Firewall
########
********
Overview
********
VyOS makes use of Linux `netfilter <https://netfilter.org/>`_ for packet
filtering.
The firewall supports the creation of groups for addresses, domains,
interfaces, mac-addresses, networks and port groups. This groups can be used
later in firewall ruleset as desired.
.. note:: **Important note on usage of terms:**
The firewall makes use of the terms `forward`, `input`, and `output`
for firewall policy. More information of Netfilter hooks and Linux
networking packet flows can be found in `Netfilter-Hooks
<https://wiki.nftables.org/wiki-nftables/index.php/Netfilter_hooks>`_
Main structure is shown next:
.. code-block:: none
- set firewall
* global-options
+ all-ping
+ broadcast-ping
+ ...
* group
- address-group
- ipv6-address-group
- network-group
- ipv6-network-group
- interface-group
- mac-group
- port-group
- domain-group
* ipv4
- forward
+ filter
- input
+ filter
- output
+ filter
- name
+ custom_name
* ipv6
- forward
+ filter
- input
+ filter
- output
+ filter
- ipv6-name
+ custom_name
Where, main key words and configuration paths that needs to be understood:
* For firewall filtering, configuration should be done in ``set firewall
[ipv4 | ipv6] ...``
* For transit traffic, which is received by the router and forwarded,
base chain is **forward filter**: ``set firewall [ipv4 | ipv6]
forward filter ...``
* For traffic originated by the router, base chain is **output filter**:
``set firewall [ipv4 | ipv6] output filter ...``
* For traffic towards the router itself, base chain is **input filter**:
``set firewall [ipv4 | ipv6] input filter ...``
.. note:: **Important note about default-actions:**
If default action for any chain is not defined, then the default
action is set to **accept** for that chain. Only for custom chains,
the default action is set to **drop**.
Custom firewall chains can be created, with commands
``set firewall [ipv4 | ipv6] [name | ipv6-name] <name> ...``. In order to use
such custom chain, a rule with **action jump**, and the appropiate **target**
should be defined in a base chain.
**************
Global Options
**************
Some firewall settings are global and have an affect on the whole system.
.. cfgcmd:: set firewall global-options all-ping [enable | disable]
By default, when VyOS receives an ICMP echo request packet destined for
itself, it will answer with an ICMP echo reply, unless you avoid it
through its firewall.
With the firewall you can set rules to accept, drop or reject ICMP in,
out or local traffic. You can also use the general **firewall all-ping**
command. This command affects only to LOCAL (packets destined for your
VyOS system), not to IN or OUT traffic.
.. note:: **firewall global-options all-ping** affects only to LOCAL
and it always behaves in the most restrictive way
.. code-block:: none
set firewall global-options all-ping enable
When the command above is set, VyOS will answer every ICMP echo request
addressed to itself, but that will only happen if no other rule is
applied dropping or rejecting local echo requests. In case of conflict,
VyOS will not answer ICMP echo requests.
.. code-block:: none
set firewall global-options all-ping disable
When the command above is set, VyOS will answer no ICMP echo request
addressed to itself at all, no matter where it comes from or whether
more specific rules are being applied to accept them.
.. cfgcmd:: set firewall global-options broadcast-ping [enable | disable]
This setting enable or disable the response of icmp broadcast
messages. The following system parameter will be altered:
* ``net.ipv4.icmp_echo_ignore_broadcasts``
.. cfgcmd:: set firewall global-options ip-src-route [enable | disable]
.. cfgcmd:: set firewall global-options ipv6-src-route [enable | disable]
This setting handle if VyOS accept packets with a source route
option. The following system parameter will be altered:
* ``net.ipv4.conf.all.accept_source_route``
* ``net.ipv6.conf.all.accept_source_route``
.. cfgcmd:: set firewall global-options receive-redirects [enable | disable]
.. cfgcmd:: set firewall global-options ipv6-receive-redirects
[enable | disable]
enable or disable of ICMPv4 or ICMPv6 redirect messages accepted
by VyOS. The following system parameter will be altered:
* ``net.ipv4.conf.all.accept_redirects``
* ``net.ipv6.conf.all.accept_redirects``
.. cfgcmd:: set firewall global-options send-redirects [enable | disable]
enable or disable ICMPv4 redirect messages send by VyOS
The following system parameter will be altered:
* ``net.ipv4.conf.all.send_redirects``
.. cfgcmd:: set firewall global-options log-martians [enable | disable]
enable or disable the logging of martian IPv4 packets.
The following system parameter will be altered:
* ``net.ipv4.conf.all.log_martians``
.. cfgcmd:: set firewall global-options source-validation
[strict | loose | disable]
Set the IPv4 source validation mode.
The following system parameter will be altered:
* ``net.ipv4.conf.all.rp_filter``
.. cfgcmd:: set firewall global-options syn-cookies [enable | disable]
Enable or Disable if VyOS use IPv4 TCP SYN Cookies.
The following system parameter will be altered:
* ``net.ipv4.tcp_syncookies``
.. cfgcmd:: set firewall global-options twa-hazards-protection
[enable | disable]
Enable or Disable VyOS to be :rfc:`1337` conform.
The following system parameter will be altered:
* ``net.ipv4.tcp_rfc1337``
******
Groups
******
Firewall groups represent collections of IP addresses, networks, ports,
mac addresses, domains or interfaces. Once created, a group can be referenced
by firewall, nat and policy route rules as either a source or destination
matcher, and as inbpund/outbound in the case of interface group.
Address Groups
==============
In an **address group** a single IP address or IP address ranges are
defined.
.. cfgcmd:: set firewall group address-group <name> address [address |
address range]
.. cfgcmd:: set firewall group ipv6-address-group <name> address <address>
Define a IPv4 or a IPv6 address group
.. code-block:: none
set firewall group address-group ADR-INSIDE-v4 address 192.168.0.1
set firewall group address-group ADR-INSIDE-v4 address 10.0.0.1-10.0.0.8
set firewall group ipv6-address-group ADR-INSIDE-v6 address 2001:db8::1
.. cfgcmd:: set firewall group address-group <name> description <text>
.. cfgcmd:: set firewall group ipv6-address-group <name> description <text>
Provide a IPv4 or IPv6 address group description
Network Groups
==============
While **network groups** accept IP networks in CIDR notation, specific
IP addresses can be added as a 32-bit prefix. If you foresee the need
to add a mix of addresses and networks, the network group is
recommended.
.. cfgcmd:: set firewall group network-group <name> network <CIDR>
.. cfgcmd:: set firewall group ipv6-network-group <name> network <CIDR>
Define a IPv4 or IPv6 Network group.
.. code-block:: none
set firewall group network-group NET-INSIDE-v4 network 192.168.0.0/24
set firewall group network-group NET-INSIDE-v4 network 192.168.1.0/24
set firewall group ipv6-network-group NET-INSIDE-v6 network 2001:db8::/64
.. cfgcmd:: set firewall group network-group <name> description <text>
.. cfgcmd:: set firewall group ipv6-network-group <name> description <text>
Provide an IPv4 or IPv6 network group description.
Interface Groups
================
An **interface group** represents a collection of interfaces.
.. cfgcmd:: set firewall group interface-group <name> interface <text>
Define an interface group. Wildcard are accepted too.
.. code-block:: none
set firewall group interface-group LAN interface bond1001
set firewall group interface-group LAN interface eth3*
.. cfgcmd:: set firewall group interface-group <name> description <text>
Provide an interface group description
Port Groups
===========
A **port group** represents only port numbers, not the protocol. Port
groups can be referenced for either TCP or UDP. It is recommended that
TCP and UDP groups are created separately to avoid accidentally
filtering unnecessary ports. Ranges of ports can be specified by using
`-`.
.. cfgcmd:: set firewall group port-group <name> port
[portname | portnumber | startport-endport]
Define a port group. A port name can be any name defined in
/etc/services. e.g.: http
.. code-block:: none
set firewall group port-group PORT-TCP-SERVER1 port http
set firewall group port-group PORT-TCP-SERVER1 port 443
set firewall group port-group PORT-TCP-SERVER1 port 5000-5010
.. cfgcmd:: set firewall group port-group <name> description <text>
Provide a port group description.
MAC Groups
==========
A **mac group** represents a collection of mac addresses.
.. cfgcmd:: set firewall group mac-group <name> mac-address <mac-address>
Define a mac group.
.. code-block:: none
set firewall group mac-group MAC-G01 mac-address 88:a4:c2:15:b6:4f
set firewall group mac-group MAC-G01 mac-address 4c:d5:77:c0:19:81
.. cfgcmd:: set firewall group mac-group <name> description <text>
Provide a mac group description.
Domain Groups
=============
A **domain group** represents a collection of domains.
.. cfgcmd:: set firewall group domain-group <name> address <domain>
Define a domain group.
.. code-block:: none
set firewall group domain-group DOM address example.com
.. cfgcmd:: set firewall group domain-group <name> description <text>
Provide a domain group description.
**************
Firewall Rules
**************
For firewall filtering, firewall rules needs to be created. Each rule is
numbered, has an action to apply if the rule is matched, and the ability
to specify multiple criteria matchers. Data packets go through the rules
from 1 - 999999, so order is crucial. At the first match the action of the
rule will be executed.
Actions
=======
If a rule is defined, then an action must be defined for it. This tells the
firewall what to do if all criteria matchers defined for such rule do match.
The action can be :
* ``accept``: accept the packet.
* ``drop``: drop the packet.
* ``reject``: reject the packet.
* ``jump``: jump to another custom chain.
* ``return``: Return from the current chain and continue at the next rule
of the last chain.
* ``queue``: Enqueue packet to userspace.
* ``synproxy``: synproxy the packet.
.. cfgcmd:: set firewall [ipv4 | ipv6] forward filter rule <1-999999> action
[accept | drop | jump | queue | reject | return | synproxy]
.. cfgcmd:: set firewall [ipv4 | ipv6] input filter rule <1-999999> action
[accept | drop | jump | queue | reject | return | synproxy]
.. cfgcmd:: set firewall [ipv4 | ipv6] output filter rule <1-999999> action
[accept | drop | jump | queue | reject | return]
.. cfgcmd:: set firewall ipv4 name <name> rule <1-999999> action
[accept | drop | jump | queue | reject | return]
.. cfgcmd:: set firewall ipv6 ipv6-name <name> rule <1-999999> action
[accept | drop | jump | queue | reject | return]
This required setting defines the action of the current rule. If action is
set to jump, then jump-target is also needed.
.. cfgcmd:: set firewall [ipv4 | ipv6] forward filter rule <1-999999>
jump-target <text>
.. cfgcmd:: set firewall [ipv4 | ipv6] input filter rule <1-999999>
jump-target <text>
.. cfgcmd:: set firewall [ipv4 | ipv6] output filter rule <1-999999>
jump-target <text>
.. cfgcmd:: set firewall ipv4 name <name> rule <1-999999>
jump-target <text>
.. cfgcmd:: set firewall ipv6 ipv6-name <name> rule <1-999999>
jump-target <text>
To be used only when action is set to jump. Use this command to specify
jump target.
Also, **default-action** is an action that takes place whenever a packet does
not match any rule in it's chain. For base chains, possible options for
**default-action** are **accept** or **drop**.
.. cfgcmd:: set firewall [ipv4 | ipv6] forward filter default-action
[accept | drop]
.. cfgcmd:: set firewall [ipv4 | ipv6] input filter default-action
[accept | drop]
.. cfgcmd:: set firewall [ipv4 | ipv6] output filter default-action
[accept | drop]
.. cfgcmd:: set firewall ipv4 name <name> default-action
[accept | drop | jump | queue | reject | return]
.. cfgcmd:: set firewall ipv6 ipv6-name <name> default-action
[accept | drop | jump | queue | reject | return]
This set the default action of the rule-set if no rule matched a packet
criteria. If defacult-action is set to ``jump``, then
``default-jump-target`` is also needed. Note that for base chains, default
action can only be set to ``accept`` or ``drop``, while on custom chain,
more actions are available.
.. cfgcmd:: set firewall name <name> default-jump-target <text>
.. cfgcmd:: set firewall ipv6-name <name> default-jump-target <text>
To be used only when ``defult-action`` is set to ``jump``. Use this
command to specify jump target for default rule.
.. note:: **Important note about default-actions:**
If default action for any chain is not defined, then the default
action is set to **drop** for that chain.
Firewall Logs
=============
Logging can be enable for every single firewall rule. If enabled, other
log options can be defined.
.. cfgcmd:: set firewall [ipv4 | ipv6] forward filter rule <1-999999> log
[disable | enable]
.. cfgcmd:: set firewall [ipv4 | ipv6] input filter rule <1-999999> log
[disable | enable]
.. cfgcmd:: set firewall [ipv4 | ipv6] output filter rule <1-999999> log

.. cfgcmd:: set firewall ipv6 ipv6-name <name> rule <1-999999> log
[disable | enable]
Enable or disable logging for the matched packet.
.. cfgcmd:: set firewall ipv4 name <name> enable-default-log
.. cfgcmd:: set firewall ipv6 ipv6-name <name> enable-default-log
Use this command to enable the logging of the default action on
custom chains.
.. cfgcmd:: set firewall [ipv4 | ipv6] forward filter rule <1-999999>

Firewall Description
====================
For reference, a description can be defined for every single rule, and for
every defined custom chain.
.. cfgcmd:: set firewall ipv4 name <name> description <text>
.. cfgcmd:: set firewall ipv6 ipv6-name <name> description <text>
Provide a rule-set description to a custom firewall chain.
.. cfgcmd:: set firewall [ipv4 | ipv6] forward filter rule <1-999999>
description <text>
.. cfgcmd:: set firewall [ipv4 | ipv6] input filter rule <1-999999>
description <text>
.. cfgcmd:: set firewall [ipv4 | ipv6] output filter rule <1-999999>
description <text>
.. cfgcmd:: set firewall ipv4 name <name> rule <1-999999> description <text>
.. cfgcmd:: set firewall ipv6 ipv6-name <name> rule <1-999999> description <text>
Provide a description for each rule.
Rule Status
===========
When defining a rule, it is enable by default. In some cases, it is useful to
just disable the rule, rather than removing it.
.. cfgcmd:: set firewall [ipv4 | ipv6] forward filter rule <1-999999> disable
.. cfgcmd:: set firewall [ipv4 | ipv6] input filter rule <1-999999> disable
.. cfgcmd:: set firewall [ipv4 | ipv6] output filter rule <1-999999> disable

.. cfgcmd:: set firewall ipv6 ipv6-name <name> rule <1-999999> disable
Command for disabling a rule but keep it in the configuration.
Matching criteria
=================
There are a lot of matching criteria against which the package can be tested.
.. cfgcmd:: set firewall [ipv4 | ipv6] forward filter rule <1-999999>
connection-status nat [destination | source]
.. cfgcmd:: set firewall [ipv4 | ipv6] input filter rule <1-999999>

.. cfgcmd:: set firewall ipv6 ipv6-name <name> rule <1-999999>
destination address [address | addressrange | CIDR]
Match criteria based on source and/or destination address. This is similar
to the network groups part, but here you are able to negate the matching
addresses.
.. code-block:: none
set firewall ipv4 name FOO rule 50 source address 192.0.2.10-192.0.2.11

An arbitrary netmask can be applied to mask addresses to only match against
a specific portion. This is particularly useful with IPv6 as rules will
remain valid if the IPv6 prefix changes and the host
portion of systems IPv6 address is static (for example, with SLAAC or
`tokenised IPv6 addresses
<https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/id/draft-chown-6man-tokenised-ipv6-identifiers-02.txt>`_)
This functions for both individual addresses and address groups.
