Description:
joes firewall (joefw) is a simple and easy framework of files to
manage a firewall-policy with Linux iptables.
Its _not_ another big single iptables-script with a ready to run
policy. You should have a basic understanding of networking to use
this.
Mainly it consists of a simple interpreter-script and a set of files
which builds the firewall-policy. The big advantage is the combination
of small files with simple rules (typically one rule for one service)
with the connection tracking which makes it easy to build a policy for
complex services.
For example you need FTP from you internal net with private adresses
to the internet, then you simple add this rule to the file
\"int-ext\":
# allow ftp from intern net to extern
-A $R -j New -i $INT_IF -o $EXT_IF -p tcp --syn --dport ftp
Complete sample-policy with connection tracking and four interfaces
(intern, extern, dmz, ipsec-vpn) is included.
Other Software Required:
Linux Kernel 2.4, iptables, bash
