and tested over the past two months in the ipfw3-head branch. This also happens to be the same code available in the Linux and Windows ports of ipfw and dummynet. The major enhancement is a completely restructured version of dummynet, with support for different packet scheduling algorithms (loadable at runtime), faster queue/pipe lookup, and a much cleaner internal architecture and kernel/userland ABI which simplifies future extensions. In addition to the existing schedulers (FIFO and WF2Q+), we include a Deficit Round Robin (DRR or RR for brevity) scheduler, and a new, very fast version of WF2Q+ called QFQ. Some test code is also present (in sys/netinet/ipfw/test) that lets you build and test schedulers in userland. Also, we have added a compatibility layer that understands requests from the RELENG_7 and RELENG_8 versions of the /sbin/ipfw binaries, and replies correctly (at least, it does its best; sometimes you just cannot tell who sent the request and how to answer). The compatibility layer should make it possible to MFC this code in a relatively short time. Some minor glitches (e.g. handling of ipfw set enable/disable, and a workaround for a bug in RELENG_7's /sbin/ipfw) will be fixed with separate commits. CREDITS: This work has been partly supported by the ONELAB2 project, and mostly developed by Riccardo Panicucci and myself. The code for the qfq scheduler is mostly from Fabio Checconi, and Marta Carbone and Francesco Magno have helped with testing, debugging and some bug fixes.

.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
The
|
|
.Nm
|
|
utility is the user interface for controlling the
|
|
.Xr ipfw 4
|
|
firewall, the
|
|
.Xr dummynet 4
|
|
traffic shaper/packet scheduler, and the
|
|
in-kernel NAT services.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
A firewall configuration, or
|
|
.Em ruleset ,
|
|
is made of a list of
|
|
.Em rules
|
|
numbered from 1 to 65535.
|
|
Packets are passed to the firewall
|
|
from a number of different places in the protocol stack
|
|
(depending on the source and destination of the packet,
|
|
it is possible for the firewall to be
|
|
invoked multiple times on the same packet).
|
|
The packet passed to the firewall is compared
|
|
against each of the rules in the
|
|
.Em ruleset ,
|
|
in rule-number order
|
|
(multiple rules with the same number are permitted, in which case
|
|
they are processed in order of insertion).
|
|
When a match is found, the action corresponding to the
|
|
matching rule is performed.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Depending on the action and certain system settings, packets
|
|
can be reinjected into the firewall at some rule after the
|
|
matching one for further processing.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
A ruleset always includes a
|
|
.Em default
|
|
rule (numbered 65535) which cannot be modified or deleted,
|
|
and matches all packets.
|
|
The action associated with the
|
|
.Em default
|
|
rule can be either
|
|
.Cm deny
|
|
or
|
|
.Cm allow
|
|
depending on how the kernel is configured.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
If the ruleset includes one or more rules with the
|
|
.Cm keep-state
|
|
or
|
|
.Cm limit
|
|
option,
|
|
the firewall will have a
|
|
.Em stateful
|
|
behaviour, i.e., upon a match it will create
|
|
.Em dynamic rules ,
|
|
i.e. rules that match packets with the same 5-tuple
|
|
(protocol, source and destination addresses and ports)
|
|
as the packet which caused their creation.
|
|
Dynamic rules, which have a limited lifetime, are checked
|
|
at the first occurrence of a
|
|
.Cm check-state ,
|
|
.Cm keep-state
|
|
or
|
|
.Cm limit
|
|
rule, and are typically used to open the firewall on-demand to
|
|
legitimate traffic only.
|
|
See the
|
|
.Sx STATEFUL FIREWALL
|
|
and
|
|
.Sx EXAMPLES
|
|
Sections below for more information on the stateful behaviour of
|
|
.Nm .
|
|
.Pp
|
|
All rules (including dynamic ones) have a few associated counters:
|
|
a packet count, a byte count, a log count and a timestamp
|
|
indicating the time of the last match.
|
|
Counters can be displayed or reset with
|
|
.Nm
|
|
commands.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Each rule belongs to one of 32 different
|
|
.Em sets
|
|
, and there are
|
|
.Nm
|
|
commands to atomically manipulate sets, such as enable,
|
|
disable, swap sets, move all rules in a set to another
|
|
one, delete all rules in a set.
|
|
These can be useful to
|
|
install temporary configurations, or to test them.
|
|
See Section
|
|
.Sx SETS OF RULES
|
|
for more information on
|
|
.Em sets .
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Rules can be added with the
|
|
.Cm add
|
|
command; deleted individually or in groups with the
|
|
.Cm delete
|
|
command, and globally (except those in set 31) with the
|
|
.Cm flush
|
|
command; displayed, optionally with the content of the
|
|
counters, using the
|
|
.Cm show
|
|
and
|
|
.Cm list
|
|
commands.
|
|
Finally, counters can be reset with the
|
|
.Cm zero
|
|
and
|
|
.Cm resetlog
|
|
commands.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Ss COMMAND OPTIONS
|
|
The following general options are available when invoking
|
|
.Nm :
|
|
.Bl -tag -width indent
|
|
.It Fl a
|
|
Show counter values when listing rules.
|
|
The
|
|
.Cm show
|
|
command implies this option.
|
|
.It Fl b
|
|
Only show the action and the comment, not the body of a rule.
|
|
Implies
|
|
.Fl c .
|
|
.It Fl c
|
|
When entering or showing rules, print them in compact form,
|
|
i.e., omitting the "ip from any to any" string
|
|
when this does not carry any additional information.
|
|
.It Fl d
|
|
When listing, show dynamic rules in addition to static ones.
|
|
.It Fl e
|
|
When listing and
|
|
.Fl d
|
|
is specified, also show expired dynamic rules.
|
|
.It Fl f
|
|
Do not ask for confirmation for commands that can cause problems
|
|
if misused,
|
|
.No i.e. Cm flush .
|
|
If there is no tty associated with the process, this is implied.
|
|
.It Fl i
|
|
When listing a table (see the
|
|
.Sx LOOKUP TABLES
|
|
section below for more information on lookup tables), format values
|
|
as IP addresses. By default, values are shown as integers.
|
|
.It Fl n
|
|
Only check syntax of the command strings, without actually passing
|
|
them to the kernel.
|
|
.It Fl N
|
|
Try to resolve addresses and service names in output.
|
|
.It Fl q
|
|
Be quiet when executing the
|
|
.Cm add ,
|
|
.Cm nat ,
|
|
.Cm zero ,
|
|
.Cm resetlog
|
|
or
|
|
.Cm flush
|
|
commands;
|
|
(implies
|
|
.Fl f ) .
|
|
This is useful when updating rulesets by executing multiple
|
|
.Nm
|
|
commands in a script
|
|
(e.g.,
|
|
.Ql sh\ /etc/rc.firewall ) ,
|
|
or by processing a file with many
|
|
.Nm
|
|
rules across a remote login session.
|
|
It also stops a table add or delete
|
|
from failing if the entry already exists or is not present.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The reason why this option may be important is that
|
|
for some of these actions,
|
|
.Nm
|
|
may print a message; if the action results in blocking the
|
|
traffic to the remote client,
|
|
the remote login session will be closed
|
|
and the rest of the ruleset will not be processed.
|
|
Access to the console would then be required to recover.
|
|
.It Fl S
|
|
When listing rules, show the
|
|
.Em set
|
|
each rule belongs to.
|
|
If this flag is not specified, disabled rules will not be
|
|
listed.
|
|
.It Fl s Op Ar field
|
|
When listing pipes, sort according to one of the four
|
|
counters (total or current packets or bytes).
|
|
.It Fl t
|
|
When listing, show last match timestamp converted with ctime().
|
|
.It Fl T
|
|
When listing, show last match timestamp as seconds from the epoch.
|
|
This form can be more convenient for postprocessing by scripts.
|
|
.El
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Ss LIST OF RULES AND PREPROCESSING
|
|
To ease configuration, rules can be put into a file which is
|
|
processed using
|
|
.Nm
|
|
as shown in the last synopsis line.
|
|
An absolute
|
|
.Ar pathname
|
|
must be used.
|
|
The file will be read line by line and applied as arguments to the
|
|
.Nm
|
|
utility.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Optionally, a preprocessor can be specified using
|
|
.Fl p Ar preproc
|
|
where
|
|
.Ar pathname
|
|
is to be piped through.
|
|
Useful preprocessors include
|
|
.Xr cpp 1
|
|
and
|
|
.Xr m4 1 .
|
|
If
|
|
.Ar preproc
|
|
does not start with a slash
|
|
.Pq Ql /
|
|
as its first character, the usual
|
|
.Ev PATH
|
|
name search is performed.
|
|
Care should be taken with this in environments where not all
|
|
file systems are mounted (yet) by the time
|
|
.Nm
|
|
is being run (e.g.\& when they are mounted over NFS).
|
|
Once
|
|
.Fl p
|
|
has been specified, any additional arguments are passed on to the preprocessor
|
|
for interpretation.
|
|
This allows for flexible configuration files (like conditionalizing
|
|
them on the local hostname) and the use of macros to centralize
|
|
frequently required arguments like IP addresses.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Ss TRAFFIC SHAPER CONFIGURATION
|
|
The
|
|
.Nm
|
|
.Cm pipe , queue
|
|
and
|
|
.Cm sched
|
|
commands are used to configure the traffic shaper and packet scheduler.
|
|
See the
|
|
.Sx TRAFFIC SHAPER (DUMMYNET) CONFIGURATION
|
|
Section below for details.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
If the world and the kernel get out of sync the
|
|
.Nm
|
|
ABI may break, preventing you from being able to add any rules.
|
|
This can
|
|
adversely effect the booting process.
|
|
You can use
|
|
.Nm
|
|
.Cm disable
|
|
.Cm firewall
|
|
to temporarily disable the firewall to regain access to the network,
|
|
allowing you to fix the problem.
|
|
.Sh PACKET FLOW
|
|
A packet is checked against the active ruleset in multiple places
|
|
in the protocol stack, under control of several sysctl variables.
|
|
These places and variables are shown below, and it is important to
|
|
have this picture in mind in order to design a correct ruleset.
|
|
.Bd -literal -offset indent
|
|
^ to upper layers V
|
|
| |
|
|
+----------->-----------+
|
|
^ V
|
|
[ip(6)_input] [ip(6)_output] net.inet(6).ip(6).fw.enable=1
|
|
| |
|
|
^ V
|
|
[ether_demux] [ether_output_frame] net.link.ether.ipfw=1
|
|
| |
|
|
+-->--[bdg_forward]-->--+ net.link.bridge.ipfw=1
|
|
^ V
|
|
| to devices |
|
|
.Ed
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The number of
|
|
times the same packet goes through the firewall can
|
|
vary between 0 and 4 depending on packet source and
|
|
destination, and system configuration.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Note that as packets flow through the stack, headers can be
|
|
stripped or added to it, and so they may or may not be available
|
|
for inspection.
|
|
E.g., incoming packets will include the MAC header when
|
|
.Nm
|
|
is invoked from
|
|
.Cm ether_demux() ,
|
|
but the same packets will have the MAC header stripped off when
|
|
.Nm
|
|
is invoked from
|
|
.Cm ip_input()
|
|
or
|
|
.Cm ip6_input() .
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Also note that each packet is always checked against the complete ruleset,
|
|
irrespective of the place where the check occurs, or the source of the packet.
|
|
If a rule contains some match patterns or actions which are not valid
|
|
for the place of invocation (e.g.\& trying to match a MAC header within
|
|
.Cm ip_input
|
|
or
|
|
.Cm ip6_input ),
|
|
the match pattern will not match, but a
|
|
.Cm not
|
|
operator in front of such patterns
|
|
.Em will
|
|
cause the pattern to
|
|
.Em always
|
|
match on those packets.
|
|
It is thus the responsibility of
|
|
the programmer, if necessary, to write a suitable ruleset to
|
|
differentiate among the possible places.
|
|
.Cm skipto
|
|
rules can be useful here, as an example:
|
|
.Bd -literal -offset indent
|
|
# packets from ether_demux or bdg_forward
|
|
ipfw add 10 skipto 1000 all from any to any layer2 in
|
|
# packets from ip_input
|
|
ipfw add 10 skipto 2000 all from any to any not layer2 in
|
|
# packets from ip_output
|
|
ipfw add 10 skipto 3000 all from any to any not layer2 out
|
|
# packets from ether_output_frame
|
|
ipfw add 10 skipto 4000 all from any to any layer2 out
|
|
.Ed
|
|
.Pp
|
|
(yes, at the moment there is no way to differentiate between
|
|
ether_demux and bdg_forward).
|
|
.Sh SYNTAX
|
|
In general, each keyword or argument must be provided as
|
|
a separate command line argument, with no leading or trailing
|
|
spaces.
|
|
Keywords are case-sensitive, whereas arguments may
|
|
or may not be case-sensitive depending on their nature
|
|
(e.g.\& uid's are, hostnames are not).
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Some arguments (e.g. port or address lists) are comma-separated
|
|
lists of values.
|
|
In this case, spaces after commas ',' are allowed to make
|
|
the line more readable.
|
|
You can also put the entire
|
|
command (including flags) into a single argument.
|
|
E.g., the following forms are equivalent:
|
|
.Bd -literal -offset indent
|
|
ipfw -q add deny src-ip 10.0.0.0/24,127.0.0.1/8
|
|
ipfw -q add deny src-ip 10.0.0.0/24, 127.0.0.1/8
|
|
ipfw "-q add deny src-ip 10.0.0.0/24, 127.0.0.1/8"
|

|
|
in future forwarding decisions.
|
|
.El
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Note that some of the above information, e.g.\& source MAC or IP addresses and
|
|
TCP/UDP ports, can be easily spoofed, so filtering on those fields
|
|
alone might not guarantee the desired results.
|
|
.Bl -tag -width indent
|
|
.It Ar rule_number
|
|
Each rule is associated with a
|
|
.Ar rule_number
|
|
in the range 1..65535, with the latter reserved for the
|
|
.Em default
|
|
rule.
|
|
Rules are checked sequentially by rule number.
|
|
Multiple rules can have the same number, in which case they are
|
|
checked (and listed) according to the order in which they have
|
|
been added.
|
|
If a rule is entered without specifying a number, the kernel will
|
|
assign one in such a way that the rule becomes the last one
|
|
before the
|
|
.Em default
|
|
rule.
|
|
Automatic rule numbers are assigned by incrementing the last
|
|
non-default rule number by the value of the sysctl variable
|
|
.Ar net.inet.ip.fw.autoinc_step
|
|
which defaults to 100.
|
|
If this is not possible (e.g.\& because we would go beyond the
|
|
maximum allowed rule number), the number of the last
|
|
non-default value is used instead.
|
|
.It Cm set Ar set_number
|
|
Each rule is associated with a
|
|
.Ar set_number
|
|
in the range 0..31.
|
|
Sets can be individually disabled and enabled, so this parameter
|
|
is of fundamental importance for atomic ruleset manipulation.
|
|
It can be also used to simplify deletion of groups of rules.
|
|
If a rule is entered without specifying a set number,
|
|
set 0 will be used.
|
|
.br
|
|
Set 31 is special in that it cannot be disabled,
|
|
and rules in set 31 are not deleted by the
|
|
.Nm ipfw flush
|
|
command (but you can delete them with the
|
|
.Nm ipfw delete set 31
|
|
command).
|
|
Set 31 is also used for the
|
|
.Em default
|
|
rule.
|
|
.It Cm prob Ar match_probability
|
|
A match is only declared with the specified probability
|
|
(floating point number between 0 and 1).
|
|
This can be useful for a number of applications such as
|
|
random packet drop or
|
|
(in conjunction with
|
|
.Nm dummynet )
|
|
to simulate the effect of multiple paths leading to out-of-order
|
|
packet delivery.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Note: this condition is checked before any other condition, including
|
|
ones such as keep-state or check-state which might have side effects.
|
|
.It Cm log Op Cm logamount Ar number
|
|
When a packet matches a rule with the
|
|
.Cm log
|
|
keyword, a message will be
|
|
logged to
|
|
.Xr syslogd 8
|
|
with a
|
|
.Dv LOG_SECURITY
|
|
facility.
|
|
The logging only occurs if the sysctl variable
|
|
.Va net.inet.ip.fw.verbose
|
|
is set to 1
|
|
(which is the default when the kernel is compiled with
|
|
.Dv IPFIREWALL_VERBOSE )
|
|
and the number of packets logged so far for that
|
|
particular rule does not exceed the
|
|
.Cm logamount
|
|
parameter.
|
|
If no
|
|
.Cm logamount
|
|
is specified, the limit is taken from the sysctl variable
|
|
.Va net.inet.ip.fw.verbose_limit .
|
|
In both cases, a value of 0 removes the logging limit.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Once the limit is reached, logging can be re-enabled by
|
|
clearing the logging counter or the packet counter for that entry, see the
|
|
.Cm resetlog
|
|
command.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Note: logging is done after all other packet matching conditions
|
|
have been successfully verified, and before performing the final
|
|
action (accept, deny, etc.) on the packet.
|
|
.It Cm tag Ar number
|
|
When a packet matches a rule with the
|
|
.Cm tag
|
|
keyword, the numeric tag for the given
|
|
.Ar number
|
|
in the range 1..65534 will be attached to the packet.
|
|
The tag acts as an internal marker (it is not sent out over
|
|
the wire) that can be used to identify these packets later on.
|
|
This can be used, for example, to provide trust between interfaces
|
|
and to start doing policy-based filtering.
|
|
A packet can have multiple tags at the same time.
|
|
Tags are "sticky", meaning once a tag is applied to a packet by a
|
|
matching rule it exists until explicit removal.
|
|
Tags are kept with the packet everywhere within the kernel, but are
|
|
lost when packet leaves the kernel, for example, on transmitting
|
|
packet out to the network or sending packet to a
|
|
.Xr divert 4
|
|
socket.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
To check for previously applied tags, use the
|
|
.Cm tagged
|
|
rule option.
|
|
To delete previously applied tag, use the
|
|
.Cm untag
|
|
keyword.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Note: since tags are kept with the packet everywhere in kernelspace,
|
|
they can be set and unset anywhere in the kernel network subsystem
|
|
(using the
|
|
.Xr mbuf_tags 9
|
|
facility), not only by means of the
|
|
.Xr ipfw 4
|
|
.Cm tag
|
|
and
|
|
.Cm untag
|
|
keywords.
|
|
For example, there can be a specialized
|
|
.Xr netgraph 4
|
|
node doing traffic analyzing and tagging for later inspecting
|
|
in firewall.
|
|
.It Cm untag Ar number
|
|
When a packet matches a rule with the
|
|
.Cm untag
|
|
keyword, the tag with the number
|
|
.Ar number
|
|
is searched among the tags attached to this packet and,
|
|
if found, removed from it.
|
|
Other tags bound to packet, if present, are left untouched.
|
|
.It Cm altq Ar queue
|
|
When a packet matches a rule with the
|
|
.Cm altq
|
|
keyword, the ALTQ identifier for the given
|
|
.Ar queue
|
|
(see
|
|
.Xr altq 4 )
|
|
will be attached.
|
|
Note that this ALTQ tag is only meaningful for packets going "out" of IPFW,
|
|
and not being rejected or going to divert sockets.
|
|
Note that if there is insufficient memory at the time the packet is
|
|
processed, it will not be tagged, so it is wise to make your ALTQ
|
|
"default" queue policy account for this.
|
|
If multiple
|
|
.Cm altq
|
|
rules match a single packet, only the first one adds the ALTQ classification
|
|
tag.
|
|
In doing so, traffic may be shaped by using
|
|
.Cm count Cm altq Ar queue
|
|
rules for classification early in the ruleset, then later applying
|
|
the filtering decision.
|
|
For example,
|
|
.Cm check-state
|
|
and
|
|
.Cm keep-state
|
|
rules may come later and provide the actual filtering decisions in
|
|
addition to the fallback ALTQ tag.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
You must run
|
|
.Xr pfctl 8
|
|
to set up the queues before IPFW will be able to look them up by name,
|
|
and if the ALTQ disciplines are rearranged, the rules in containing the
|
|
queue identifiers in the kernel will likely have gone stale and need
|
|
to be reloaded.
|
|
Stale queue identifiers will probably result in misclassification.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
All system ALTQ processing can be turned on or off via
|
|
.Nm
|
|
.Cm enable Ar altq
|
|
and
|
|
.Nm
|
|
.Cm disable Ar altq .
|
|
The usage of
|
|
.Va net.inet.ip.fw.one_pass
|
|
is irrelevant to ALTQ traffic shaping, as the actual rule action is followed
|
|
always after adding an ALTQ tag.
|
|
.El
|
|
.Ss RULE ACTIONS
|
|
A rule can be associated with one of the following actions, which
|
|
will be executed when the packet matches the body of the rule.
|
|
.Bl -tag -width indent
|
|
.It Cm allow | accept | pass | permit
|
|
Allow packets that match rule.
|
|
The search terminates.
|
|
.It Cm check-state
|
|
Checks the packet against the dynamic ruleset.
|
|
If a match is found, execute the action associated with
|
|
the rule which generated this dynamic rule, otherwise
|
|
move to the next rule.
|
|
.br
|
|
.Cm Check-state
|
|
rules do not have a body.
|
|
If no
|
|
.Cm check-state
|
|
rule is found, the dynamic ruleset is checked at the first
|
|
.Cm keep-state
|
|
or
|
|
.Cm limit
|
|
rule.
|
|
.It Cm count
|
|
Update counters for all packets that match rule.
|
|
The search continues with the next rule.
|
|
.It Cm deny | drop
|
|
Discard packets that match this rule.
|
|
The search terminates.
|
|
.It Cm divert Ar port
|
|
Divert packets that match this rule to the
|
|
.Xr divert 4
|
|
socket bound to port
|
|
.Ar port .
|
|
The search terminates.
|
|
.It Cm fwd | forward Ar ipaddr | tablearg Ns Op , Ns Ar port
|
|
Change the next-hop on matching packets to
|
|
.Ar ipaddr ,
|
|
which can be an IP address or a host name.
|
|
The next hop can also be supplied by the last table
|
|
looked up for the packet by using the
|
|
.Cm tablearg
|
|
keyword instead of an explicit address.
|
|
The search terminates if this rule matches.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
If
|
|
.Ar ipaddr
|
|
is a local address, then matching packets will be forwarded to
|
|
.Ar port
|
|
(or the port number in the packet if one is not specified in the rule)
|
|
on the local machine.
|
|
.br
|
|
If
|
|
.Ar ipaddr
|
|
is not a local address, then the port number
|
|
(if specified) is ignored, and the packet will be
|
|
forwarded to the remote address, using the route as found in
|
|
the local routing table for that IP.
|
|
.br
|
|
A
|
|
.Ar fwd
|
|
rule will not match layer-2 packets (those received
|
|
on ether_input, ether_output, or bridged).
|
|
.br
|
|
The
|
|
.Cm fwd
|
|
action does not change the contents of the packet at all.
|
|
In particular, the destination address remains unmodified, so
|
|
packets forwarded to another system will usually be rejected by that system
|
|
unless there is a matching rule on that system to capture them.
|
|
For packets forwarded locally,
|
|
the local address of the socket will be
|
|
set to the original destination address of the packet.
|
|
This makes the
|
|
.Xr netstat 1
|
|
entry look rather weird but is intended for
|
|
use with transparent proxy servers.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
To enable
|
|
.Cm fwd
|
|
a custom kernel needs to be compiled with the option
|
|
.Cd "options IPFIREWALL_FORWARD" .
|
|
.It Cm nat Ar nat_nr
|
|
Pass packet to a
|
|
nat instance
|
|
(for network address translation, address redirect, etc.):
|
|
see the
|
|
.Sx NETWORK ADDRESS TRANSLATION (NAT)
|
|
Section for further information.
|
|
.It Cm pipe Ar pipe_nr
|
|
Pass packet to a
|
|
.Nm dummynet
|
|
.Dq pipe
|
|
(for bandwidth limitation, delay, etc.).
|
|
See the
|
|
.Sx TRAFFIC SHAPER (DUMMYNET) CONFIGURATION
|
|
Section for further information.
|
|
The search terminates; however, on exit from the pipe and if
|
|
the
|
|
.Xr sysctl 8
|
|
variable
|
|
.Va net.inet.ip.fw.one_pass
|
|
is not set, the packet is passed again to the firewall code
|
|
starting from the next rule.
|
|
.It Cm queue Ar queue_nr
|
|
Pass packet to a
|
|
.Nm dummynet
|
|
.Dq queue
|
|
(for bandwidth limitation using WF2Q+).
|
|
.It Cm reject
|
|
(Deprecated).
|
|
Synonym for
|
|
.Cm unreach host .
|
|
.It Cm reset
|
|
Discard packets that match this rule, and if the
|
|
packet is a TCP packet, try to send a TCP reset (RST) notice.
|
|
The search terminates.
|
|
.It Cm reset6
|
|
Discard packets that match this rule, and if the
|
|
packet is a TCP packet, try to send a TCP reset (RST) notice.
|
|
The search terminates.
|
|
.It Cm skipto Ar number | tablearg
|
|
Skip all subsequent rules numbered less than
|
|
.Ar number .
|
|
The search continues with the first rule numbered
|
|
.Ar number
|
|
or higher.
|
|
It is possible to use the
|
|
.Cm tablearg
|
|
keyword with a skipto for a
|
|
.Em computed
|
|
skipto, but care should be used, as no destination caching
|
|
is possible in this case so the rules are always walked to find it,
|
|
starting from the
|
|
.Cm skipto .
|
|
.It Cm tee Ar port
|
|
Send a copy of packets matching this rule to the
|
|
.Xr divert 4
|
|
socket bound to port
|
|
.Ar port .
|
|
The search continues with the next rule.
|
|
.It Cm unreach Ar code
|
|
Discard packets that match this rule, and try to send an ICMP
|
|
unreachable notice with code
|
|
.Ar code ,
|
|
where
|
|
.Ar code
|
|
is a number from 0 to 255, or one of these aliases:
|
|
.Cm net , host , protocol , port ,
|
|
.Cm needfrag , srcfail , net-unknown , host-unknown ,
|
|
.Cm isolated , net-prohib , host-prohib , tosnet ,
|
|
.Cm toshost , filter-prohib , host-precedence
|
|
or
|
|
.Cm precedence-cutoff .
|
|
The search terminates.
|
|
.It Cm unreach6 Ar code
|
|
Discard packets that match this rule, and try to send an ICMPv6
|
|
unreachable notice with code
|
|
.Ar code ,
|
|
where
|
|
.Ar code
|
|
is a number from 0, 1, 3 or 4, or one of these aliases:
|
|
.Cm no-route, admin-prohib, address
|
|
or
|
|
.Cm port .
|
|
The search terminates.
|
|
.It Cm netgraph Ar cookie
|
|
Divert packet into netgraph with given
|
|
.Ar cookie .
|
|
The search terminates.
|
|
If packet is later returned from netgraph it is either
|
|
accepted or continues with the next rule, depending on
|
|
.Va net.inet.ip.fw.one_pass
|
|
sysctl variable.
|
|
.It Cm ngtee Ar cookie
|
|
A copy of packet is diverted into netgraph, original
|
|
packet is either accepted or continues with the next rule, depending on
|
|
.Va net.inet.ip.fw.one_pass
|
|
sysctl variable.
|
|
See
|
|
.Xr ng_ipfw 4
|
|
for more information on
|
|
.Cm netgraph
|
|
and
|
|
.Cm ngtee
|
|
actions.
|
|
.It Cm setfib Ar fibnum
|
|
The packet is tagged so as to use the FIB (routing table)
|
|
.Ar fibnum
|
|
in any subsequent forwarding decisions.
|
|
Initially this is limited to the values 0 through 15, see
|
|
.Xr setfib 1 .
|
|
Processing continues at the next rule.
|
|
.It Cm reass
|
|
Queue and reassemble ip fragments.
|
|
If the packet is not fragmented, counters are updated and processing continues with the next rule.
|
|
If the packet is the last logical fragment, the packet is reassembled and, if
|
|
.Va net.inet.ip.fw.one_pass
|
|
is set to 0, processing continues with the next rule, else packet is allowed to pass and search terminates.
|
|
If the packet is a fragment in the middle, it is consumed and processing stops immediately.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Fragments handling can be tuned via
|
|
.Va net.inet.ip.maxfragpackets
|
|
and
|
|
.Va net.inet.ip.maxfragsperpacket
|
|
which limit, respectively, the maximum number of processable fragments (default: 800) and
|
|
the maximum number of fragments per packet (default: 16).
|
|
.Pp
|
|
NOTA BENE: since fragments do not contain port numbers, they should be avoided with the
|
|
.Nm reass
|
|
rule.
|
|
Alternatively, direction-based (like
|
|
.Nm in
|
|
/
|
|
.Nm out
|
|
) and source-based (like
|
|
.Nm via
|
|
) match patterns can be used to select fragments.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Usually a simple rule like:
|
|
.Bd -literal -offset indent
|
|
# reassemble incoming fragments
|
|
ipfw add reass all from any to any in
|
|
.Ed
|
|
.Pp
|
|
is all you need at the beginning of your ruleset.
|
|
.El
|
|
.Ss RULE BODY
|
|
The body of a rule contains zero or more patterns (such as
|
|
specific source and destination addresses or ports,
|
|
protocol options, incoming or outgoing interfaces, etc.)
|
|
that the packet must match in order to be recognised.
|
|
In general, the patterns are connected by (implicit)
|
|
.Cm and
|
|
operators -- i.e., all must match in order for the
|
|
rule to match.
|
|
Individual patterns can be prefixed by the
|
|
.Cm not
|
|
operator to reverse the result of the match, as in
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Dl "ipfw add 100 allow ip from not 1.2.3.4 to any"
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Additionally, sets of alternative match patterns
|
|
.Pq Em or-blocks
|
|
can be constructed by putting the patterns in
|
|
lists enclosed between parentheses ( ) or braces { }, and
|
|
using the
|
|
.Cm or
|
|
operator as follows:
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Dl "ipfw add 100 allow ip from { x or not y or z } to any"
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Only one level of parentheses is allowed.
|
|
Beware that most shells have special meanings for parentheses
|
|
or braces, so it is advisable to put a backslash \\ in front of them
|
|
to prevent such interpretations.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The body of a rule must in general include a source and destination
|
|
address specifier.
|
|
The keyword
|
|
.Ar any
|
|
can be used in various places to specify that the content of
|
|
a required field is irrelevant.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The rule body has the following format:
|
|
.Bd -ragged -offset indent
|
|
.Op Ar proto Cm from Ar src Cm to Ar dst
|
|
.Op Ar options
|
|
.Ed
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The first part (proto from src to dst) is for backward
|
|
compatibility with earlier versions of
|
|
.Fx .
|
|
In modern
|
|
.Fx
|
|
any match pattern (including MAC headers, IP protocols,
|
|
addresses and ports) can be specified in the
|
|
.Ar options
|
|
section.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Rule fields have the following meaning:
|
|
.Bl -tag -width indent
|
|
.It Ar proto : protocol | Cm { Ar protocol Cm or ... }
|
|
.It Ar protocol : Oo Cm not Oc Ar protocol-name | protocol-number
|
|
An IP protocol specified by number or name
|
|
(for a complete list see
|
|
.Pa /etc/protocols ) ,
|
|
or one of the following keywords:
|
|
.Bl -tag -width indent
|
|
.It Cm ip4 | ipv4
|
|
Matches IPv4 packets.
|
|
.It Cm ip6 | ipv6
|
|
Matches IPv6 packets.
|
|
.It Cm ip | all
|
|
Matches any packet.
|

.El
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Cm ipv6
|
|
in
|
|
.Cm proto
|
|
option will be treated as inner protocol.
|
|
And, the
|
|
.Cm ipv4
|
|
is not available in
|
|
.Cm proto
|
|
option.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Cm { Ar protocol Cm or ... }
|
|
format (an

|
.Em or-block )
|
|
is provided for convenience only but its use is deprecated.
|
|
.It Ar src No and Ar dst : Bro Cm addr | Cm { Ar addr Cm or ... } Brc Op Oo Cm not Oc Ar ports
|
|
An address (or a list, see below)
|
|
optionally followed by
|
|
.Ar ports
|
|
specifiers.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The second format
|

with multiple addresses) is provided for convenience only and
|

matches any IPv6 address configured on an interface in the system.
|
|
The address list is evaluated at the time the packet is
|
|
analysed.
|
|
.It Cm table Ns Pq Ar number Ns Op , Ns Ar value
|
|
Matches any IPv4 address for which an entry exists in the lookup table
|
|
.Ar number .
|
|
If an optional 32-bit unsigned
|
|
.Ar value
|
|
is also specified, an entry will match only if it has this value.
|
|
See the
|
|
.Sx LOOKUP TABLES
|
|
section below for more information on lookup tables.
|
|
.El
|
|
.It Ar addr-list : ip-addr Ns Op Ns , Ns Ar addr-list
|
|
.It Ar ip-addr :
|
|
A host or subnet address specified in one of the following ways:
|
|
.Bl -tag -width indent
|
|
.It Ar numeric-ip | hostname
|
|
Matches a single IPv4 address, specified as dotted-quad or a hostname.
|
|
Hostnames are resolved at the time the rule is added to the firewall list.
|
|
.It Ar addr Ns / Ns Ar masklen
|
|
Matches all addresses with base
|
|
.Ar addr
|
|
(specified as an IP address, a network number, or a hostname)
|
|
and mask width of
|
|
.Cm masklen
|
|
bits.
|
|
As an example, 1.2.3.4/25 or 1.2.3.0/25 will match
|
|
all IP numbers from 1.2.3.0 to 1.2.3.127 .
|
|
.It Ar addr Ns : Ns Ar mask
|
|
Matches all addresses with base
|
|
.Ar addr
|
|
(specified as an IP address, a network number, or a hostname)
|
|
and the mask of
|
|
.Ar mask ,
|
|
specified as a dotted quad.
|
|
As an example, 1.2.3.4:255.0.255.0 or 1.0.3.0:255.0.255.0 will match
|
|
1.*.3.*.
|
|
This form is advised only for non-contiguous
|
|
masks.
|
|
It is better to resort to the
|
|
.Ar addr Ns / Ns Ar masklen
|
|
format for contiguous masks, which is more compact and less
|
|
error-prone.

Matches all addresses with base address
|
|
.Ar addr
|
|
(specified as an IP address, a network number, or a hostname)
|
|
and whose last byte is in the list between braces { } .
|
|
Note that there must be no spaces between braces and
|
|
numbers (spaces after commas are allowed).
|
|
Elements of the list can be specified as single entries
|
|
or ranges.
|
|
The
|
|
.Ar masklen
|
|
field is used to limit the size of the set of addresses,
|
|
and can have any value between 24 and 32.
|
|
If not specified,
|
|
it will be assumed as 24.
|
|
.br
|
|
This format is particularly useful to handle sparse address sets
|
|
within a single rule.
|
|
Because the matching occurs using a
|
|
bitmask, it takes constant time and dramatically reduces
|
|
the complexity of rulesets.
|
|
.br
|
|
As an example, an address specified as 1.2.3.4/24{128,35-55,89}
|
|
or 1.2.3.0/24{128,35-55,89}
|
|
will match the following IP addresses:
|
|
.br
|
|
1.2.3.128, 1.2.3.35 to 1.2.3.55, 1.2.3.89 .
|
|
.It Ar addr6-list : ip6-addr Ns Op Ns , Ns Ar addr6-list
|
|
.It Ar ip6-addr :
|
|
A host or subnet specified one of the following ways:
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Bl -tag -width indent
|
|
.It Ar numeric-ip | hostname
|
|
Matches a single IPv6 address as allowed by
|
|
.Xr inet_pton 3
|
|
or a hostname.
|
|
Hostnames are resolved at the time the rule is added to the firewall
|
|
list.
|
|
.It Ar addr Ns / Ns Ar masklen
|
|
Matches all IPv6 addresses with base
|
|
.Ar addr
|
|
(specified as allowed by
|
|
.Xr inet_pton
|
|
or a hostname)
|
|
and mask width of
|
|
.Cm masklen
|
|
bits.
|
|
.El
|
|
.Pp
|
|
No support for sets of IPv6 addresses is provided because IPv6 addresses
|
|
are typically random past the initial prefix.
|
|
.It Ar ports : Bro Ar port | port Ns \&- Ns Ar port Ns Brc Ns Op , Ns Ar ports
|
|
For protocols which support port numbers (such as TCP and UDP), optional
|
|
.Cm ports
|
|
may be specified as one or more ports or port ranges, separated
|
|
by commas but no spaces, and an optional
|
|
.Cm not
|
|
operator.
|
|
The
|
|
.Ql \&-
|
|
notation specifies a range of ports (including boundaries).
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Service names (from
|
|
.Pa /etc/services )
|
|
may be used instead of numeric port values.
|
|
The length of the port list is limited to 30 ports or ranges,
|
|
though one can specify larger ranges by using an
|
|
.Em or-block
|
|
in the
|
|
.Cm options
|
|
section of the rule.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
A backslash
|
|
.Pq Ql \e
|
|
can be used to escape the dash
|
|
.Pq Ql -
|
|
character in a service name (from a shell, the backslash must be
|
|
typed twice to avoid the shell itself interpreting it as an escape
|
|
character).
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Dl "ipfw add count tcp from any ftp\e\e-data-ftp to any"
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Fragmented packets which have a non-zero offset (i.e., not the first
|
|
fragment) will never match a rule which has one or more port
|
|
specifications.
|
|
See the
|
|
.Cm frag
|
|
option for details on matching fragmented packets.
|
|
.El

.Ss RULE OPTIONS (MATCH PATTERNS)
|
|
Additional match patterns can be used within
|
|
rules.
|
|
Zero or more of these so-called
|
|
.Em options
|
|
can be present in a rule, optionally prefixed by the
|
|
.Cm not
|
|
operand, and possibly grouped into
|
|
.Em or-blocks .
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The following match patterns can be used (listed in alphabetical order):
|
|
.Bl -tag -width indent
|
|
.It Cm // this is a comment.
|
|
Inserts the specified text as a comment in the rule.
|
|
Everything following // is considered as a comment and stored in the rule.
|
|
You can have comment-only rules, which are listed as having a
|
|
.Cm count
|
|
action followed by the comment.

|
|
Matches packets that are fragments and not the first
|
|
fragment of an IP datagram.
|
|
Note that these packets will not have
|
|
the next protocol header (e.g.\& TCP, UDP) so options that look into
|
|
these headers cannot match.
|
|
.It Cm gid Ar group
|
|
Matches all TCP or UDP packets sent by or received for a
|
|
.Ar group .

The list may be specified as any combination of
|
|
individual types (numeric) separated by commas.
|
|
.Em Ranges are not allowed .
|
|
.It Cm in | out
|
|
Matches incoming or outgoing packets, respectively.
|
|
.Cm in
|
|
and
|
|
.Cm out
|
|
are mutually exclusive (in fact,
|
|
.Cm out
|
|
is implemented as
|
|
.Cm not in Ns No ).
|
|
.It Cm ipid Ar id-list
|
|
Matches IPv4 packets whose
|
|
.Cm ip_id
|
|
field has value included in
|
|
.Ar id-list ,
|
|
which is either a single value or a list of values or ranges
|

.It Cm iplen Ar len-list
|
|
Matches IP packets whose total length, including header and data, is

(strict source route),
|
|
.Cm lsrr
|
|
(loose source route),
|
|
.Cm rr
|
|
(record packet route) and
|
|
.Cm ts
|
|
(timestamp).
|
|
The absence of a particular option may be denoted
|
|
with a
|
|
.Ql \&! .
|
|
.It Cm ipprecedence Ar precedence
|
|
Matches IPv4 packets whose precedence field is equal to
|
|
.Ar precedence .
|
|
.It Cm ipsec
|
|
Matches packets that have IPSEC history associated with them
|
|
(i.e., the packet comes encapsulated in IPSEC, the kernel
|
|
has IPSEC support and IPSEC_FILTERTUNNEL option, and can correctly
|
|
decapsulate it).
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Note that specifying
|
|
.Cm ipsec
|
|
is different from specifying
|
|
.Cm proto Ar ipsec
|
|
as the latter will only look at the specific IP protocol field,
|
|
irrespective of IPSEC kernel support and the validity of the IPSEC data.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Further note that this flag is silently ignored in kernels without
|
|
IPSEC support.
|
|
It does not affect rule processing when given and the
|
|
rules are handled as if with no
|
|
.Cm ipsec
|
|
flag.
|
|
.It Cm iptos Ar spec
|
|
Matches IPv4 packets whose
|
|
.Cm tos

|
|
The absence of a particular type may be denoted
|
|
with a
|
|
.Ql \&! .
|
|
.It Cm ipttl Ar ttl-list
|
|
Matches IPv4 packets whose time to live is included in
|
|
.Ar ttl-list ,
|
|
which is either a single value or a list of values or ranges
|
|
specified in the same way as
|
|
.Ar ports .
|
|
.It Cm ipversion Ar ver
|
|
Matches IP packets whose IP version field is
|
|
.Ar ver .
|
|
.It Cm keep-state
|
|
Upon a match, the firewall will create a dynamic rule, whose
|
|
default behaviour is to match bidirectional traffic between
|
|
source and destination IP/port using the same protocol.
|
|
The rule has a limited lifetime (controlled by a set of
|
|
.Xr sysctl 8
|
|
variables), and the lifetime is refreshed every time a matching
|
|
packet is found.
|
|
.It Cm layer2
|
|
Matches only layer2 packets, i.e., those passed to
|
|
.Nm
|
|
from ether_demux() and ether_output_frame().
|
|
.It Cm limit Bro Cm src-addr | src-port | dst-addr | dst-port Brc Ar N
|
|
The firewall will only allow
|
|
.Ar N
|
|
connections with the same
|
|
set of parameters as specified in the rule.
|
|
One or more
|
|
of source and destination addresses and ports can be
|
|
specified.
|
|
Currently,
|
|
only IPv4 flows are supported.
|
|
.It Cm lookup Bro Cm dst-ip | dst-port | src-ip | src-port | uid | jail Brc Ar N
|
|
Search an entry in lookup table
|
|
.Ar N
|
|
that matches the field specified as argument.
|
|
If not found, the match fails.
|
|
Otherwise, the match succeeds and
|
|
.Cm tablearg
|
|
is set to the value extracted from the table.
|
|
.Br
|
|
This option can be useful to quickly dispatch traffic based on
|
|
certain packet fields.
|
|
See the
|
|
.Sx LOOKUP TABLES
|
|
section below for more information on lookup tables.
|
|
.It Cm { MAC | mac } Ar dst-mac src-mac
|
|
Match packets with a given
|
|
.Ar dst-mac
|
|
and
|
|
.Ar src-mac
|
|
addresses, specified as the
|
|
.Cm any
|
|
keyword (matching any MAC address), or six groups of hex digits
|
|
separated by colons,
|
|
and optionally followed by a mask indicating the significant bits.
|
|
The mask may be specified using either of the following methods:
|
|
.Bl -enum -width indent
|
|
.It
|
|
A slash
|
|
.Pq /
|
|
followed by the number of significant bits.
|
|
For example, an address with 33 significant bits could be specified as:
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Dl "MAC 10:20:30:40:50:60/33 any"
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.It
|
|
An ampersand
|
|
.Pq &
|
|
followed by a bitmask specified as six groups of hex digits separated
|
|
by colons.
|
|
For example, an address in which the last 16 bits are significant could
|
|
be specified as:
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Dl "MAC 10:20:30:40:50:60&00:00:00:00:ff:ff any"
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Note that the ampersand character has a special meaning in many shells
|
|
and should generally be escaped.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.El
|
|
Note that the order of MAC addresses (destination first,
|
|
source second) is
|
|
the same as on the wire, but the opposite of the one used for
|
|
IP addresses.
|
|
.It Cm mac-type Ar mac-type
|
|
Matches packets whose Ethernet Type field
|
|
corresponds to one of those specified as argument.
|
|
.Ar mac-type
|
|
is specified in the same way as
|
|
.Cm port numbers
|
|
(i.e., one or more comma-separated single values or ranges).
|
|
You can use symbolic names for known values such as
|
|
.Em vlan , ipv4, ipv6 .
|
|
Values can be entered as decimal or hexadecimal (if prefixed by 0x),
|
|
and they are always printed as hexadecimal (unless the
|
|
.Cm -N
|
|
option is used, in which case symbolic resolution will be attempted).
|
|
.It Cm proto Ar protocol
|
|
Matches packets with the corresponding IP protocol.
|
|
.It Cm recv | xmit | via Brq Ar ifX | Ar if Ns Cm * | Ar ipno | Ar any
|
|
Matches packets received, transmitted or going through,
|
|
respectively, the interface specified by exact name
|
|
.Ns No ( Ar ifX Ns No ),
|
|
by device name
|
|
.Ns No ( Ar if Ns Ar * Ns No ),
|
|
by IP address, or through some interface.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Cm via
|
|
keyword causes the interface to always be checked.
|
|
If
|
|
.Cm recv
|
|
or
|
|
.Cm xmit
|
|
is used instead of
|
|
.Cm via ,
|
|
then only the receive or transmit interface (respectively)
|
|
is checked.
|
|
By specifying both, it is possible to match packets based on
|
|
both receive and transmit interface, e.g.:
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Dl "ipfw add deny ip from any to any out recv ed0 xmit ed1"
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Cm recv
|
|
interface can be tested on either incoming or outgoing packets,
|
|
while the
|
|
.Cm xmit
|
|
interface can only be tested on outgoing packets.
|
|
So
|
|
.Cm out
|
|
is required (and
|
|
.Cm in
|
|
is invalid) whenever
|
|
.Cm xmit
|
|
is used.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
A packet may not have a receive or transmit interface: packets
|
|
originating from the local host have no receive interface,
|
|
while packets destined for the local host have no transmit
|
|
interface.
|
|
.It Cm setup
|
|
Matches TCP packets that have the SYN bit set but no ACK bit.
|
|
This is the short form of
|
|
.Dq Li tcpflags\ syn,!ack .
|
|
.It Cm src-ip Ar ip-address
|
|
Matches IPv4 packets whose source IP is one of the address(es)
|
|
specified as an argument.
|
|
.It Cm src-ip6 Ar ip6-address
|
|
Matches IPv6 packets whose source IP is one of the address(es)
|
|
specified as an argument.
|
|
.It Cm src-port Ar ports
|
|
Matches IP packets whose source port is one of the port(s)
|
|
specified as argument.
|
|
.It Cm tagged Ar tag-list
|
|
Matches packets whose tags are included in
|
|
.Ar tag-list ,
|
|
which is either a single value or a list of values or ranges
|
|
specified in the same way as
|
|
.Ar ports .
|
|
Tags can be applied to the packet using
|
|
.Cm tag
|
|
rule action parameter (see it's description for details on tags).
|
|
.It Cm tcpack Ar ack
|
|
TCP packets only.
|
|
Match if the TCP header acknowledgment number field is set to
|
|
.Ar ack .
|
|
.It Cm tcpdatalen Ar tcpdatalen-list
|
|
Matches TCP packets whose length of TCP data is
|
|
.Ar tcpdatalen-list ,
|
|
which is either a single value or a list of values or ranges
|
|
specified in the same way as
|
|
.Ar ports .
|
|
.It Cm tcpflags Ar spec
|
|
TCP packets only.
|
|
Match if the TCP header contains the comma separated list of
|
|
flags specified in
|
|
.Ar spec .
|
|
The supported TCP flags are:
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Cm fin ,
|
|
.Cm syn ,
|
|
.Cm rst ,
|
|
.Cm psh ,
|
|
.Cm ack
|
|
and
|
|
.Cm urg .
|
|
The absence of a particular flag may be denoted
|
|
with a
|
|
.Ql \&! .
|
|
A rule which contains a
|
|
.Cm tcpflags
|
|
specification can never match a fragmented packet which has
|
|
a non-zero offset.
|
|
See the
|
|
.Cm frag
|
|
option for details on matching fragmented packets.
|
|
.It Cm tcpseq Ar seq
|
|
TCP packets only.
|
|
Match if the TCP header sequence number field is set to
|
|
.Ar seq .
|
|
.It Cm tcpwin Ar win

TCP packets only.
|
|
Match if the TCP header window field is set to
|
|
.Ar win .
|

.It Cm tcpoptions Ar spec
|
|
TCP packets only.
|
|
Match if the TCP header contains the comma separated list of

.Ar spec .
|
|
The supported TCP options are:
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Cm mss
|
|
(maximum segment size),
|
|
.Cm window
|
|
(tcp window advertisement),
|
|
.Cm sack
|
|
(selective ack),
|
|
.Cm ts
|
|
(rfc1323 timestamp) and
|
|
.Cm cc
|
|
(rfc1644 t/tcp connection count).
|
|
The absence of a particular option may be denoted
|
|
with a
|
|
.Ql \&! .
|
|
.It Cm uid Ar user
|
|
Match all TCP or UDP packets sent by or received for a
|
|
.Ar user .
|
|
A
|
|
.Ar user
|
|
may be matched by name or identification number.
|
|
.It Cm verrevpath
|
|
For incoming packets,
|
|
a routing table lookup is done on the packet's source address.
|
|
If the interface on which the packet entered the system matches the
|
|
outgoing interface for the route,
|
|
the packet matches.
|
|
If the interfaces do not match up,
|
|
the packet does not match.
|
|
All outgoing packets or packets with no incoming interface match.
|
|
.Pp

See also the option
|
|
.Cm antispoof .
|
|
.It Cm versrcreach
|
|
For incoming packets,
|
|
a routing table lookup is done on the packet's source address.
|
|
If a route to the source address exists, but not the default route
|
|
or a blackhole/reject route, the packet matches.
|
|
Otherwise, the packet does not match.
|
|
All outgoing packets match.
|
|
.Pp
|
|

|
|

.Pp
|
|
This option can be used to make anti-spoofing rules to reject all
|

packets whose source address is unreachable.
|
|
.It Cm antispoof
|
|
For incoming packets, the packet's source address is checked if it
|
|
belongs to a directly connected network.
|
|
If the network is directly connected, then the interface the packet
|
|
came on in is compared to the interface the network is connected to.
|
|
When incoming interface and directly connected interface are not the
|
|
same, the packet does not match.
|
|
Otherwise, the packet does match.
|
|
All outgoing packets match.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
This option can be used to make anti-spoofing rules to reject all
|
|
packets that pretend to be from a directly connected network but do
|
|
not come in through that interface.
|
|
This option is similar to but more restricted than
|
|
.Cm verrevpath
|
|
because it engages only on packets with source addresses of directly
|
|
connected networks instead of all source addresses.

.Sh LOOKUP TABLES
|
|
Lookup tables are useful to handle large sparse sets of
|
|
addresses or other search keys (e.g. ports, jail IDs).
|
|
In the rest of this section we will use the term ``address''
|
|
to mean any unsigned value of up to 32-bit.
|
|
There may be up to 128 different lookup tables, numbered 0 to 127.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Each entry is represented by an
|
|
.Ar addr Ns Op / Ns Ar masklen
|
|
and will match all addresses with base
|
|
.Ar addr
|
|
(specified as an IP address, a hostname or an unsigned integer)
|
|
and mask width of
|
|
.Ar masklen
|
|
bits.
|
|
If
|
|
.Ar masklen
|
|
is not specified, it defaults to 32.
|
|
When looking up an IP address in a table, the most specific
|
|
entry will match.
|
|
Associated with each entry is a 32-bit unsigned
|
|
.Ar value ,
|
|
which can optionally be checked by a rule matching code.
|
|
When adding an entry, if
|
|
.Ar value
|
|
is not specified, it defaults to 0.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
An entry can be added to a table
|
|
.Pq Cm add ,
|
|
or removed from a table
|
|
.Pq Cm delete .
|
|
A table can be examined
|
|
.Pq Cm list
|
|
or flushed
|
|
.Pq Cm flush .
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Internally, each table is stored in a Radix tree, the same way as
|
|
the routing table (see
|
|
.Xr route 4 ) .
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Lookup tables currently support only ports, jail IDs and IPv4 addresses.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Cm tablearg
|
|
feature provides the ability to use a value, looked up in the table, as
|
|
the argument for a rule action, action parameter or rule option.
|
|
This can significantly reduce number of rules in some configurations.
|
|
If two tables are used in a rule, the result of the second (destination)
|
|
is used.
|
|
The
|
|
.Cm tablearg
|
|
argument can be used with the following actions:
|
|
.Cm nat, pipe , queue, divert, tee, netgraph, ngtee, fwd, skipto
|
|
action parameters:
|
|
.Cm tag, untag,
|
|
rule options:
|
|
.Cm limit, tagged.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
When used with
|
|
.Cm fwd
|
|
it is possible to supply table entries with values
|
|
that are in the form of IP addresses or hostnames.
|
|
See the
|
|
.Sx EXAMPLES
|
|
Section for example usage of tables and the tablearg keyword.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
When used with the
|
|
.Cm skipto
|
|
action, the user should be aware that the code will walk the ruleset
|
|
up to a rule equal to, or past, the given number, and should therefore try keep the
|
|
ruleset compact between the skipto and the target rules.
|
|
.Sh SETS OF RULES
|
|
Each rule belongs to one of 32 different
|
|
.Em sets
|
|
, numbered 0 to 31.
|
|
Set 31 is reserved for the default rule.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
By default, rules are put in set 0, unless you use the
|
|
.Cm set N
|
|
attribute when entering a new rule.
|
|
Sets can be individually and atomically enabled or disabled,
|
|
so this mechanism permits an easy way to store multiple configurations
|
|
of the firewall and quickly (and atomically) switch between them.
|
|
The command to enable/disable sets is
|
|
.Bd -ragged -offset indent
|
|
.Nm
|
|
.Cm set Oo Cm disable Ar number ... Oc Op Cm enable Ar number ...
|
|
.Ed
|
|
.Pp
|
|
where multiple
|
|
.Cm enable
|
|
or
|
|
.Cm disable
|
|
sections can be specified.
|
|
Command execution is atomic on all the sets specified in the command.
|
|
By default, all sets are enabled.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
When you disable a set, its rules behave as if they do not exist
|
|
in the firewall configuration, with only one exception:
|
|
.Bd -ragged -offset indent
|
|
dynamic rules created from a rule before it had been disabled
|
|
will still be active until they expire.
|
|
In order to delete
|
|
dynamic rules you have to explicitly delete the parent rule
|
|
which generated them.
|
|
.Ed
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The set number of rules can be changed with the command
|
|
.Bd -ragged -offset indent
|
|
.Nm
|
|
.Cm set move
|
|
.Brq Cm rule Ar rule-number | old-set
|
|
.Cm to Ar new-set
|
|
.Ed
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Also, you can atomically swap two rulesets with the command
|
|
.Bd -ragged -offset indent
|
|
.Nm
|
|
.Cm set swap Ar first-set second-set

|
|
.Sh STATEFUL FIREWALL
|
|
Stateful operation is a way for the firewall to dynamically
|
|
create rules for specific flows when packets that
|
|
match a given pattern are detected.
|
|
Support for stateful
|
|
operation comes through the
|
|
.Cm check-state , keep-state
|
|
and
|
|
.Cm limit
|
|
options of
|
|
.Nm rules .
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Dynamic rules are created when a packet matches a
|
|
.Cm keep-state
|
|
or
|
|
.Cm limit
|
|
rule, causing the creation of a
|
|
.Em dynamic
|
|
rule which will match all and only packets with
|
|
a given
|
|
.Em protocol
|
|
between a
|
|
.Em src-ip/src-port dst-ip/dst-port
|
|
pair of addresses
|
|
.Em ( src
|
|
and
|
|
.Em dst
|
|
are used here only to denote the initial match addresses, but they
|
|
are completely equivalent afterwards).
|
|
Dynamic rules will be checked at the first
|
|
.Cm check-state, keep-state
|
|
or
|
|
.Cm limit
|
|
occurrence, and the action performed upon a match will be the same
|
|
as in the parent rule.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Note that no additional attributes other than protocol and IP addresses
|
|
and ports are checked on dynamic rules.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The typical use of dynamic rules is to keep a closed firewall configuration,
|
|
but let the first TCP SYN packet from the inside network install a
|
|
dynamic rule for the flow so that packets belonging to that session
|
|
will be allowed through the firewall:
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Dl "ipfw add check-state"
|
|
.Dl "ipfw add allow tcp from my-subnet to any setup keep-state"
|
|
.Dl "ipfw add deny tcp from any to any"
|
|
.Pp
|
|
A similar approach can be used for UDP, where an UDP packet coming
|
|
from the inside will install a dynamic rule to let the response through
|
|
the firewall:
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Dl "ipfw add check-state"
|
|
.Dl "ipfw add allow udp from my-subnet to any keep-state"
|
|
.Dl "ipfw add deny udp from any to any"
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Dynamic rules expire after some time, which depends on the status
|
|
of the flow and the setting of some
|
|
.Cm sysctl
|
|
variables.
|
|
See Section
|
|
.Sx SYSCTL VARIABLES
|
|
for more details.
|
|
For TCP sessions, dynamic rules can be instructed to periodically
|
|
send keepalive packets to refresh the state of the rule when it is
|
|
about to expire.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
See Section
|
|
.Sx EXAMPLES
|
|
for more examples on how to use dynamic rules.
|
|
.Sh TRAFFIC SHAPER (DUMMYNET) CONFIGURATION
|
|
.Nm
|
|
is also the user interface for the
|
|
.Nm dummynet
|
|
traffic shaper, packet scheduler and network emulator, a subsystem that
|
|
can artificially queue, delay or drop packets
|
|
emulator the behaviour of certain network links
|
|
or queueing systems.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Nm dummynet
|
|
operates by first using the firewall to select packets
|
|
using any match pattern that can be used in
|
|
.Nm
|
|
rules.
|
|
Matching packets are then passed to either of two
|
|
different objects, which implement the traffic regulation:
|
|
.Bl -hang -offset XXXX
|
|
.It Em pipe
|
|
A pipe emulates a link with given bandwidth, propagation delay,
|
|
queue size and packet loss rate.
|
|
Packets are queued in front of the pipe as they come out from the classifier,
|
|
and then transferred to the pipe according to the pipe's parameters.
|
|
.It Em queue
|
|
A queue
|
|
is an abstraction used to implement packet scheduling
|
|
using one of several packet scheduling algorithms.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The queue associates a
|
|
.Em weight
|
|
and a reference scheduler to each flow (a flow is a set of packets
|
|
with the same addresses and ports after masking).
|
|
A scheduler in turn is connected to a pipe, and arbitrates
|
|
the pipe's bandwidth among backlogged flows according to
|
|
weights and to the features of the scheduling algorithm in use.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Note that weights are not priorities; a flow with a lower weight
|
|
is still guaranteed to get its fraction of the bandwidth even if a
|
|
flow with a higher weight is permanently backlogged.
|
|
.El
|
|
.Pp
|
|
In practice,
|
|
.Em pipes
|
|
can be used to set hard limits to the bandwidth that a flow can use, whereas
|
|
.Em queues
|
|
can be used to determine how different flows share the available bandwidth.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
There are two modes of
|
|
.Nm dummynet
|
|
operation:
|
|
.Dq normal
|
|
and
|
|
.Dq fast .
|
|
The
|
|
.Dq normal
|
|
mode tries to emulate a real link: the
|
|
.Nm dummynet
|
|
scheduler ensures that the packet will not leave the pipe faster than it
|
|
would on the real link with a given bandwidth.
|
|
The
|
|
.Dq fast
|
|
mode allows certain packets to bypass the
|
|
.Nm dummynet
|
|
scheduler (if packet flow does not exceed pipe's bandwidth).
|
|
This is the reason why the
|
|
.Dq fast
|
|
mode requires less CPU cycles per packet (on average) and packet latency
|
|
can be significantly lower in comparison to a real link with the same
|
|
bandwidth.
|
|
The default mode is
|
|
.Dq normal .
|
|
The
|
|
.Dq fast
|
|
mode can be enabled by setting the
|
|
.Va net.inet.ip.dummynet.io_fast
|
|
.Xr sysctl 8
|
|
variable to a non-zero value.
|
|
.Pp

.Ss PIPE, QUEUE AND SCHEDULER CONFIGURATION
|
|
The
|
|
.Em pipe ,
|
|
.Em queue
|

|
|
configuration commands are the following:

|
The following parameters can be configured for a pipe:
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Bl -tag -width indent -compact
|
|
.It Cm bw Ar bandwidth | device
|
|
Bandwidth, measured in

|
|
.Op Cm K | M
|
|
.Brq Cm bit/s | Byte/s .
|
|
.Sm on
|
|
.Pp
|
|
A value of 0 (default) means unlimited bandwidth.
|
|
The unit must immediately follow the number, as in
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Dl "ipfw pipe 1 config bw 300Kbit/s"
|
|
.Pp
|
|
If a device name is specified instead of a numeric value, as in
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Dl "ipfw pipe 1 config bw tun0"
|
|
.Pp
|
|
then the transmit clock is supplied by the specified device.
|
|
At the moment only the
|
|
.Xr tun 4
|
|
device supports this
|
|
functionality, for use in conjunction with
|
|
.Xr ppp 8 .
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.It Cm delay Ar ms-delay
|
|
Propagation delay, measured in milliseconds.
|
|
The value is rounded to the next multiple of the clock tick
|
|
(typically 10ms, but it is a good practice to run kernels
|
|
with
|
|
.Dq "options HZ=1000"
|
|
to reduce
|
|
the granularity to 1ms or less).
|
|
The default value is 0, meaning no delay.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.It Cm burst Ar size
|
|
If the data to be sent exceeds the pipe's bandwidth limit
|
|
(and the pipe was previously idle), up to
|
|
.Ar size
|
|
bytes of data are allowed to bypass the
|
|
.Nm dummynet
|
|
scheduler, and will be sent as fast as the physical link allows.
|
|
Any additional data will be transmitted at the rate specified
|
|
by the
|
|
.Nm pipe
|
|
bandwidth.
|
|
The burst size depends on how long the pipe has been idle;
|
|
the effective burst size is calculated as follows:
|
|
MAX(
|
|
.Ar size
|
|
,
|
|
.Nm bw
|
|
* pipe_idle_time).
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.It Cm profile Ar filename
|
|
A file specifying the additional overhead incurred in the transmission
|
|
of a packet on the link.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Some link types introduce extra delays in the transmission
|
|
of a packet, e.g. because of MAC level framing, contention on
|
|
the use of the channel, MAC level retransmissions and so on.
|
|
From our point of view, the channel is effectively unavailable
|
|
for this extra time, which is constant or variable depending
|
|
on the link type. Additionally, packets may be dropped after this
|
|
time (e.g. on a wireless link after too many retransmissions).
|
|
We can model the additional delay with an empirical curve
|
|
that represents its distribution.

The empirical curve may have both vertical and horizontal lines.
|
|
Vertical lines represent constant delay for a range of
|
|
probabilities.
|

Horizontal lines correspond to a discontinuity in the delay
|
|
distribution: the pipe will use the largest delay for a
|
|
given probability.
|

.Va net.inet.ip.dummynet.hash_size ,
|
|
allowed range is 16 to 65536.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.It Cm mask Ar mask-specifier
|
|
Packets sent to a given pipe or queue by an
|
|
.Nm
|
|
rule can be further classified into multiple flows, each of which is then
|
|
sent to a different
|
|
.Em dynamic
|
|
pipe or queue.
|
|
A flow identifier is constructed by masking the IP addresses,
|
|
ports and protocol types as specified with the
|
|
.Cm mask
|
|
options in the configuration of the pipe or queue.
|
|
For each different flow identifier, a new pipe or queue is created
|
|
with the same parameters as the original object, and matching packets
|
|
are sent to it.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Thus, when
|
|
.Em dynamic pipes
|
|
are used, each flow will get the same bandwidth as defined by the pipe,
|
|
whereas when
|
|
.Em dynamic queues
|
|
are used, each flow will share the parent's pipe bandwidth evenly
|
|
with other flows generated by the same queue (note that other queues
|
|
with different weights might be connected to the same pipe).
|

|
|
When a packet is dropped by a

|
is normally reported to the caller routine in the kernel, in the
|
|
same way as it happens when a device queue fills up.

.Pp
|
|
.It Cm plr Ar packet-loss-rate
|
|
Packet loss rate.
|
|
Argument
|
|
.Ar packet-loss-rate
|
|
is a floating-point number between 0 and 1, with 0 meaning no
|
|
loss, 1 meaning 100% loss.
|
|
The loss rate is internally represented on 31 bits.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.It Cm queue Brq Ar slots | size Ns Cm Kbytes
|
|
Queue size, in
|
|
.Ar slots
|
|
or
|
|
.Cm KBytes .
|
|
Default value is 50 slots, which
|
|
is the typical queue size for Ethernet devices.
|
|
Note that for slow speed links you should keep the queue
|
|
size short or your traffic might be affected by a significant
|
|
queueing delay.
|
|
E.g., 50 max-sized ethernet packets (1500 bytes) mean 600Kbit
|
|
or 20s of queue on a 30Kbit/s pipe.
|
|
Even worse effects can result if you get packets from an
|
|
interface with a much larger MTU, e.g.\& the loopback interface
|
|
with its 16KB packets.
|
|
The
|
|
.Xr sysctl 8
|
|
variables
|
|
.Em net.inet.ip.dummynet.pipe_byte_limit
|
|
and
|
|
.Em net.inet.ip.dummynet.pipe_slot_limit
|
|
control the maximum lengths that can be specified.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.It Cm red | gred Ar w_q Ns / Ns Ar min_th Ns / Ns Ar max_th Ns / Ns Ar max_p
|
|
Make use of the RED (Random Early Detection) queue management algorithm.
|
|
.Ar w_q
|
|
and
|
|
.Ar max_p
|
|
are floating
|
|
point numbers between 0 and 1 (0 not included), while
|
|
.Ar min_th
|
|
and
|
|
.Ar max_th
|
|
are integer numbers specifying thresholds for queue management
|
|
(thresholds are computed in bytes if the queue has been defined
|
|
in bytes, in slots otherwise).
|
|
The
|
|
.Nm dummynet
|
|
also supports the gentle RED variant (gred).
|
|
Three
|
|
.Xr sysctl 8
|
|
variables can be used to control the RED behaviour:
|
|
.Bl -tag -width indent
|
|
.It Va net.inet.ip.dummynet.red_lookup_depth
|
|
specifies the accuracy in computing the average queue
|
|
when the link is idle (defaults to 256, must be greater than zero)
|
|
.It Va net.inet.ip.dummynet.red_avg_pkt_size
|
|
specifies the expected average packet size (defaults to 512, must be
|
|
greater than zero)
|
|
.It Va net.inet.ip.dummynet.red_max_pkt_size
|
|
specifies the expected maximum packet size, only used when queue
|
|
thresholds are in bytes (defaults to 1500, must be greater than zero).
|
|
.El
|
|
.El
|
|
.Pp
|
|
When used with IPv6 data,
|
|
.Nm dummynet
|
|
currently has several limitations.
|
|
Information necessary to route link-local packets to an
|
|
interface is not available after processing by
|
|
.Nm dummynet
|
|
so those packets are dropped in the output path.
|
|
Care should be taken to insure that link-local packets are not passed to
|
|
.Nm dummynet .
|
|
.Sh CHECKLIST
|
|
Here are some important points to consider when designing your
|
|
rules:
|
|
.Bl -bullet
|
|
.It
|
|
Remember that you filter both packets going
|
|
.Cm in
|
|
and
|
|
.Cm out .
|
|
Most connections need packets going in both directions.
|
|
.It
|
|
Remember to test very carefully.
|
|
It is a good idea to be near the console when doing this.
|
|
If you cannot be near the console,
|
|
use an auto-recovery script such as the one in
|
|
.Pa /usr/share/examples/ipfw/change_rules.sh .
|
|
.It
|
|
Do not forget the loopback interface.
|
|
.El
|
|
.Sh FINE POINTS
|
|
.Bl -bullet
|
|
.It
|
|
There are circumstances where fragmented datagrams are unconditionally
|
|
dropped.
|
|
TCP packets are dropped if they do not contain at least 20 bytes of
|
|
TCP header, UDP packets are dropped if they do not contain a full 8
|
|
byte UDP header, and ICMP packets are dropped if they do not contain
|
|
4 bytes of ICMP header, enough to specify the ICMP type, code, and
|
|
checksum.
|
|
These packets are simply logged as
|
|
.Dq pullup failed
|
|
since there may not be enough good data in the packet to produce a
|
|
meaningful log entry.
|
|
.It
|
|
Another type of packet is unconditionally dropped, a TCP packet with a
|
|
fragment offset of one.
|
|
This is a valid packet, but it only has one use, to try
|
|
to circumvent firewalls.
|
|
When logging is enabled, these packets are
|
|
reported as being dropped by rule -1.
|
|
.It
|
|
If you are logged in over a network, loading the
|
|
.Xr kld 4
|
|
version of
|
|
.Nm
|
|
is probably not as straightforward as you would think.
|
|
The following command line is recommended:
|
|
.Bd -literal -offset indent
|
|
kldload ipfw && \e
|
|
ipfw add 32000 allow ip from any to any
|
|
.Ed
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Along the same lines, doing an
|
|
.Bd -literal -offset indent
|
|
ipfw flush
|
|
.Ed
|
|
.Pp
|
|
in similar surroundings is also a bad idea.
|
|
.It
|
|
The
|
|
.Nm
|
|
filter list may not be modified if the system security level
|
|
is set to 3 or higher
|
|
(see
|
|
.Xr init 8
|
|
for information on system security levels).
|
|
.El
|
|
.Sh PACKET DIVERSION
|
|
A
|
|
.Xr divert 4
|
|
socket bound to the specified port will receive all packets
|
|
diverted to that port.
|
|
If no socket is bound to the destination port, or if the divert module is
|
|
not loaded, or if the kernel was not compiled with divert socket support,
|
|
the packets are dropped.
|
|
.Sh NETWORK ADDRESS TRANSLATION (NAT)
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Nm
|
|
support in-kernel NAT using the kernel version of
|
|
.Xr libalias 3 .
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The nat configuration command is the following:
|
|
.Bd -ragged -offset indent
|
|
.Bk -words
|
|
.Cm nat
|
|
.Ar nat_number
|
|
.Cm config
|
|
.Ar nat-configuration
|
|
.Ek
|
|
.Ed
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The following parameters can be configured:
|
|
.Bl -tag -width indent
|
|
.It Cm ip Ar ip_address
|
|
Define an ip address to use for aliasing.
|
|
.It Cm if Ar nic
|
|
Use ip address of NIC for aliasing, dynamically changing
|
|
it if NIC's ip address changes.
|
|
.It Cm log
|
|
Enable logging on this nat instance.
|
|
.It Cm deny_in
|
|
Deny any incoming connection from outside world.
|
|
.It Cm same_ports
|
|
Try to leave the alias port numbers unchanged from
|
|
the actual local port numbers.
|
|
.It Cm unreg_only
|
|
Traffic on the local network not originating from an
|
|
unregistered address spaces will be ignored.
|
|
.It Cm reset
|
|
Reset table of the packet aliasing engine on address change.
|
|
.It Cm reverse
|
|
Reverse the way libalias handles aliasing.
|
|
.It Cm proxy_only
|
|
Obey transparent proxy rules only, packet aliasing is not performed.
|
|
.El
|
|
.Pp
|
|
To let the packet continue after being (de)aliased, set the sysctl variable
|
|
.Va net.inet.ip.fw.one_pass
|
|
to 0.
|
|
For more information about aliasing modes, refer to
|
|
.Xr libalias 3 .

|
|
.Ss REDIRECT AND LSNAT SUPPORT IN IPFW
|
|
Redirect and LSNAT support follow closely the syntax used in
|
|
.Xr natd 8 .
|
|
See Section
|
|
.Sx EXAMPLES
|
|
for some examples on how to do redirect and lsnat.
|
|
.Ss SCTP NAT SUPPORT
|
|
SCTP nat can be configured in a similar manner to TCP through the
|
|
.Nm
|
|
command line tool.
|
|
The main difference is that
|
|
.Nm sctp nat
|
|
does not do port translation.
|
|
Since the local and global side ports will be the same,
|
|
there is no need to specify both.
|
|
Ports are redirected as follows:
|
|
.Bd -ragged -offset indent
|
|
.Bk -words
|
|
.Cm nat
|
|
.Ar nat_number
|
|
.Cm config if
|
|
.Ar nic
|
|
.Cm redirect_port sctp
|
|
.Ar ip_address [,addr_list] {[port | port-port] [,ports]}
|
|
.Ek
|
|
.Ed
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Most
|
|
.Nm sctp nat
|
|
configuration can be done in real-time through the
|
|
.Xr sysctl 8
|
|
interface.
|
|
All may be changed dynamically, though the hash_table size will only
|
|
change for new
|
|
.Nm nat
|
|
instances.
|
|
See
|
|
.Sx SYSCTL VARIABLES
|
|
for more info.
|
|
.Sh SYSCTL VARIABLES
|
|
A set of
|
|
.Xr sysctl 8
|
|
variables controls the behaviour of the firewall and
|
|
associated modules
|
|
.Pq Nm dummynet , bridge , sctp nat .
|
|
These are shown below together with their default value
|
|
(but always check with the
|
|
.Xr sysctl 8
|
|
command what value is actually in use) and meaning:
|
|
.Bl -tag -width indent
|
|
.It Va net.inet.ip.alias.sctp.accept_global_ootb_addip: No 0
|
|
Defines how the
|
|
.Nm nat
|
|
responds to receipt of global OOTB ASCONF-AddIP:
|
|
.Bl -tag -width indent
|
|
.It Cm 0
|
|
No response (unless a partially matching association exists -
|
|
ports and vtags match but global address does not)
|
|
.It Cm 1
|
|
.Nm nat
|
|
will accept and process all OOTB global AddIP messages.
|
|
.El
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Option 1 should never be selected as this forms a security risk.
|
|
An attacker can
|
|
establish multiple fake associations by sending AddIP messages.
|
|
.It Va net.inet.ip.alias.sctp.chunk_proc_limit: No 5
|
|
Defines the maximum number of chunks in an SCTP packet that will be parsed for a
|
|
packet that matches an existing association.
|
|
This value is enforced to be greater or equal than
|
|
.Cm net.inet.ip.alias.sctp.initialising_chunk_proc_limit .
|
|
A high value is
|
|
a DoS risk yet setting too low a value may result in important control chunks in
|
|
the packet not being located and parsed.
|
|
.It Va net.inet.ip.alias.sctp.error_on_ootb: No 1
|
|
Defines when the
|
|
.Nm nat
|
|
responds to any Out-of-the-Blue (OOTB) packets with ErrorM packets.
|
|
An OOTB packet is a packet that arrives with no existing association
|
|
registered in the
|
|
.Nm nat
|
|
and is not an INIT or ASCONF-AddIP packet:
|
|
.Bl -tag -width indent
|
|
.It Cm 0
|
|
ErrorM is never sent in response to OOTB packets.
|
|
.It Cm 1
|
|
ErrorM is only sent to OOTB packets received on the local side.
|
|
.It Cm 2
|
|
ErrorM is sent to the local side and on the global side ONLY if there is a
|
|
partial match (ports and vtags match but the source global IP does not).
|
|
This value is only useful if the
|
|
.Nm nat
|
|
is tracking global IP addresses.
|
|
.It Cm 3
|
|
ErrorM is sent in response to all OOTB packets on both the local and global side
|
|
(DoS risk).
|
|
.El
|
|
.Pp
|
|
At the moment the default is 0, since the ErrorM packet is not yet
|
|
supported by most SCTP stacks.
|
|
When it is supported, and if not tracking
|
|
global addresses, we recommend setting this value to 1 to allow
|
|
multi-homed local hosts to function with the
|
|
.Nm nat .
|
|
To track global addresses, we recommend setting this value to 2 to
|
|
allow global hosts to be informed when they need to (re)send an
|
|
ASCONF-AddIP.
|
|
Value 3 should never be chosen (except for debugging) as the
|
|
.Nm nat
|
|
will respond to all OOTB global packets (a DoS risk).
|
|
.It Va net.inet.ip.alias.sctp.hashtable_size: No 2003
|
|
Size of hash tables used for
|
|
.Nm nat
|
|
lookups (100 < prime_number > 1000001).
|
|
This value sets the
|
|
.Nm hash table
|
|
size for any future created
|
|
.Nm nat
|
|
instance and therefore must be set prior to creating a
|
|
.Nm nat
|
|
instance.
|
|
The table sizes may be changed to suit specific needs.
|
|
If there will be few
|
|
concurrent associations, and memory is scarce, you may make these smaller.
|
|
If there will be many thousands (or millions) of concurrent associations, you
|
|
should make these larger.
|
|
A prime number is best for the table size.
|
|
The sysctl
|
|
update function will adjust your input value to the next highest prime number.
|
|
.It Va net.inet.ip.alias.sctp.holddown_time: No 0
|
|
Hold association in table for this many seconds after receiving a
|
|
SHUTDOWN-COMPLETE.
|
|
This allows endpoints to correct shutdown gracefully if a
|
|
shutdown_complete is lost and retransmissions are required.
|
|
.It Va net.inet.ip.alias.sctp.init_timer: No 15
|
|
Timeout value while waiting for (INIT-ACK|AddIP-ACK).
|
|
This value cannot be 0.
|
|
.It Va net.inet.ip.alias.sctp.initialising_chunk_proc_limit: No 2
|
|
Defines the maximum number of chunks in an SCTP packet that will be parsed when
|
|
no existing association exists that matches that packet.
|
|
Ideally this packet
|
|
will only be an INIT or ASCONF-AddIP packet.
|
|
A higher value may become a DoS
|
|
risk as malformed packets can consume processing resources.
|
|
.It Va net.inet.ip.alias.sctp.param_proc_limit: No 25
|
|
Defines the maximum number of parameters within a chunk that will be parsed in a
|
|
packet.
|
|
As for other similar sysctl variables, larger values pose a DoS risk.
|
|
.It Va net.inet.ip.alias.sctp.log_level: No 0
|
|
Level of detail in the system log messages (0 \- minimal, 1 \- event,
|
|
2 \- info, 3 \- detail, 4 \- debug, 5 \- max debug). May be a good
|
|
option in high loss environments.
|
|
.It Va net.inet.ip.alias.sctp.shutdown_time: No 15
|
|
Timeout value while waiting for SHUTDOWN-COMPLETE.
|
|
This value cannot be 0.
|
|
.It Va net.inet.ip.alias.sctp.track_global_addresses: No 0
|
|
Enables/disables global IP address tracking within the
|
|
.Nm nat
|
|
and places an
|
|
upper limit on the number of addresses tracked for each association:
|
|
.Bl -tag -width indent
|
|
.It Cm 0
|
|
Global tracking is disabled
|
|
.It Cm >1
|
|
Enables tracking, the maximum number of addresses tracked for each
|
|
association is limited to this value
|
|
.El
|
|
.Pp
|
|
This variable is fully dynamic, the new value will be adopted for all newly
|
|
arriving associations, existing associations are treated as they were previously.
|
|
Global tracking will decrease the number of collisions within the
|
|
.Nm nat
|
|
at a cost
|
|
of increased processing load, memory usage, complexity, and possible
|
|
.Nm nat
|
|
state
|
|
problems in complex networks with multiple
|
|
.Nm nats .
|
|
We recommend not tracking
|
|
global IP addresses, this will still result in a fully functional
|
|
.Nm nat .
|
|
.It Va net.inet.ip.alias.sctp.up_timer: No 300
|
|
Timeout value to keep an association up with no traffic.
|
|
This value cannot be 0.
|
|
.It Va net.inet.ip.dummynet.expire : No 1
|
|
Lazily delete dynamic pipes/queue once they have no pending traffic.
|
|
You can disable this by setting the variable to 0, in which case
|
|
the pipes/queues will only be deleted when the threshold is reached.
|
|
.It Va net.inet.ip.dummynet.hash_size : No 64
|
|
Default size of the hash table used for dynamic pipes/queues.
|
|
This value is used when no
|
|
.Cm buckets
|
|
option is specified when configuring a pipe/queue.
|
|
.It Va net.inet.ip.dummynet.io_fast : No 0
|
|
If set to a non-zero value,
|
|
the
|
|
.Dq fast
|
|
mode of
|
|
.Nm dummynet
|
|
operation (see above) is enabled.
|
|
.It Va net.inet.ip.dummynet.io_pkt
|
|
Number of packets passed to
|
|
.Nm dummynet .
|
|
.It Va net.inet.ip.dummynet.io_pkt_drop
|
|
Number of packets dropped by
|
|
.Nm dummynet .
|
|
.It Va net.inet.ip.dummynet.io_pkt_fast
|
|
Number of packets bypassed by the
|
|
.Nm dummynet
|
|
scheduler.
|
|
.It Va net.inet.ip.dummynet.max_chain_len : No 16
|
|
Target value for the maximum number of pipes/queues in a hash bucket.
|
|
The product
|
|
.Cm max_chain_len*hash_size
|
|
is used to determine the threshold over which empty pipes/queues
|
|
will be expired even when
|
|
.Cm net.inet.ip.dummynet.expire=0 .
|
|
.It Va net.inet.ip.dummynet.red_lookup_depth : No 256
|
|
.It Va net.inet.ip.dummynet.red_avg_pkt_size : No 512
|
|
.It Va net.inet.ip.dummynet.red_max_pkt_size : No 1500
|
|
Parameters used in the computations of the drop probability
|
|
for the RED algorithm.
|
|
.It Va net.inet.ip.dummynet.pipe_byte_limit : No 1048576
|
|
.It Va net.inet.ip.dummynet.pipe_slot_limit : No 100
|
|
The maximum queue size that can be specified in bytes or packets.
|
|
These limits prevent accidental exhaustion of resources such as mbufs.
|
|
If you raise these limits,
|
|
you should make sure the system is configured so that sufficient resources
|
|
are available.
|
|
.It Va net.inet.ip.fw.autoinc_step : No 100
|
|
Delta between rule numbers when auto-generating them.
|
|
The value must be in the range 1..1000.
|
|
.It Va net.inet.ip.fw.curr_dyn_buckets : Va net.inet.ip.fw.dyn_buckets
|
|
The current number of buckets in the hash table for dynamic rules
|
|
(readonly).
|
|
.It Va net.inet.ip.fw.debug : No 1
|
|
Controls debugging messages produced by
|
|
.Nm .
|
|
.It Va net.inet.ip.fw.default_rule : No 65535
|
|
The default rule number (read-only).
|
|
By the design of
|
|
.Nm , the default rule is the last one, so its number
|
|
can also serve as the highest number allowed for a rule.
|
|
.It Va net.inet.ip.fw.dyn_buckets : No 256
|
|
The number of buckets in the hash table for dynamic rules.
|
|
Must be a power of 2, up to 65536.
|
|
It only takes effect when all dynamic rules have expired, so you
|
|
are advised to use a
|
|
.Cm flush
|
|
command to make sure that the hash table is resized.
|
|
.It Va net.inet.ip.fw.dyn_count : No 3
|
|
Current number of dynamic rules
|
|
(read-only).
|
|
.It Va net.inet.ip.fw.dyn_keepalive : No 1
|
|
Enables generation of keepalive packets for
|
|
.Cm keep-state
|
|
rules on TCP sessions.
|
|
A keepalive is generated to both
|
|
sides of the connection every 5 seconds for the last 20
|
|
seconds of the lifetime of the rule.
|
|
.It Va net.inet.ip.fw.dyn_max : No 8192
|
|
Maximum number of dynamic rules.
|
|
When you hit this limit, no more dynamic rules can be
|
|
installed until old ones expire.
|
|
.It Va net.inet.ip.fw.dyn_ack_lifetime : No 300
|
|
.It Va net.inet.ip.fw.dyn_syn_lifetime : No 20
|
|
.It Va net.inet.ip.fw.dyn_fin_lifetime : No 1
|
|
.It Va net.inet.ip.fw.dyn_rst_lifetime : No 1
|
|
.It Va net.inet.ip.fw.dyn_udp_lifetime : No 5
|
|
.It Va net.inet.ip.fw.dyn_short_lifetime : No 30
|
|
These variables control the lifetime, in seconds, of dynamic
|
|
rules.
|
|
Upon the initial SYN exchange the lifetime is kept short,
|
|
then increased after both SYN have been seen, then decreased
|
|
again during the final FIN exchange or when a RST is received.
|
|
Both
|
|
.Em dyn_fin_lifetime
|
|
and
|
|
.Em dyn_rst_lifetime
|
|
must be strictly lower than 5 seconds, the period of
|
|
repetition of keepalives.
|
|
The firewall enforces that.
|
|
.It Va net.inet.ip.fw.enable : No 1
|
|
Enables the firewall.
|
|
Setting this variable to 0 lets you run your machine without
|
|
firewall even if compiled in.
|
|
.It Va net.inet6.ip6.fw.enable : No 1
|
|
provides the same functionality as above for the IPv6 case.
|
|
.It Va net.inet.ip.fw.one_pass : No 1
|
|
When set, the packet exiting from the
|
|
.Nm dummynet
|
|
pipe or from
|
|
.Xr ng_ipfw 4
|
|
node is not passed though the firewall again.
|
|
Otherwise, after an action, the packet is
|
|
reinjected into the firewall at the next rule.
|
|
.It Va net.inet.ip.fw.tables_max : No 128
|
|
Maximum number of tables (read-only).
|
|
.It Va net.inet.ip.fw.verbose : No 1
|
|
Enables verbose messages.
|
|
.It Va net.inet.ip.fw.verbose_limit : No 0
|
|
Limits the number of messages produced by a verbose firewall.
|
|
.It Va net.inet6.ip6.fw.deny_unknown_exthdrs : No 1
|
|
If enabled packets with unknown IPv6 Extension Headers will be denied.
|
|
.It Va net.link.ether.ipfw : No 0
|
|
Controls whether layer-2 packets are passed to
|
|
.Nm .
|
|
Default is no.
|
|
.It Va net.link.bridge.ipfw : No 0
|
|
Controls whether bridged packets are passed to
|
|
.Nm .
|
|
Default is no.

.Sh EXAMPLES
|
|
There are far too many possible uses of
|
|
.Nm
|
|
so this Section will only give a small set of examples.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Ss BASIC PACKET FILTERING
|
|
This command adds an entry which denies all tcp packets from
|
|
.Em cracker.evil.org
|
|
to the telnet port of
|
|
.Em wolf.tambov.su
|
|
from being forwarded by the host:
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Dl "ipfw add deny tcp from cracker.evil.org to wolf.tambov.su telnet"
|
|
.Pp
|
|
This one disallows any connection from the entire cracker's
|
|
network to my host:
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Dl "ipfw add deny ip from 123.45.67.0/24 to my.host.org"
|
|
.Pp
|
|
A first and efficient way to limit access (not using dynamic rules)
|
|
is the use of the following rules:
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Dl "ipfw add allow tcp from any to any established"
|
|
.Dl "ipfw add allow tcp from net1 portlist1 to net2 portlist2 setup"
|
|
.Dl "ipfw add allow tcp from net3 portlist3 to net3 portlist3 setup"
|
|
.Dl "..."
|
|
.Dl "ipfw add deny tcp from any to any"
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The first rule will be a quick match for normal TCP packets,
|
|
but it will not match the initial SYN packet, which will be
|
|
matched by the
|
|
.Cm setup
|
|
rules only for selected source/destination pairs.
|
|
All other SYN packets will be rejected by the final
|
|
.Cm deny
|
|
rule.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
If you administer one or more subnets, you can take advantage
|
|
of the address sets and or-blocks and write extremely
|
|
compact rulesets which selectively enable services to blocks
|
|
of clients, as below:
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Dl "goodguys=\*q{ 10.1.2.0/24{20,35,66,18} or 10.2.3.0/28{6,3,11} }\*q"
|
|
.Dl "badguys=\*q10.1.2.0/24{8,38,60}\*q"
|
|
.Dl ""
|
|
.Dl "ipfw add allow ip from ${goodguys} to any"
|
|
.Dl "ipfw add deny ip from ${badguys} to any"
|
|
.Dl "... normal policies ..."
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Cm verrevpath
|
|
option could be used to do automated anti-spoofing by adding the
|
|
following to the top of a ruleset:
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Dl "ipfw add deny ip from any to any not verrevpath in"
|
|
.Pp
|
|
This rule drops all incoming packets that appear to be coming to the
|
|
system on the wrong interface.
|
|
For example, a packet with a source
|
|
address belonging to a host on a protected internal network would be
|
|
dropped if it tried to enter the system from an external interface.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Cm antispoof
|
|
option could be used to do similar but more restricted anti-spoofing
|
|
by adding the following to the top of a ruleset:
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Dl "ipfw add deny ip from any to any not antispoof in"
|
|
.Pp
|
|
This rule drops all incoming packets that appear to be coming from another
|
|
directly connected system but on the wrong interface.
|
|
For example, a packet with a source address of
|
|
.Li 192.168.0.0/24 ,
|
|
configured on
|
|
.Li fxp0 ,
|
|
but coming in on
|
|
.Li fxp1
|
|
would be dropped.
|
|
.Ss DYNAMIC RULES
|
|
In order to protect a site from flood attacks involving fake
|
|
TCP packets, it is safer to use dynamic rules:
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Dl "ipfw add check-state"
|
|
.Dl "ipfw add deny tcp from any to any established"
|
|
.Dl "ipfw add allow tcp from my-net to any setup keep-state"
|
|
.Pp
|
|
This will let the firewall install dynamic rules only for
|
|
those connection which start with a regular SYN packet coming
|
|
from the inside of our network.
|
|
Dynamic rules are checked when encountering the first
|
|
.Cm check-state
|
|
or
|
|
.Cm keep-state
|
|
rule.
|
|
A
|
|
.Cm check-state
|
|
rule should usually be placed near the beginning of the
|
|
ruleset to minimize the amount of work scanning the ruleset.
|
|
Your mileage may vary.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
To limit the number of connections a user can open
|
|
you can use the following type of rules:
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Dl "ipfw add allow tcp from my-net/24 to any setup limit src-addr 10"
|
|
.Dl "ipfw add allow tcp from any to me setup limit src-addr 4"
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The former (assuming it runs on a gateway) will allow each host
|
|
on a /24 network to open at most 10 TCP connections.
|
|
The latter can be placed on a server to make sure that a single
|
|
client does not use more than 4 simultaneous connections.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Em BEWARE :
|
|
stateful rules can be subject to denial-of-service attacks
|
|
by a SYN-flood which opens a huge number of dynamic rules.
|
|
The effects of such attacks can be partially limited by
|
|
acting on a set of
|
|
.Xr sysctl 8
|
|
variables which control the operation of the firewall.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Here is a good usage of the
|
|
.Cm list
|
|
command to see accounting records and timestamp information:
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Dl ipfw -at list
|
|
.Pp
|
|
or in short form without timestamps:
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Dl ipfw -a list
|
|
.Pp
|
|
which is equivalent to:
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Dl ipfw show
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Next rule diverts all incoming packets from 192.168.2.0/24
|
|
to divert port 5000:
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Dl ipfw divert 5000 ip from 192.168.2.0/24 to any in
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Ss TRAFFIC SHAPING
|
|
The following rules show some of the applications of
|
|
.Nm
|
|
and
|
|
.Nm dummynet
|
|
for simulations and the like.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
This rule drops random incoming packets with a probability
|
|
of 5%:
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Dl "ipfw add prob 0.05 deny ip from any to any in"
|
|
.Pp
|
|
A similar effect can be achieved making use of
|
|
.Nm dummynet
|
|
pipes:
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Dl "ipfw add pipe 10 ip from any to any"
|
|
.Dl "ipfw pipe 10 config plr 0.05"
|
|
.Pp
|
|
We can use pipes to artificially limit bandwidth, e.g.\& on a
|
|
machine acting as a router, if we want to limit traffic from
|
|
local clients on 192.168.2.0/24 we do:
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Dl "ipfw add pipe 1 ip from 192.168.2.0/24 to any out"
|
|
.Dl "ipfw pipe 1 config bw 300Kbit/s queue 50KBytes"
|
|
.Pp
|
|
note that we use the
|
|
.Cm out
|
|
modifier so that the rule is not used twice.
|
|
Remember in fact that
|
|
.Nm
|
|
rules are checked both on incoming and outgoing packets.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Should we want to simulate a bidirectional link with bandwidth
|
|
limitations, the correct way is the following:
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Dl "ipfw add pipe 1 ip from any to any out"
|
|
.Dl "ipfw add pipe 2 ip from any to any in"
|
|
.Dl "ipfw pipe 1 config bw 64Kbit/s queue 10Kbytes"
|
|
.Dl "ipfw pipe 2 config bw 64Kbit/s queue 10Kbytes"
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The above can be very useful, e.g.\& if you want to see how
|
|
your fancy Web page will look for a residential user who
|
|
is connected only through a slow link.
|
|
You should not use only one pipe for both directions, unless
|
|
you want to simulate a half-duplex medium (e.g.\& AppleTalk,
|
|
Ethernet, IRDA).
|
|
It is not necessary that both pipes have the same configuration,
|
|
so we can also simulate asymmetric links.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Should we want to verify network performance with the RED queue
|
|
management algorithm:
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Dl "ipfw add pipe 1 ip from any to any"
|
|
.Dl "ipfw pipe 1 config bw 500Kbit/s queue 100 red 0.002/30/80/0.1"
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Another typical application of the traffic shaper is to
|
|
introduce some delay in the communication.
|
|
This can significantly affect applications which do a lot of Remote
|
|
Procedure Calls, and where the round-trip-time of the
|
|
connection often becomes a limiting factor much more than
|
|
bandwidth:
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Dl "ipfw add pipe 1 ip from any to any out"
|
|
.Dl "ipfw add pipe 2 ip from any to any in"
|
|
.Dl "ipfw pipe 1 config delay 250ms bw 1Mbit/s"
|
|
.Dl "ipfw pipe 2 config delay 250ms bw 1Mbit/s"
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Per-flow queueing can be useful for a variety of purposes.
|
|
A very simple one is counting traffic:
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Dl "ipfw add pipe 1 tcp from any to any"
|
|
.Dl "ipfw add pipe 1 udp from any to any"
|
|
.Dl "ipfw add pipe 1 ip from any to any"
|
|
.Dl "ipfw pipe 1 config mask all"
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The above set of rules will create queues (and collect
|
|
statistics) for all traffic.
|
|
Because the pipes have no limitations, the only effect is
|
|
collecting statistics.
|
|
Note that we need 3 rules, not just the last one, because
|
|
when
|
|
.Nm
|
|
tries to match IP packets it will not consider ports, so we
|
|
would not see connections on separate ports as different
|
|
ones.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
A more sophisticated example is limiting the outbound traffic
|
|
on a net with per-host limits, rather than per-network limits:
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Dl "ipfw add pipe 1 ip from 192.168.2.0/24 to any out"
|
|
.Dl "ipfw add pipe 2 ip from any to 192.168.2.0/24 in"
|
|
.Dl "ipfw pipe 1 config mask src-ip 0x000000ff bw 200Kbit/s queue 20Kbytes"
|
|
.Dl "ipfw pipe 2 config mask dst-ip 0x000000ff bw 200Kbit/s queue 20Kbytes"
|
|
.Ss LOOKUP TABLES
|
|
In the following example, we need to create several traffic bandwidth
|
|
classes and we need different hosts/networks to fall into different classes.
|
|
We create one pipe for each class and configure them accordingly.
|
|
Then we create a single table and fill it with IP subnets and addresses.
|
|
For each subnet/host we set the argument equal to the number of the pipe
|
|
that it should use.
|
|
Then we classify traffic using a single rule:
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Dl "ipfw pipe 1 config bw 1000Kbyte/s"
|
|
.Dl "ipfw pipe 4 config bw 4000Kbyte/s"
|
|
.Dl "..."
|
|
.Dl "ipfw table 1 add 192.168.2.0/24 1"
|
|
.Dl "ipfw table 1 add 192.168.0.0/27 4"
|
|
.Dl "ipfw table 1 add 192.168.0.2 1"
|
|
.Dl "..."
|
|
.Dl "ipfw add pipe tablearg ip from table(1) to any"
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Using the
|
|
.Cm fwd
|
|
action, the table entries may include hostnames and IP addresses.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Dl "ipfw table 1 add 192.168.2.0/24 10.23.2.1"
|
|
.Dl "ipfw table 1 add 192.168.0.0/27 router1.dmz"
|
|
.Dl "..."
|
|
.Dl "ipfw add 100 fwd tablearg ip from any to table(1)"
|
|
.Ss SETS OF RULES
|
|
To add a set of rules atomically, e.g.\& set 18:
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Dl "ipfw set disable 18"
|
|
.Dl "ipfw add NN set 18 ... # repeat as needed"
|
|
.Dl "ipfw set enable 18"
|
|
.Pp
|
|
To delete a set of rules atomically the command is simply:
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Dl "ipfw delete set 18"
|
|
.Pp
|
|
To test a ruleset and disable it and regain control if something goes wrong:
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Dl "ipfw set disable 18"
|
|
.Dl "ipfw add NN set 18 ... # repeat as needed"
|
|
.Dl "ipfw set enable 18; echo done; sleep 30 && ipfw set disable 18"
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Here if everything goes well, you press control-C before the "sleep"
|
|
terminates, and your ruleset will be left active.
|
|
Otherwise, e.g.\& if
|
|
you cannot access your box, the ruleset will be disabled after
|
|
the sleep terminates thus restoring the previous situation.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
To show rules of the specific set:
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Dl "ipfw set 18 show"
|
|
.Pp
|
|
To show rules of the disabled set:
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Dl "ipfw -S set 18 show"
|
|
.Pp
|
|
To clear a specific rule counters of the specific set:
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Dl "ipfw set 18 zero NN"
|
|
.Pp
|
|
To delete a specific rule of the specific set:
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Dl "ipfw set 18 delete NN"
|
|
.Ss NAT, REDIRECT AND LSNAT
|
|
First redirect all the traffic to nat instance 123:
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Dl "ipfw add nat 123 all from any to any"
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Then to configure nat instance 123 to alias all the outgoing traffic with ip
|
|
192.168.0.123, blocking all incoming connections, trying to keep
|
|
same ports on both sides, clearing aliasing table on address change
|
|
and keeping a log of traffic/link statistics:
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Dl "ipfw nat 123 config ip 192.168.0.123 log deny_in reset same_ports"
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Or to change address of instance 123, aliasing table will be cleared (see
|
|
reset option):
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Dl "ipfw nat 123 config ip 10.0.0.1"
|
|
.Pp
|
|
To see configuration of nat instance 123:
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Dl "ipfw nat 123 show config"
|
|
.Pp
|
|
To show logs of all the instances in range 111-999:
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Dl "ipfw nat 111-999 show"
|
|
.Pp
|
|
To see configurations of all instances:
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Dl "ipfw nat show config"
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Or a redirect rule with mixed modes could looks like:
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Dl "ipfw nat 123 config redirect_addr 10.0.0.1 10.0.0.66"
|
|
.Dl " redirect_port tcp 192.168.0.1:80 500"
|
|
.Dl " redirect_proto udp 192.168.1.43 192.168.1.1"
|
|
.Dl " redirect_addr 192.168.0.10,192.168.0.11"
|
|
.Dl " 10.0.0.100 # LSNAT"
|
|
.Dl " redirect_port tcp 192.168.0.1:80,192.168.0.10:22"
|
|
.Dl " 500 # LSNAT"
|
|
.Pp
|
|
or it could be split in:
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Dl "ipfw nat 1 config redirect_addr 10.0.0.1 10.0.0.66"
|
|
.Dl "ipfw nat 2 config redirect_port tcp 192.168.0.1:80 500"
|
|
.Dl "ipfw nat 3 config redirect_proto udp 192.168.1.43 192.168.1.1"
|
|
.Dl "ipfw nat 4 config redirect_addr 192.168.0.10,192.168.0.11,192.168.0.12"
|
|
.Dl " 10.0.0.100"
|
|
.Dl "ipfw nat 5 config redirect_port tcp"
|
|
.Dl " 192.168.0.1:80,192.168.0.10:22,192.168.0.20:25 500"

.Sh BUGS
|
|
The syntax has grown over the years and sometimes it might be confusing.
|
|
Unfortunately, backward compatibility prevents cleaning up mistakes
|
|
made in the definition of the syntax.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Em !!! WARNING !!!
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Misconfiguring the firewall can put your computer in an unusable state,
|
|
possibly shutting down network services and requiring console access to
|
|
regain control of it.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Incoming packet fragments diverted by
|
|
.Cm divert
|
|
are reassembled before delivery to the socket.
|
|
The action used on those packet is the one from the
|
|
rule which matches the first fragment of the packet.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Packets diverted to userland, and then reinserted by a userland process
|
|
may lose various packet attributes.
|
|
The packet source interface name
|
|
will be preserved if it is shorter than 8 bytes and the userland process
|
|
saves and reuses the sockaddr_in
|
|
(as does
|
|

If a packet is reinserted in this manner, later rules may be incorrectly

applied, making the order of

Dummynet drops all packets with IPv6 link-local addresses.

Rules using

.Cm uid
|
|
or
|
|
.Cm gid
|
|
may not behave as expected.
|
|
In particular, incoming SYN packets may
|
|
have no uid or gid associated with them since they do not yet belong
|
|
to a TCP connection, and the uid/gid associated with a packet may not
|
|
be as expected if the associated process calls
|
|
.Xr setuid 2
|
|
or similar system calls.

Rule syntax is subject to the command line environment and some patterns

may need to be escaped with the backslash character

or quoted appropriately.

ipfw nat is not compatible with the TCP segmentation offloading (TSO).

Thus, to reliably nat your network traffic, please disable TSO

on your NICs using

ICMP error messages are not implicitly matched by dynamic rules

for the respective conversations.

To avoid failures of network error detection and path MTU discovery,
|
|
ICMP error messages may need to be allowed explicitly through static
|
|
rules.
