The interface can be physical or -virtual such as tunnels (VPN, PPTP, GRE, etc) and are treated exactly -the same. - -Traffic flows from zone A to zone B. That flow is what I refer to as a -zone-pair-direction. eg. A->B and B->A are two zone-pair-destinations. - -Ruleset are created per zone-pair-direction. - -I name rule sets to indicate which zone-pair-direction they represent. -eg. ZoneA-ZoneB or ZoneB-ZoneA. LAN-DMZ, DMZ-LAN. - -In VyOS, you have to have unique Ruleset names. In the event of overlap, -I add a "-6" to the end of v6 rulesets. eg. LAN-DMZ, LAN-DMZ-6. This -allows for each auto-completion and uniqueness. - -In this example we have 4 zones. LAN, WAN, DMZ, Local. The local zone is -the firewall itself. - -If your computer is on the LAN and you need to SSH into your VyOS box, -you would need a rule to allow it in the LAN-Local ruleset. If you want -to access a webpage from your VyOS box, you need a rule to allow it in -the Local-LAN ruleset. - -In rules, it is good to keep them named consistently. As the number of -rules you have grows, the more consistency you have, the easier your -life will be. - -```none -Rule 1 - State Established, Related -Rule 2 - State Invalid -Rule 100 - ICMP -Rule 200 - Web -Rule 300 - FTP -Rule 400 - NTP -Rule 500 - SMTP -Rule 600 - DNS -Rule 700 - DHCP -Rule 800 - SSH -Rule 900 - IMAPS -``` - -The first two rules are to deal with the idiosyncrasies of VyOS and -iptables. - -Zones and Rulesets both have a default action statement. When using -Zone-Policies, the default action is set by the zone-policy statement -and is represented by rule 10000. - -It is good practice to log both accepted and denied traffic. It can save -you significant headaches when trying to troubleshoot a connectivity -issue. - -To add logging to the default rule, do: - -```none -set firewall name <ruleSet> default-log -``` - -By default, iptables does not allow traffic for established sessions to -return, so you must explicitly allow this. I do this by adding two rules -to every ruleset. 1 allows established and related state packets through -and rule 2 drops and logs invalid state packets. We place the -established/related rule at the top because the vast majority of traffic -on a network is established and the invalid rule to prevent invalid -state packets from mistakenly being matched against other rules. Having -the most matched rule listed first reduces CPU load in high volume -environments. Note: I have filed a bug to have this added as a default -action as well. - -''It is important to note, that you do not want to add logging to the -established state rule as you will be logging both the inbound and -outbound packets for each session instead of just the initiation of the -session. Your logs will be massive in a very short period of time.'' - -In VyOS you must have the interfaces created before you can apply it to -the zone and the rulesets must be created prior to applying it to a -zone-policy. - -I create/configure the interfaces first. Build out the rulesets for each -zone-pair-direction which includes at least the three state rules. Then -I setup the zone-policies. - -Zones do not allow for a default action of accept; either drop or -reject. It is important to remember this because if you apply an -interface to a zone and commit, any active connections will be dropped. -Specifically, if you are SSH’d into VyOS and add local or the interface -you are connecting through to a zone and do not have rulesets in place -to allow SSH and established sessions, you will not be able to connect. - -The following are the rules that were created for this example (may not -be complete), both in IPv4 and IPv6. If there is no IP specified, then -the source/destination address is not explicit. - -```none -WAN - DMZ:192.168.200.200 - tcp/80 -WAN - DMZ:192.168.200.200 - tcp/443 -WAN - DMZ:192.168.200.200 - tcp/25 -WAN - DMZ:192.168.200.200 - tcp/53 -WAN - DMZ:2001:0DB8:0:BBBB::200 - tcp/80 -WAN - DMZ:2001:0DB8:0:BBBB::200 - tcp/443 -WAN - DMZ:2001:0DB8:0:BBBB::200 - tcp/25 -WAN - DMZ:2001:0DB8:0:BBBB::200 - tcp/53 - -DMZ - Local - tcp/53 -DMZ - Local - tcp/123 -DMZ - Local - tcp/67,68 - -LAN - Local - tcp/53 -LAN - Local - tcp/123 -LAN - Local - tcp/67,68 -LAN:192.168.100.10 - Local - tcp/22 -LAN:2001:0DB8:0:AAAA::10 - Local - tcp/22 - -LAN - WAN - tcp/80 -LAN - WAN - tcp/443 -LAN - WAN - tcp/22 -LAN - WAN - tcp/20,21 - -DMZ - WAN - tcp/80 -DMZ - WAN - tcp/443 -DMZ - WAN - tcp/22 -DMZ - WAN - tcp/20,21 -DMZ - WAN - tcp/53 -DMZ - WAN - udp/53 - -Local - WAN - tcp/80 -Local - WAN - tcp/443 -Local - WAN - tcp/20,21 - -Local - DMZ - tcp/25 -Local - DMZ - tcp/67,68 -Local - DMZ - tcp/53 -Local - DMZ - udp/53 - -Local - LAN - tcp/67,68 - -LAN - DMZ - tcp/80 -LAN - DMZ - tcp/443 -LAN - DMZ - tcp/993 -LAN:2001:0DB8:0:AAAA::10 - DMZ:2001:0DB8:0:BBBB::200 - tcp/22 -LAN:192.168.100.10 - DMZ:192.168.200.200 - tcp/22 -``` - -Since we have 4 zones, we need to setup the following rulesets. - -```none -Lan-wan -Lan-local -Lan-dmz -Wan-lan -Wan-local -Wan-dmz -Local-lan -Local-wan -Local-dmz -Dmz-lan -Dmz-wan -Dmz-local -``` - -Even if the two zones will never communicate, it is a good idea to -create the zone-pair-direction rulesets and set default-log.
