Looks good that’s pretty much what I have. 'cept I actually specify ah
and eps for my protocol. Don’t forget not to masquarade outgoing
packates through your vpn. Since I have a net to net connection that is
fairly definate I only allow connections from my trusted hosts.

IPSec rules

[James Miller]

Hello everyone =)

I have reviewed a few posts about how to setup rules to allow IPSec.  I sure
would appreciate a peer review of my rules for IPSec traffic before putting
them into general use.  Of course, this is not my whole rule set, just the
IPSec aspects.  I'm not doing NAT on the inside (we're lucky enough to have
a few class 'C's to use around here).  And for simplicity I'm trusting
roadwarriors and not limiting the source of IPSec traffic.
eth1 = untrusted side
eth0 = trusted side

INPUT:
$IPTABLES -A INPUT -i eth1 -p 50 -j ACCEPT
$IPTABLES -A INPUT -i eth1 -p 51 -j ACCEPT
$IPTABLES -A INPUT -i eth1 -p UDP --dport 500 -j ACCEPT

FORWARD:
$IPTABLES -A FORWARD -i eth0 -o ipsec+ -j ACCEPT
$IPTABLES -A FORWARD -i ipsec+ -o eth0 -j ACCEPT

OUTPUT:
$IPTABLES -A OUTPUT -p 50 -j ACCEPT
$IPTABLES -A OUTPUT -p 51 -j ACCEPT
$IPTABLES -A INPUT -p udp -m udp --dport 500 -j ACCEPT



Thanks everyone,

You can harden this one saying source port has also to be 500.

You can also add output interface using "-o eth1" and specify source
port for last rule.

Matching state is not useful if both sides are likely to initiate IPSEC
tunnel.
