The firewall (FW) is a key component of your server's security.

Principle

This is how a firewall works:

You can search Internet to get all the related theory. My aim is not to explain that over here but just to give you HOW to do that.

The following codes and examples are based iptables and ip6tables.

Set IP preference

If you enable IPv6 then that will be the default.

You can override that and set IPv4 as the default protocol:

vim /etc/gai.conf

About line 54, un-comment the following line:

#
#    For sites which prefer IPv4 connections change the last line to
#
precedence ::ffff:0:0/96  100

Enable modules

First things first! Before writing any rule you have to enable the required modules in your current O.S.

- Note -

If your server is hosted over Internet then you're probably using a custom Kernel (such as OVH, Tripnet, ...). In that case most modules are already enabled.

MODPROBE=`which modprobe`


echo -e " "		
echo -e "-----------------------------"
echo -e " Enable networking modules"
echo -e "-----------------------------"

# IPv4
echo " ... IPv4"
$MODPROBE ip_tables
$MODPROBE iptable_filter
$MODPROBE iptable_mangle
# Allow to use state match
$MODPROBE ip_conntrack

# IPv6
echo " ... IPv6"
$MODPROBE ip6_tables
$MODPROBE ip6table_filter
$MODPROBE ip6table_mangle

# Allow NAT
echo " ... NAT"
$MODPROBE iptable_nat

# Allow active / passive FTP
echo " ... FTP"
$MODPROBE ip_conntrack_ftp
$MODPROBE ip_nat_ftp

# Allow log limits
echo " ... burst limit"
$MODPROBE ipt_limit

Default policy

This is how you defined a default policy.

Note:

You have to adjust the policy to your own settings
You should NOT set the INPUT in ACCEPT mode. That's risky!

IPTABLES=`which iptables`
IP6TABLES=`which ip6tables`

Allow services and network protocols

DHCP

DHCP client:

IPTABLES=`which iptables`

# DHCP client >> Broadcast IP request 
$IPTABLES -A OUTPUT -p udp -d 255.255.255.255 --sport 68 --dport 67 -j ACCEPT
$IPTABLES -A INPUT -p udp -s 255.255.255.255 --sport 67 --dport 68 -j ACCEPT
$IPTABLES -A OUTPUT -p udp --dport 67 -j ACCEPT 
$IPTABLES -A OUTPUT -p udp --dport 68 -j ACCEPT

DNS

This will allow your computer to perform DNS requests:

IPTABLES=`which iptables`
IP6TABLES=`which ip6tables`

$IPTABLES -A OUTPUT -p udp --dport 53 -m limit --limit 100/s -j ACCEPT
$IPTABLES -A OUTPUT -p udp --sport 53 -m limit --limit 100/s -j ACCEPT
$IPTABLES -A INPUT -p udp --sport 53 -m limit --limit 100/s -j ACCEPT
$IPTABLES -A INPUT -p udp --dport 53 -m limit --limit 100/s -j ACCEPT


$IP6TABLES -A OUTPUT -p udp --dport 53 -m limit --limit 100/s -j ACCEPT
$IP6TABLES -A OUTPUT -p udp --sport 53 -m limit --limit 100/s -j ACCEPT
$IP6TABLES -A INPUT -p udp --dport 53 -m limit --limit 100/s -j ACCEPT
$IP6TABLES -A INPUT -p udp --sport 53 -m limit --limit 100/s -j ACCEPT

LAN communication

To allow communication in the local network, without any restrictions:

IPTABLES=`which iptables`
LAN_ADDRESS="172.16.50.0/24"

$IPTABLES -A INPUT -s $LAN_ADDRESS -d $LAN_ADDRESS -j ACCEPT
$IPTABLES -A OUTPUT -s $LAN_ADDRESS -d $LAN_ADDRESS -j ACCEPT

FTP client

IPTABLES=`which iptables`

# FTP client - base rules
$IPTABLES -A INPUT -p tcp --sport 21 -m state --state ESTABLISHED -j ACCEPT
$IPTABLES -A OUTPUT -p tcp --dport 21 -m state --state NEW,ESTABLISHED -j ACCEPT

# Active FTP
$IPTABLES -A INPUT -p tcp --sport 20 -m state --state ESTABLISHED,RELATED -j ACCEPT
$IPTABLES -A OUTPUT -p tcp --dport 20 -m state --state ESTABLISHED -j ACCEPT

# Passive FTP
$IPTABLES -A INPUT -p tcp --sport 1024: --dport 1024: -m state --state ESTABLISHED -j ACCEPT
$IPTABLES -A OUTPUT -p tcp --sport 1024: --dport 1024: -m state --state ESTABLISHED,RELATED -j ACCEPT

VPN

Adjust the following to your own port, network ID and protocol:

IPTABLES=`which iptables`

INT_ETH=eth0
IP_LAN_ETH=`/sbin/ifconfig $INT_ETH | grep 'inet addr:' | cut -d: -f2 | awk '{ print $1}'`

INT_VPN=tun0
VPN_PORT="8080"
VPN_PROTOCOL="udp"
LAN_ADDRESS_VPN="172.16.60.0/24"

echo -e " "		
echo -e "------------------------"
echo -e " VPN configuration"
echo -e "------------------------"

echo " " 
echo -e "# VPN interface  : $INT_VPN"
echo -e "# VPN IP @       : $LAN_ADDRESS_VPN"
echo -e "# VPN port       : $VPN_PORT"
echo -e "# VPN protocol   : $VPN_PROTOCOL"
echo -e "-------------------------------------- "

# Allow devices communication $ETH0 <--> tun0
$IPTABLES -t nat -A POSTROUTING -s $LAN_ADDRESS_VPN -o $INT_ETH -j MASQUERADE
$IPTABLES -A FORWARD -s $LAN_ADDRESS_VPN -j ACCEPT

echo -e " ... Allow VPN connections"
$IPTABLES -A INPUT -p $VPN_PROTOCOL --dport $VPN_PORT -j ACCEPT
$IPTABLES -A OUTPUT -p tcp --dport $VPN_PORT -j ACCEPT

echo -e " ... Allow everything to go through VPN - all INPUT,OUTPUT,FORWARD"
$IPTABLES -A INPUT -i $INT_VPN -m state ! --state INVALID -j ACCEPT
$IPTABLES -A OUTPUT -o $INT_VPN -m state ! --state INVALID -j ACCEPT
$IPTABLES -A FORWARD -o $INT_VPN -m state ! --state INVALID -j ACCEPT

echo -e " ... Allow VPN network communication (required for client <> client comm.)"
$IPTABLES -A INPUT -s $LAN_ADDRESS_VPN -d $LAN_ADDRESS_VPN -j ACCEPT
$IPTABLES -A OUTPUT -s $LAN_ADDRESS_VPN -d $LAN_ADDRESS_VPN -j ACCEPT

Servers

SSH

# SSH - max 3 connection request per minute
$IPTABLES -A INPUT -p tcp -m limit 3/min --limit-burst 3 --dport 22 -j ACCEPT

DHCP

This is how you enable a DHCP server with TFTP (netBoot) :

IPTABLES=`which iptables`

# Allow LAN communication
# ... Required for NFS and the NetBoot ...
$IPTABLES -A INPUT -s $LAN_ADDRESS -d $LAN_ADDRESS -m state ! --state INVALID -j ACCEPT
$IPTABLES -A OUTPUT -s $LAN_ADDRESS -d $LAN_ADDRESS -m state ! --state INVALID -j ACCEPT
 
########################
# INPUT filters
########################
 
##### DHCP client ######
# Broadcast IP request 
$IPTABLES -A OUTPUT -p udp -d 255.255.255.255 --sport 68 --dport 67 -j ACCEPT
# Send / reply to IPs requests
$IPTABLES -A INPUT -p udp -s 255.255.255.255 --sport 67 --dport 68 -j ACCEPT
 
###### DHCP server ######
# Received client's requests [udp + tcp]
$IPTABLES -A INPUT -p udp --sport 68 --dport 67 -j ACCEPT
$IPTABLES -A INPUT -p tcp --sport 68 --dport 67 -j ACCEPT

# NetBoot - TFTP server
$IPTABLES -A INPUT -p udp -s $LAN_ADDRESS --dport 69 -j ACCEPT
 
 
########################
# OUTPUT filters
########################
# DHCP [udp + tcp]
$IPTABLES -A OUTPUT -p udp --dport 67 -j ACCEPT
$IPTABLES -A OUTPUT -p tcp --dport 67 -j ACCEPT
$IPTABLES -A OUTPUT -p udp --dport 68 -j ACCEPT
$IPTABLES -A OUTPUT -p tcp --dport 68 -j ACCEPT
 
# TFTP NetBoot 
$IPTABLES -A OUTPUT -p udp --dport 69 -j ACCEPT

Note the difference between the broadcast request that every computer should allow and the plain OUTPUT allow on ports 67,68 for the DHCP server !!

Advanced feature

Port forwarding

Principle

The aim is to reach a server located behind the actual server we are working on.

To do a port forwarding you have to:

Allow forwarding for the target
Open the incoming port [input + output]
Register the target server and allow POST-ROUTING operations on it
Route the incoming port to the target server + port number

Requirements:

Enable port forwading
The current server must be able to reach the target {server,port}

IpTables script

You have to declare the following only ONCE in all your FW script:

Enable module

#### Requirement: enable port forwarding in general
echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/conf/eth0/forwarding
echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv6/conf/all/forwarding

Allow forwarding for [all,some] requests

#### Requirement: allow forwarding
# Allow all forwarding
$IPTABLES -A FORWARD -J ACCEPT
# Allow forward for some particular network or IP @
$IPTABLES -A FORWARD -s 172.16.50.0/24 -J ACCEPT
$IPTABLES -A FORWARD -s 5.39.81.23 -J ACCEPT

Perform port forwarding

You have to do the following for each computer / server you plan to serve:

####
# 1. Open target port
$IPTABLES -A INPUT -p tcp --dport 3389 -j ACCEPT
$IPTABLES -A OUTPUT -p tcp --dport 3389 -j ACCEPT

# 2. Enable Port forwarding to Windows server 192.168.100.10
$IPTABLES -A POSTROUTING -d 192.168.100.10 -t nat -j MASQUERADE

# 3. Redirect services to target server
$IPTABLES -A PREROUTING -t nat -p tcp --dport 3389 -j DNAT --to 192.168.100.10:3389
$IPTABLES -A PREROUTING -t nat -p tcp --dport 81 -j DNAT --to 192.168.100.10:80

Source address filtering

You can restricted the access of a particular service to a limited set of source networks, IP @.

Example:

# Only allow company's offices to access our Tomcat
$IPTABLES -A INPUT -p tcp --dport 8088 -s 192.168.1.0/24 -j ACCEPT           # Sweden LAN
$IPTABLES -A INPUT -p tcp --dport 8088 -s 90.83.80.64/27 -j ACCEPT           # FR remote
$IPTABLES -A INPUT -p tcp --dport 8088 -s 90.83.80.123/27 -j ACCEPT          # FR remote
$IPTABLES -A INPUT -p tcp --dport 8088 -s 77.68.140.115/24 -j ACCEPT         # DK remote
$IPTABLES -A INPUT -p tcp --dport 8088 -s 0.0.0.0/0 -j DROP             # DROP all the rest !

Don't forget to drop all the rest at the end !!

Note

All this knowledge is the result of years of experiments and trials. Don't hesitate to search over Internet for more advanced || simpler rules.
