It also supports an interface for services or -applications to add firewall rules directly. +If these commands do not work, FirewallD may not be installed. To install it, type: -The former firewall model with system-config-firewall/lokkit was static -and every change required a complete firewall restart. This included -also to unload the firewall netfilter kernel modules and to load the -modules that are needed for the new configuration. The unload of the -modules was breaking stateful firewalling and established connections. +[source,bash] -The firewall daemon on the other hand manages the firewall dynamically -and applies changes without restarting the whole firewall. Therefore -there is no need to reload all firewall kernel modules.

 ` - -[[the-current-firewalld-features]] -The current firewalld features -~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ - -[[d-bus-interface]] -D-BUS Interface -^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ - -The D-BUS interface gives information about the firewall state and makes -it possible to enable, disable and query firewall settings. - -[[zones]] -Zones -^^^^^ - -A network or firewall zone defines the trust level of the interface used -for a connection. There are several pre-defined zones provided by -firewalld. Zone configuration options and generic file information are -described in the firewalld.zone(5) man page. - -[[services]] -Services -^^^^^^^^ - -A service can be a list of local ports and destinations and additionally -also a list of firewall helper modules automatically loaded if a service -is enabled. The use of predefined services makes it easier for the user -to enable and disable access to a service. Service configuration options -and generic file information are described in the firewalld.service(5) -man page. - -[[icmp-types]] -ICMP types -^^^^^^^^^^ - -The Internet Control Message Protocol (ICMP) is used to exchange -information and also error messages in the Internet Protocol (IP). ICMP -types can be used in firewalld to limit the exchange of these messages. -ICMP type configuration options and generic file information are -described in the firewalld.icmptype(5) man page. - -[[direct-interface]] -Direct interface -^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ - -The direct interface is mainly used by services or applications to add -specific firewall rules. - -[[runtime-configuration]] -Runtime configuration -^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ - -The runtime configuration is not permanent and will only be restored for -a reload. After restart or stop of the service or a system reboot, these -options will be gone. - -[[permanent-configuration]] -Permanent configuration -^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ - -The permanent configuration is stored in config files and will be -restored with every machine boot or service reload or restart. - -[[tray-applet]] -Tray Applet -^^^^^^^^^^^ - -The tray applet *firewall-applet* visualizes the firewall state and also -problems with the firewall for the user. It can also be used to -configure settings by calling *firewall-config*. - -[[graphical-configuration-tool]] -Graphical Configuration Tool -^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ - -The configuration tool *firewall-config* is the main configuration tool -for the firewall daemon. It supports all features of the firewall -besides the direct interface, this is handled by the service/application -that added the rules. - -[[command-line-client]] -Command Line client -^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ - -The command line client *firewall-cmd* supports all firewall features. -For status and query modes, there is no output, but the command returns -the state. - -For offline use there is also *firewall-offline-cmd*. This command line -client is creating firewalld configuration files directly and is not -using firewalld or the D-Bus interface. It is for example used in the -system installation process to create an initial firewall configuration -from the kickstart settings. - -[[support-for-ebtables]] -Support for ebtables -^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ - -ebtables support is needed to fulfill all needs of the libvirt daemon -and to prevent access problems between ip*tables and ebtables on kernel -netfilter level. All these commands are accessing the same structures -and therefore they should not be used at the same time. - -[[defaultfallback-configuration-in-usrlibfirewalld]] -Default/Fallback configuration in /usr/lib/firewalld -^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ - -This directory contains the default and fallback configuration provided -by firewalld for icmptypes, services and zones. The files provided with -the firewalld package should not get changed and the changes are gone -with an update of the firewalld package. Additional icmptypes, services -and zones can be provided with packages or by creating files. - -[[system-configuration-settings-in-etcfirewalld]] -System configuration settings in /etc/firewalld -^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ - -The system or user configuration stored here is either created by the -system administrator or by customization with the configuration -interface of firewalld or by hand. The files will overload the default -configuration files. - -To manually change settings of pre-defined icmptypes, zones or services, -copy the file from the default configuration directory to the -corresponding directory in the system configuration directory and change -it accordingly. - -If you are loading the defaults for a zone that has a default or -fallback file, the file in /etc/firewalld will be renamed to .old and -the fallback will be used again. - -[[work-in-progress-features]] -Work in Progress Features -~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ - -[[rich-language]] -Rich Language -^^^^^^^^^^^^^ - -The rich language provides a high level language to be able to have more -complex firewall rules for IPv4 and IPv6 without the knowledge of -iptables syntax. - -Fedora 19 provides milestone 2 of the rich language with D-Bus and -command line client support. The milestone 3 will also provide support -within firewall-config, the graphical configuration program. - -For more information on this, please have a look at: -https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Features/FirewalldRichLanguage[firewalld -Rich Language] - -[[lockdown]] -Lockdown -^^^^^^^^ - -Lockdown adds a simple configuration setting for firewalld to be able to -lock down configuration changes from local applications or services. It -is a very light version of application policies. - -Fedora 19 provides milestone 2 of the lockdown feature with D-Bus and -command line client support. The milestone 3 will also provide support -within firewall-config, the graphical configuration program. - -For more information on this, please have a look at: -https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Features/FirewalldLockdown[firewalld -Lockdown] - -[[permanent-direct-rules]] -Permanent Direct Rules -^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ - -This feature is in early state. It provides the ability to permanently -save direct rules and chains. Passthorough rules are not part of this. -See link:Direct_options[Direct options] for more information on direct -rules. - -[[migration-from-iptables-and-ebtables-services]] -Migration from ip*tables and ebtables services -^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ - -This feature is in an very early state. It will provide a conversion -script that creates direct permanent rules from the iptables, ip6tables -and ebtables service configurations as far as possible. A limitation -here might be the integration into the direct chains firewalld provides. - -This needs lots of tests at best also from more complex firewall -configurations. - -[[planned-and-proposed-features]] -Planned and Proposed Features -~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ - -[[firewall-abstraction-model]] -Firewall Abstraction Model -^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ - -Adding an abstraction layer on top of ip*tables and ebtables firewall -rules makes adding rules simple and more intuitive. The abstraction -layer needs to be powerful, but also simple, which makes this not an -easy task. A firewall language has to gen invented for this. Firewall -rules have a fixed position and querying generic information about -access state, access policies for ports and other firewall features is -possible. - -[[support-for-conntrack]] -Support for conntrack -^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ - -Conntrack is needed to be able to terminate established connections for -features that get disabled. For some use cases it might not be good to -terminate the connection: Enabling of a firewall service for a limited -time to establish a persistent external connection. - -[[user-interaction-mode]] -User interaction mode -^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ - -This is a special mode of in the firewall the user or admin can enable. -All requests of applications to alter the firewall are directed to the -user to get notified and granted or denied. It is possible to set a time -limit for the acceptance of a connection and to limit it to hosts, -networks or connections. It can be saved to behave the same in the -future without notification. - -An additional feature of this mode is direct external connection -attempts on preselected services or ports to the user with the same -features as the application initiated requests. The limitation on -services and ports will also limit the amount of requests sent to the -user. - -[[user-policy-support]] -User policy support -^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ - -The administrator can define which users are able to use the User -Interaction Mode and can also limit the firewall features, that can be -used with it. - -[[port-metadata-information-proposed-by-lennart-poettering]] -Port metadata information (proposed by Lennart Poettering) -^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ - -To have a port independent metadata information would be good to have. -The current model with a static assignment of ports and protocols from -/etc/services is not a good solution and is not reflecting current use -cases. Ports in applications or services are dynamic and therefore the -port itself does not describe the use case. - -This metadata information could be used to form simple rules for the -firewall. Here are some examples: - -` allow external access to file sharing applications or services` + -` allow external access to music sharing applications or services` + -` allow external access to all sharing applications or services` + -` allow external access to torrent file sharing applications or services` + -` allow external access to http web services` - -The metadata information here could not only be application specific, -but also a group of use cases. For example the "all sharing" group or -the "file sharing" group could match all sharing or file sharing -applications, for example torrent file sharing. These are examples, -therefore it might be that they are not useful. - -There are two possible solutions to get metadata information in the -firewall: - -The first is to add it to netfilter (kernel space). This has the -advantage, that it can be used by everyone, but also limits the use. To -get user or system specific information into account, all these need to -be implemented in kernel space also. - -The other one would be to add this to a firewall daemon. These abstract -rules could be used together with information like the trust level of -the network connections, the user decision to share with as specific -person/host or the hard rule of the administrator to forbid sharing -completely. - -The second solution would have the advantage that new metadata groups or -changes in incorporation of trust levels, user preferences or -administrator rules would not require to push a new kernel. Adding these -kind of abstract rules to a firewall daemon would make it much more -flexible. Even new security levels would be easy to add without kernel -updates. - -[[sysctld]] -sysctld -^^^^^^^ - -At the moment there are sysctl settings that are not properly applied. -This happens if the module providing the setting is not loaded at boot -time when rc.sysinit runs or it the module gets reloaded at runtime. -Another example is net.ipv4.ip_forward, which is needed for example for -specific firewall settings, libvirt and also user/admin changes. If -there are two apps or daemons enabling ip_forwarding only if needed, -then it could happen that one of them is turning it off again without -knowing that there is another one, that still needs it turned on. - -The sysctl daemon could solve this by having an internal use count for -settings, that will make it possible to turn it off or go to the -previous setting again if the requester reverted the request to change -it. - -[[firewall-rules]] -Firewall Rules -~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ - -Netfilter firewalls are always susceptible to rule ordering issues, -because a rule does not have a fixed position in a chain. The position -can change if other rules are added or removed in a position before that -rule. - -In the static firewall model a firewall change is recreating a clean and -sane firewall setup limited to the features directly supported by -system-config-firewall / lokkit. Firewall rules created by other -applications are not integrated and s-c-fw / lokkit does not know about -them if the customs rules file feature is not in use. Default chains are -used and there is no safe way to add and remove rules without -interfering with others. - -The dynamic model has additional chains for the firewall features. These -specific chains are called in a defined ordering and rules added to a -chain could not interfere with reject or drop rules in chains that were -called before. This makes it possible to have a more sane firewall -configuration. - -Here are example rules created by the daemon in the filter table with -ssh, ipp-client and mdns enabled in the public zone, all other zones -have been removed to simplify and shorten the output: - -` *filter` + -` :INPUT ACCEPT [0:0]` + -` :FORWARD ACCEPT [0:0]` + -` :OUTPUT ACCEPT [0:0]` + -` :FORWARD_ZONES - [0:0]` + -` :FORWARD_direct - [0:0]` + -` :INPUT_ZONES - [0:0]` + -` :INPUT_direct - [0:0]` + -` :IN_ZONE_public - [0:0]` + -` :IN_ZONE_public_allow - [0:0]` + -` :IN_ZONE_public_deny - [0:0]` + -` :OUTPUT_direct - [0:0]` + -` -A INPUT -m conntrack --ctstate RELATED,ESTABLISHED -j ACCEPT` + -` -A INPUT -i lo -j ACCEPT` + -` -A INPUT -j INPUT_direct` + -` -A INPUT -j INPUT_ZONES` + -` -A INPUT -p icmp -j ACCEPT` + -` -A INPUT -j REJECT --reject-with icmp-host-prohibited` + -` -A FORWARD -m conntrack --ctstate RELATED,ESTABLISHED -j ACCEPT` + -` -A FORWARD -i lo -j ACCEPT` + -` -A FORWARD -j FORWARD_direct` + -` -A FORWARD -j FORWARD_ZONES` + -` -A FORWARD -p icmp -j ACCEPT` + -` -A FORWARD -j REJECT --reject-with icmp-host-prohibited` + -` -A OUTPUT -j OUTPUT_direct` + -` -A IN_ZONE_public -j IN_ZONE_public_deny` + -` -A IN_ZONE_public -j IN_ZONE_public_allow` + -` -A IN_ZONE_public_allow -p tcp -m tcp --dport 22 -m conntrack --ctstate NEW -j ACCEPT` + -` -A IN_ZONE_public_allow -d 224.0.0.251/32 -p udp -m udp --dport 5353 -m conntrack --ctstate NEW -j ACCEPT` + -` -A IN_ZONE_public_allow -p udp -m udp --dport 631 -m conntrack --ctstate NEW -j ACCEPT` - -Used is a deny/allow model to have a clear behaviour and at best no rule -interferences. Icmp blocks for example will go to the -IN_ZONE_public_deny chain if set for the public zone and will be handled -before the rules in the IN_ZONE_public_allow chain. - -This model makes it more easy to add or remove rules from a specific -block without interfering with accept or drop rules from another block. - -Category:FirewallD -''' - -See a typo, something missing or out of date, or anything else which can be -improved?
