Here is a little background on my network. ppp0 is NOT an internet connection. It is an incoming dial-up connection used only by ME. I trust myself :) As for the actual internet connection, I have a router with an IP of 192.168.254.1 hooked to a T1 set to forward all incoming traffic to this particular box. This box only acts as a router for my own PPP connection. All boxes in the LAN use the router. So, what I am doing, if I understand iptables half as well as I think I do, is forwarding all traffic from my INTERNAL ppp0 interface out to the LAN/internet, allowing any box inside the LAN to connect to this box on any port, only allowing connections from outside the LAN to be made to ports 22, 25, and 80, and allowing in any traffic from outside the LAN that is part of an already established connection.

I'm trying to create a firewall using iptables. I want it to drop
incoming packets except to ports 22, 25, and 80 unless the source
address is 192.168.254.x. I'm asking before I do this because I'm
accessing the computer remotely right now and I don't want to cut myself
off from it. I'm thinking something like:
iptables -A INPUT -s 192.168.254.0/24 -p all -j ACCEPT
iptables -A INPUT -p tcp --dport 22 -j ACCEPT
iptables -A INPUT -p tcp --dport 25 -j ACCEPT
iptables -A INPUT -p tcp --dport 80 -j ACCEPT
iptables -A INPUT -p all -j DROP
-or-
iptables -P INPUT DROP
iptables -A INPUT -s 192.168.254.0/24 -p all -j ACCEPT
iptables -A INPUT -p tcp --dport 22 -j ACCEPT
iptables -A INPUT -p tcp --dport 25 -j ACCEPT
iptables -A INPUT -p tcp --dport 80 -j ACCEPT
Would either of these get me the desired results?
I'd be tempted to add a line of
iptables -A INPUT -m state --state ESTABLISHED,RELATED -j ACCEPT
That way any traffic you initiate from that box will be able to get back
in.
As someone else mentioned, I'd use the option of setting the INPUT policy
to DROP but make sure to set that AFTER you've setup the other rules.
So, it should be:
iptables -A INPUT -s 192.168.254.0/24 -p all -j ACCEPT
iptables -A INPUT -p tcp --dport 22 -j ACCEPT
iptables -A INPUT -p tcp --dport 25 -j ACCEPT
iptables -A INPUT -p tcp --dport 80 -j ACCEPT
iptables -A INPUT -m state --state ESTABLISHED,RELATED -j ACCEPT
iptables -P INPUT DROP
Correct?

I want to allow all traffic to and from ppp0 and masquerade anything from ppp0 out to the LAN/internet through eth0. I want anything incoming connections into eth0 with a source address of 192.168.254.0/24 to be allow through. Anything other incoming connections into eth0 (from the internet) I want to be blocked unless it is for port 22, 25, or 80. ok, when you see ppp0 mentioned it normally means the outgoing connection... the solution is simple: change ppp0 to eth0 and insert at the 5th (or 6th) place this iptables -A INPUT -s 192.168.254.0/24 -p all -j ACCEPT then it should work.

I want it to drop incoming packets except to ports 22, 25, and 80 unless the source address is 192.168.254.x. I'm asking before I do this because I'm accessing the computer remotely right now and I don't want to cut myself off from it. I'm thinking something like: iptables -A INPUT -s 192.168.254.0/24 -p all -j ACCEPT iptables -A INPUT -p tcp --dport 22 -j ACCEPT iptables -A INPUT -p tcp --dport 25 -j ACCEPT iptables -A INPUT -p tcp --dport 80 -j ACCEPT iptables -A INPUT -p all -j DROP -or- iptables -P INPUT DROP iptables -A INPUT -s 192.168.254.0/24 -p all -j ACCEPT iptables -A INPUT -p tcp --dport 22 -j ACCEPT iptables -A INPUT -p tcp --dport 25 -j ACCEPT iptables -A INPUT -p tcp --dport 80 -j ACCEPT Would either of these get me the desired results? I'd be tempted to add a line of iptables -A INPUT -m state --state ESTABLISHED,RELATED -j ACCEPT That way any traffic you initiate from that box will be able to get back in. As someone else mentioned, I'd use the option of setting the INPUT policy to DROP but make sure to set that AFTER you've setup the other rules. So, it should be: iptables -A INPUT -s 192.168.254.0/24 -p all -j ACCEPT iptables -A INPUT -p tcp --dport 22 -j ACCEPT iptables -A INPUT -p tcp --dport 25 -j ACCEPT iptables -A INPUT -p tcp --dport 80 -j ACCEPT iptables -A INPUT -m state --state ESTABLISHED,RELATED -j ACCEPT iptables -P INPUT DROP Correct? -- Andrew Gaffney -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list

With your example, I believe you have ppp0 as the external connection and eth0 acting as the internal connection to the LAN. ppp0 is not the internet connection. eth0 is connected to a router that is connected to a T1. I want to allow all traffic to and from ppp0 and masquerade anything from ppp0 out to the LAN/internet through eth0. I want anything incoming connections into eth0 with a source address of 192.168.254.0/24 to be allow through. Anything other incoming connections into eth0 (from the internet) I want to be blocked unless it is for port 22, 25, or 80. -- Andrew Gaffney -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
Re: [gentoo-user] iptables help
Why hazzle with iptables? I'd rather recommend using shorewall (emerge shorewall). It's much easier to configure and has as lot features you'll probably want.

It's much easier to configure and has as lot features you'll probably want. I'll second that. Shorewall works at a higher level of abstraction - letting you design network zones and policies - rather that dealing with the details of constructing iptables commands. It's very flexible and, after a short learning curve, very powerful and easy to use. Nathan Meyers [EMAIL PROTECTED] Peter Andrew Gaffney wrote: I'm trying to create a firewall using iptables.
