Firewall
########
********
Overview
********
VyOS makes use of Linux `netfilter `_ for packet
filtering.
The firewall supports the creation of groups for ports, addresses, and
networks (implemented using netfilter ipset) and the option of interface
or zone based firewall policy.
.. note:: **Important note on usage of terms:**
   The firewall makes use of the terms `in`, `out`, and `local`
   for firewall policy. Users experienced with netfilter often confuse
   `in` to be a reference to the `INPUT` chain, and `out` the `OUTPUT`
   chain from netfilter. This is not the case. These instead indicate
   the use of the `FORWARD` chain and either the input or output
   interface. The `INPUT` chain, which is used for local traffic to the
   OS, is a reference to as `local` with respect to its input interface.
***************
Global settings
***************
Some firewall settings are global and have an affect on the whole system.
.. cfgcmd:: set firewall 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 all-ping** affects only to LOCAL and it always
      behaves in the most restrictive way
   .. code-block:: none
      set firewall 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 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 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``

   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 receive-redirects [enable | disable]
.. cfgcmd:: set firewall ipv6-receive-redirects [enable | disable]
   enable or disable of ICMPv4 or ICMPv6 redirect messages accepted
   by VyOS. The following system parameter will be altered:

Groups
******
Firewall groups represent collections of IP addresses, networks, ports,
mac addresses or domains. Once created, a group can be referenced by 
firewall, nat and policy route rules as either a source or destination
matcher. Members can be added or removed from a group without changes to,
or the need to reload, individual firewall rules.
Groups need to have unique names. Even though some contain IPv4
addresses and others contain IPv6 addresses, they still need to have
unique names, so you may want to append "-v4" or "-v6" to your group
names.
Address Groups
==============
In an **address group** a single IP address or IP address ranges are
defined.
.. cfgcmd::  set firewall group address-group  address [address |
   address range]
.. cfgcmd::  set firewall group ipv6-address-group  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  description 
.. cfgcmd::  set firewall group ipv6-address-group  description 
   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  network 
.. cfgcmd::  set firewall group ipv6-network-group  network 
   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  description 
.. cfgcmd::  set firewall group ipv6-network-group  description 
   Provide a IPv4 or IPv6 network 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  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  description 
   Provide a port group description.
MAC Groups
==========
A **mac group** represents a collection of mac addresses.
.. cfgcmd::  set firewall group mac-group  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
Domain Groups
=============
A **domain group** represents a collection of domains.
.. cfgcmd::  set firewall group domain-group  address 
   Define a domain group.
.. code-block:: none
      set firewall group domain-group DOM address example.com
*********
Rule-Sets
*********
A rule-set is a named collection of firewall rules that can be applied
to an interface or a zone. Each rule is numbered, has an action to apply
if the rule is matched, and the ability to specify the criteria to
match. Data packets go through the rules from 1 - 999999, at the first match
the action of the rule will be executed.
.. cfgcmd:: set firewall name  description 
.. cfgcmd:: set firewall ipv6-name  description 
   Provide a rule-set description.
.. cfgcmd:: set firewall name  default-action [accept | drop | jump |
   reject | return]
.. cfgcmd:: set firewall ipv6-name  default-action [accept | drop |
   jump | 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.
.. cfgcmd:: set firewall name  default-jump-target 
.. cfgcmd:: set firewall ipv6-name  default-jump-target 
   To be used only when ``defult-action`` is set to ``jump``. Use this
   command to specify jump target for default rule.
.. cfgcmd:: set firewall name  enable-default-log
.. cfgcmd:: set firewall ipv6-name  enable-default-log
   Use this command to enable the logging of the default action.
.. cfgcmd:: set firewall name  rule <1-999999> action [accept | drop |
   jump | reject | return]
.. cfgcmd:: set firewall ipv6-name  rule <1-999999> action [accept |
   drop | jump | 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 name  rule <1-999999> jump-target 
.. cfgcmd:: set firewall ipv6-name  rule <1-999999> jump-target 
   To be used only when ``action`` is set to ``jump``. Use this
   command to specify jump target.
.. cfgcmd:: set firewall name  rule <1-999999> description 
.. cfgcmd:: set firewall ipv6-name  rule <1-999999> description 
   Provide a description for each rule.
.. cfgcmd:: set firewall name  rule <1-999999> log [disable | enable]
.. cfgcmd:: set firewall ipv6-name  rule <1-999999> log [disable |
   enable]
   Enable or disable logging for the matched packet.
.. cfgcmd:: set firewall name  rule <1-999999> log-level [emerg |
   alert | crit | err | warn | notice | info | debug]
.. cfgcmd:: set firewall ipv6-name  rule <1-999999> log-level [emerg |
   alert | crit | err | warn | notice | info | debug]
   Define log-level. Only applicable if rule log is enable.
.. cfgcmd:: set firewall name  rule <1-999999> disable
.. cfgcmd:: set firewall ipv6-name  rule <1-999999> disable
   If you want to disable a rule but let it in the configuration.
Matching criteria
=================
There are a lot of matching criteria against which the package can be tested.
.. cfgcmd:: set firewall name  rule <1-999999> connection-status nat
   [destination | source]
.. cfgcmd:: set firewall ipv6-name  rule <1-999999> connection-status
   nat [destination | source]
   Match criteria based on nat connection status.
.. cfgcmd:: set firewall name  rule <1-999999> connection-mark
   <1-2147483647>
.. cfgcmd:: set firewall ipv6-name  rule <1-999999> connection-mark
   <1-2147483647>
   Match criteria based on connection mark.
.. cfgcmd:: set firewall name  rule <1-999999> source address
   [address | addressrange | CIDR]
.. cfgcmd:: set firewall name  rule <1-999999> destination address
   [address | addressrange | CIDR]
.. cfgcmd:: set firewall ipv6-name  rule <1-999999> source address
   [address | addressrange | CIDR]
.. cfgcmd:: set firewall ipv6-name  rule <1-999999> destination address
   [address | addressrange | CIDR]
   This is similar to the network groups part, but here you are able to negate
   the matching addresses.
   .. code-block:: none
      set firewall name WAN-IN-v4 rule 100 source address 192.0.2.10-192.0.2.11
      # with a '!' the rule match everything except the specified subnet
      set firewall name WAN-IN-v4 rule 101 source address !203.0.113.0/24
      set firewall ipv6-name WAN-IN-v6 rule 100 source address 2001:db8::202
.. cfgcmd:: set firewall name  rule <1-999999> source address-mask
   [address]
.. cfgcmd:: set firewall name  rule <1-999999> destination address-mask
   [address]
.. cfgcmd:: set firewall ipv6-name  rule <1-999999> source address-mask
   [address]
.. cfgcmd:: set firewall ipv6-name  rule <1-999999> destination
   address-mask [address]
   An arbitrary netmask can be applied to mask addresses to only match against
   a specific portion. This is particularly useful with IPv6 and a zone-based
   firewall 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
   `_)
   
   This functions for both individual addresses and address groups.
   .. code-block:: none
      # Match any IPv6 address with the suffix ::0000:0000:0000:beef
      set firewall ipv6-name WAN-LAN-v6 rule 100 destination address ::beef
      set firewall ipv6-name WAN-LAN-v6 rule 100 destination address-mask ::ffff:ffff:ffff:ffff
      # Match any IPv4 address with `11` as the 2nd octet and `13` as the forth octet
      set firewall name WAN-LAN-v4 rule 100 destination address 0.11.0.13
      set firewall name WAN-LAN-v4 rule 100 destination address-mask 0.255.0.255
      # Address groups
      set firewall group ipv6-address-group WEBSERVERS address ::1000
      set firewall group ipv6-address-group WEBSERVERS address ::2000
      set firewall name WAN-LAN-v6 rule 200 source group address-group WEBSERVERS
      set firewall name WAN-LAN-v6 rule 200 source address-mask ::ffff:ffff:ffff:ffff
.. cfgcmd:: set firewall name  rule <1-999999> source fqdn 
.. cfgcmd:: set firewall name  rule <1-999999> destination fqdn 
.. cfgcmd:: set firewall ipv6-name  rule <1-999999> source fqdn 
.. cfgcmd:: set firewall ipv6-name  rule <1-999999> destination fqdn
   
   Specify a Fully Qualified Domain Name as source/destination matcher. Ensure
   router is able to resolve such dns query.
.. cfgcmd:: set firewall name  rule <1-999999> source geoip country-code
   
.. cfgcmd:: set firewall name  rule <1-999999> source geoip inverse-match
.. cfgcmd:: set firewall ipv6-name  rule <1-999999> source geoip
   country-code

   Match time to live parameter, where 'eq' stands for 'equal'; 'gt' stands for
   'greater than', and 'lt' stands for 'less than'.
.. cfgcmd:: set firewall ipv6-name  rule <1-999999> hop-limit  <0-255>
   Match hop-limit parameter, where 'eq' stands for 'equal'; 'gt' stands for
   'greater than', and 'lt' stands for 'less than'.
.. cfgcmd:: set firewall name  rule <1-999999> recent count <1-255>

.. cfgcmd:: set firewall name  rule <1-999999> recent time 
.. cfgcmd:: set firewall ipv6-name  rule <1-999999> recent time 
   Match when 'count' amount of connections are seen within 'time'. These
   matching criteria can be used to block brute-force attempts.
***********************************
Applying a Rule-Set to an Interface
***********************************
A Rule-Set can be applied to every interface:
* ``in``: Ruleset for forwarded packets on an inbound interface
* ``out``: Ruleset for forwarded packets on an outbound interface
* ``local``: Ruleset for packets destined for this router
.. cfgcmd:: set firewall interface  [in | out | local] [name |
   ipv6-name] 
   Here are some examples for applying a rule-set to an interface
   .. code-block:: none
      set firewall interface eth1.100 in name LANv4-IN
      set firewall interface eth1.100 out name LANv4-OUT
      set firewall interface bond0 in name LANv4-IN
      set firewall interface vtun1 in name LANv4-IN
      set firewall interface eth2* in name LANv4-IN
   .. note::
      As you can see in the example here, you can assign the same rule-set to
      several interfaces. An interface can only have one rule-set per chain.
   .. note::
      You can use wildcard ``*`` to match a group of interfaces.
