Hello, I''m a very happy user of shorewall but I have found a problem or maybe a misconfiguration I made which I can not resolve. I use a fairly large blacklist based on probes, nimda & codered attacks, proxy & relay probes etc. The only problem is that I want to block incoming trafic on all ports FROM a block but it does also block a httpd, ping etc TO a ip in a block what I do

I''m not subscribed to the users list but I''ve been reading the archives. The OP should NOT try using bridging with either FC 3 or FC 4 at this time because the combination of Netfilter and bridging is currently broken in the kernel''s included with those distros (as reported in another thread on the list). -Tom -- Tom Eastep \ Nothing is foolproof to a sufficiently

How does one interpret the mac addresses in the log which seem to have 14 segments... Example, this appears in the log... 00:40:c7:2e:09:c0:00:01:64:4a:70:00:08:00 Yet I can''t find that in the arp table norcomix:~ # arp -an ? (192.168.2.148) at 00:10:4B:6A:AE:E7 [ether] on eth1 ? (192.168.2.149) at 00:D0:B7:1D:F2:F2 [ether] on eth1 ? (24.237.19.16) at 00:10:DC:67:BA:80 [ether] on eth0 ?

First of all, My apologies for this maybe slight OT post, but I have so much confidence and read so much good replies on this list, that I am still asking my question. I''m looking for a linux distribution to use on our school''s homemade routers. The routers are small miniITX based systems with 2 network interfaces. I added a 4 port D-Link network card in some cases, when I

Since RedHat announced the discontinuence of RedHat Linux, I''ve been diversifying shorewall.net. The systems here now are as follows: a) Firewall -- Debian testing (Installed using the Sarge online installer). b) File Server -- SuSE 9.0 Professional c) Desktop -- Mandrake 9.0 d) Web/Mail -- RedHat 9.0 I think that I will wait until I can afford to build a new

Ok this is admittedly OT, but when you want network advice you go to where network gurus hang... When popping mail from my primary mail server (Linux) from my linux laptop a simple mail check takes 15 seconds to connect when using a wireless nic (802.11g) and 1 second using the hardwired nic. Popping my backup mailserver (also linux) which is sitting RIGHT BESIDE the primary takes one second

Hola and thanks for any help in advance I installed mandrake 9 a few days ago and wanted to set up some additional rules to shorewall, bu i failed :) What i want to do is basicly route any incomming udp and tcp packets on port 4665 to a workstation behind the router. router with mandrake 9, eth0 (192.168.0.1) internal net, eth1(10.0.0.0) connected to dsl modem and gets a dynamic ip

Whilst configuring another shorewall firewall router for another site, I must have made some totally newbie error.... While directly on the cable modem, it works great. But when placed on the LAN side of my existing Shorewall box, the NEW shorwall box could not ping, or look up dns or anything else. If I shutdown shorewall (clear) in the NEW box then it could surf the net and ping etc. When

I''m using shorewall 2.0.x at home as an Internet gateway for family. However my brother always plays online games overnight, so my parents asked whether I can do something on the gateway to control the time of accessing the Internet. I planned to put a script on crontab to schedule which it will execute say at 12:00 night daily, the script will execute a command will deny my brother

Hi, I''m a home user who doesn''t understand the workings of the Shorewall firewall (or the linux OS on which I''ve just installed it) very well. Having just installed Shorewall 1.4.6c with a default "home user" configuration I gave it a run against the online ShieldsUp scan. Main surprise was that the ICMP echo was enabled. I''ve since gone into

The basic functionality of Shorewall 2.2.2 works fine with the soon-to-be-released SuSE 9.3 (I have an early copy). I''ll be trying it over the weekend with more complex configurations involving IPSEC and OpenVPN. -Tom -- Tom Eastep \ Nothing is foolproof to a sufficiently talented fool Shoreline, \ http://shorewall.net Washington USA \ teastep@shorewall.net PGP Public Key \

Happy New Year to everyone: I have followed the instructions at shorewall.net/samba.htm. I''ve restarted the samba server, shorewall, rebooted, everything. And from my network I cannot browse available shares on the firewall (192.168.1.1) telnet 192.168.1.1 138 fails with connection refused, which I don''t understand. All other open ports respond with a string. -- Philip

I am making a new box to test with and was trying to install shorewall via rpm. So I download the shorewall 2.2.5 rpm and issue a rpm -ivh shorewall-2.2.5-1.noarch.rpm. I then get an error: error: Failed dependencies: which is needed by shorewall-2.2.5-1.noarch So as you can see there are no dependency issues. I thought I saw this on the mailing list a while ago but I just searched for it I did
