0</userinput> /etc/firewall&prompt.root; <userinput>cat fwrules_tun0 | sed s/tun0/ppp0/g > fwrules</userinput> </screen> <para>To know whether you are currently using &man.ppp.8; or &man.pppd.8; you can examine the output of &man.ifconfig.8; once the connection is up.
