Perhaps it would help if I included my entire script? Or at least the

Thanks for any help you can offer.

Why are you not flushing nat table as well?  BTW, the "$IPTABLES -F" 
encompasses all the filter table chains, so the following three flushes 
are redundant.

Why do you have so many (snipped) rules for INPUT to the firewall box 
itself?  Do you really need to allow all ports and all protocols from 
the DMZ and the LAN??  Unless you are running some services on the box 
(which should probably be run on a server on the LAN or in the DMZ) you 
really shouldn't allow ANY access, except SSH if you must.  Other than 
SSH I can't conceive of why you need ANY access to this box from the 
Internet.  Even the EST/REL shouldn't be necessary.

> $IPTABLES -A FORWARD -i $DMZ_IFACE -o $EXT_IFACE -j ACCEPT

This should probably be dropped in favor of individual rules to allow 
each (if any other than DNS) connection that the DMZ machines would need 
to initiate.

> $IPTABLES -A FORWARD -i $LAN_IFACE -j ACCEPT

Do you trust the LAN machines and users this much?  You'd probably be 
much better off if you just have a handful of rules to ACCEPT the 
services they really require.  If someone needs something that doesn't 
get through the firewall, you'll certainly get a call. :^)  You can then 
decide if you want to allow it, and if so then add an appropriate rule.  
On my home network, where I control all machines, I STILL only allow 
four ports through FORWARD, and log everything else.  And my INPUT rules 
are tighter than this, and my firewall IS my desktop machine, web 
server, and an Unreal Tournament server, and runs P2P sometimes.  (Both 
those are toggled through a script, so I open the ports manually with 
"fw ut" for example then close with "fw utx")

> $IPTABLES -A FORWARD -m state --state ESTABLISHED,RELATED -j ACCEPT

This one makes all your other FORWARD state rules rather unnecessary, 
since they are all tighter than this, and this accepts any interface.

> $IPTABLES -A OUTPUT -p ALL -s $EXT_IP -j ACCEPT

Again, what need do you have for this box to communicate directly with 
anything on the internet?  I would lock this sucker down TIGHT.  Set up 
a script owned by root that you can execute to temporarily open INPUT 
and OUTPUT only as far as absolutely necessary if there's anything you 
need to do from the box.  Other than that leave OUTPUT and INPUT at just 
DROP, with SSH allowed in and responded only if you have to.  If 
somebody gets this box, they own your network.  Don't invite trouble.  
(especially now that your complete firewall is part of a publicly 
accessibly archive...)

I'm not sure why you bothered with a DROP policy on OUTPUT with the four 
OUTPUT rules you use.  The ONLY thing you prevent from going out is an 
incorrect IP.

> $IPTABLES -F -t nat

Ah, here's the nat table flush, 2/3 of the way through the script... :^)  
Not a big deal, just that everything else is organized fairly clearly.

Hmmm.  Well, this is the answer to your 'real' question.  I don't see ANY 
rules in PREROUTING to DNAT connections from the LAN. Those would be 
addressed -d $DNS_IP, but would be -i $LAN_IFACE.

You should seriously reconsider what communications the firewall box 
itself requires, and what traffic the LAN is allowed to conduct.

Configuration Questions

[Brad Morgan]

I'm doing some volunteer work for a non-profit client that wants to add a
firewall to the following configuration:

T1 to outside --- Cisco 2600 router --- LAN

The LAN has 3 subnets, a.b.c.d/25, d.e.f.g/25, and just recently 10.0.h.i/16
which is NATed in the Cisco router.  The first two subnets are public IP
addresses.  Although the machines on the LAN have public IP addresses, there
are no "known" public services being offered.

I believe the firewall would be added between the Cisco 2600 router and the
LAN like this:

T1 --- Cisco 2600 --- Firewall --- LAN

The firewall will run RedHat Linux 8.0 with iptables 1.2.6a.

How do you configure the ethernet adapters to pass all the traffic for all
three subnets?

I'm assuming that the router now routes packets between 2 machines in
different subnets on the LAN.  Should the firewall assume this role?

If you can point me to any documents or examples on the web that would help
me understand
how to solve this challenge I would be very grateful!

Regards,

Brad Morgan

RE: DMZ trouble!

[John A. Novak]

Do you have rules that allow traffic to be forwarded from the LAN to the DMZ and back ?

Subject: DMZ trouble!


Hi,

I've recently been working on a firewall using IPtables to create a
DMZ/LAN setup.

I have a system with 3 NIC's. 

eth0 has the "real" static IP's from my ISP. I'm using NAT to translate
from the IP bound on this NIC to the internal DMZ and LAN hosts.
eth1 is set to 172.16.12.1 and is used as the DMZ interface. Hosts
connected to this interface are all 172.16.12.x
eth2 is set to 172.16.11.1 and is used as the LAN interface.Hosts
connected here are all 172.16.11.x

Most things seem to be working, I can connect from the LAN to the DMZ
and to the Internet. I can connect from the DMZ to the Internet, but not
to the LAN, but already established connections work. Only the ports I
specify are open from the Internet to the DMZ.

The problem I'm having is this:

When I try to connect to a host in the DMZ from the LAN, it does not
work when I use the "real" IP address.

An example of the error in the logs is this:
-----
IPT INPUT packet died: IN=eth1 OUT=
MAC=00:10:5a:1b:48:8a:00:10:5a:00:ff:b8:08:00 SRC=172.16.11.2
DST=66.92.171.152 LEN=60 TOS=0x00 PREC=0x00 TTL=64 ID=3514 DF PROTO=TCP
SPT=32949 DPT=80 WINDOW=5440 RES=0x00 SYN URGP=0
----

Does anyone have any idea why this might be happening?

Much thanks.

RE: DMZ trouble!

[David Collodel]

Yes. I've got the following for my generic FORWARD rules:
-----
$IPTABLES -A FORWARD -i $DMZ_IFACE -o $EXT_IFACE -j ACCEPT
$IPTABLES -A FORWARD -i $EXT_IFACE -o $DMZ_IFACE -m state \
--state ESTABLISHED,RELATED -j ACCEPT
$IPTABLES -A FORWARD -i $LAN_IFACE -o $DMZ_IFACE -j KEEP_STATE
$IPTABLES -A FORWARD -i $DMZ_IFACE -o $LAN_IFACE -m state \
--state ESTABLISHED,RELATED -j ACCEPT
-----

DMZ_IFACE = eth1
EXT_IFACE = eth0
LAN_IFACE = eth2

The traffic gets forwarded everywhere if I use the internal IP
addresses. It only seems to have a problem if I try to connect from a
LAN address to a "real" ip that's bound to eth0

something like  172.16.11.2 -> 172.16.12.2  works fine.

However, 172.16.11.2 -> 66.92.171.152  does not work.

66.92.171.152 is bound to eth0, and when someone on the OUTSIDE tries to
connect to it, it gets properly forwarded and NAT'ed to 172.16.12.2

DMZ trouble!

[David Collodel]

Hi,

I've recently been working on a firewall using IPtables to create a

I have a system with 3 NIC's. 

eth0 has the "real" static IP's from my ISP. I'm using NAT to translate

eth2 is set to 172.16.11.1 and is used as the LAN interface.Hosts
connected here are all 172.16.11.x

Most things seem to be working, I can connect from the LAN to the DMZ
and to the Internet. I can connect from the DMZ to the Internet, but not

The problem I'm having is this:

When I try to connect to a host in the DMZ from the LAN, it does not
work when I use the "real" IP address.

An example of the error in the logs is this:
-----
IPT INPUT packet died: IN=eth1 OUT=
MAC=00:10:5a:1b:48:8a:00:10:5a:00:ff:b8:08:00 SRC=172.16.11.2
DST=66.92.171.152 LEN=60 TOS=0x00 PREC=0x00 TTL=64 ID=3514 DF PROTO=TCP
SPT=32949 DPT=80 WINDOW=5440 RES=0x00 SYN URGP=0
----

Does anyone have any idea why this might be happening?

Much thanks.

You have to configure your DNS server so that whenever a request comes
from the internal it should be sent to DMZ.

If from internal you can connect to any of the servers which are there
in the external, then you should also be able to connect to the DMZ
using the external ip. 


And tell me how the connetivity is going on from external to the DMZ?
