Firewall (iptables)

linux powerful firewall
- print out the configuration running:
iptables -L
- or better (this will print all tables and chains)
iptables-save
- some rules:
target prot opt source destination ACCEPT all -- anywhere anywhere ACCEPT icmp -- anywhere anywhere icmp any ACCEPT ipv6-crypt-- anywhere anywhere ACCEPT ipv6-auth-- anywhere anywhere ACCEPT udp -- anywhere 224.0.0.251 udp dpt:mdns ACCEPT udp -- anywhere anywhere udp dpt:ipp ACCEPT tcp -- anywhere anywhere tcp dpt:ipp ACCEPT all -- anywhere anywhere state RELATED,ESTABLISHED ACCEPT tcp -- anywhere anywhere state NEW tcp dpt:ssh ACCEPT tcp -- anywhere anywhere state NEW tcp dpt:http ACCEPT tcp -- anywhere anywhere state NEW tcp dpt:46590 ACCEPT udp -- anywhere anywhere state NEW udp dpt:46720 REJECT all -- anywhere anywhere reject-with icmp-host-prohibited
- add a rule to accept connections on port 5901 (vncserver)
iptables -A INPUT -m state --state NEW -m tcp -p tcp --dport 5901 -j ACCEPT
saving configuration in a file
iptables-save > backup_iptables
restore conf from a file
iptables-restore < backup_iptables
- this will only enable the configuration while iptables process is restarted, to avoid this, we need to save the configuration:
/etc/init.d/iptables save
- now we can restart/reboot
redirecting connections
from a specified port to an host
iptables -A PREROUTING -d HOSTONE -p tcp -m tcp --dport 80 -j DNAT --to-destination HOSTWO:80 iptables -A POSTROUTING -d HOSTWO -j SNAT --to-source HOSTONE
