[Shorewall-users] Using TC in both IPv4 and IPv6

2014-09-22 Thread jone...@teksavvy.com
Hello, For advanced TC, only tcrules can be different regarding IPv4/IPv6 because tcrules can contain IP addresses. So far, what I observed is that an IPv6 rule must be processed by shorewall6. Which would make sense. What I'm not sure about though, is that the 'IPv6 Support' says that when u

[Shorewall-users] Missing DropSmurfs action file

Hello. Using Shorewall6 4.5.5.3 (Debian) and having the firewall config files in /tmp/shorewall6/ I get: 'ERROR: Missing Action File (/tmp/shorewall6/action.DropSmurfs)'. But I did not ask for any smurf actions to be taken. This is a very simple test firewall. Interfaces has no options declared

Hello, Thanks for your preceeding two replies - much appreciated ! I have three questions regarding running an IPv6 configuration which could surely benefit from your experience, since they are not directly related to Shorewall, but happens when using the IPv6 portion. 1) When shorewall6 is ru

[Shorewall-users] IPv6 NAT support ?

2014-10-02 Thread jone...@teksavvy.com
Hello, Although by its nature IPv6 renders nat obsolete, it seems that in practice many small setups prefers to use NAT instead of an extended (seemingly too complicated) IPv6 proper configuration. I was told that a recent ip6tables now supports NAT. If this is true, will there be also IPv6 NA

[Shorewall-users] Re-ordering of UDP packets with QoS

2014-11-17 Thread jone...@teksavvy.com
Hello, UDP packets are re-ordered when using QoS. QoS is using HTB although as far as I understand it, the output of the HTB is given to SFQs and there a re-ordering can happen. This messes up multimedia streams. Is there a way to configure QoS in Shorewall so that no UDP packet re-ordering i

Hello, Is there support within Shorewall for applying QoS to GRE ? Looks like a popular way of doing that is be the use of a so-called pre-classify option. Is there an equivalent in Linux or, any other way to apply QoS to GRE ? I've read somewhere the following although I"m not sure what is
