The Shoreline Firewall, more commonly known as "Shorewall", is a high-level tool for configuring Netfilter.

You describe your firewall/gateway requirements using entries in a set of configuration files. Shorewall reads those configuration files and with the help of the iptables utility, Shorewall configures Netfilter to match your requirements.

Shorewall can be used on a dedicated firewall system, a multi-function gateway/router/server or on a standalone GNU/Linux system. Shorewall does not use Netfilter's ipchains compatibility mode and can thus take advantage of Netfilter's connection state tracking capabilities.

Installation

Install the shorewallAUR or shorewall6AUR package.

Configuration

Note: If you use systemd for logging set LOGFILE="systemd" in /etc/shorewall/shorewall.conf for the shorewall show command to work. [1]

These settings are based on the two-interface documentation on the Shorewall web site.

Use some example configuration files that come with the shorewall package

# cp /usr/share/doc/shorewall/Samples/one-interface/* /etc/shorewall/     # If you have a desktop-type system with a single network interface
# cp /usr/share/doc/shorewall6/Samples6/one-interface/* /etc/shorewall6/  # If you have a desktop-type system with a single network interface, pkg shorewall6
# cp /usr/share/doc/shorewall/Samples/two-interfaces/* /etc/shorewall/    # If you have a router with two network interfaces
# cp /usr/share/doc/shorewall/Samples/three-interfaces/* /etc/shorewall/  # If you have a router with three network interfaces

/etc/shorewall/interfaces

Change the interface settings to match the names used for our Ethernet devices and to allow DHCP traffic on the local network. Edit /etc/shorewall/interfaces

original

net     eth0          dhcp,tcpflags,nosmurfs,routefilter,logmartians
loc     eth1          tcpflags,nosmurfs,routefilter,logmartians

loc     lan          dhcp,tcpflags,nosmurfs,routefilter,logmartians

/etc/shorewall/policy

Change the policy file to allow the router (this machine) to access the Internet. Edit /etc/shorewall/policy

/etc/shorewall/rules

DNS look-ups are handled (actually forwarded) by dnsmasq, so Shorewall needs to allow those connections. Add these lines to /etc/shorewall/rules

#       Accept DNS connections from the local network to the firewall
#
DNS(ACCEPT)     loc              $FW

/etc/shorewall/masq

Note:

As of version 5.0.14, /etc/shorewall/masq has been deprecated in favor of /etc/shorewall/snat. Add the following line to /etc/shorewall/snat instead of modifying masq.

MASQUERADE        192.168.1.0/24        eth0

Change the network interface to the one connected to your external (WAN) network and change the IP to the one used in your local network.

eth0        192.168.1.0/24

SSH

OPTIONAL: You can add these lines to /etc/shorewall/rules if you want to be able to SSH into the router from computers on the Internet

#       Accept SSH connections from the internet for administration
#
SSH(ACCEPT)     net             $FW         TCP      <SSH port used>

Port forwarding (DNAT)

  • /etc/shorewall/rules : here is an example for a webserver on our LAN with IP 10.0.0.85. You can reach it on port 5000 of our "external" IP.
DNAT        net        loc:10.0.0.85:80        tcp        5000

/etc/shorewall/stoppedrules

If you have a network name other than eth1 for the network interface in /etc/shorewall/interfaces, you need to update stoppedrules with the correct name.

/etc/shorewall/shorewall.conf

When you are finished making above changes, enable shorewall by a change in its configuration file /etc/shorewall/shorewall.conf:

original

STARTUP_ENABLED=No

new

STARTUP_ENABLED=Yes

See shorewall.conf(5) for more information.

Start

Start/enable shorewall.service.

Traffic shaping

Read Shorewall's Traffic Shaping/Control guide.

Here is a configuration as an example:

  • /etc/shorewall/tcdevices : here is where you define the interface you want to have shaped and its rates. I have got a ADSL connection with a 4MBit down/256KBit up profile.
ppp0        4mbit        256kbit 
  • /etc/shorewall/tcclasses : here you define the minimum (rate) and maximum (ceil) throughput per class. You will assign each one to a type of traffic to shape.
# interactive traffic (ssh)
ppp0            1       full    full    0
# online gaming
ppp0            2       full/2  full    5
# http
ppp0            3       full/4  full    10
# rest
ppp0            4       full/6  full    15              default
  • /etc/shorewall/tcrules : this file contains the types of traffic and the class it belongs to.
1       0.0.0.0/0       0.0.0.0/0       tcp     ssh
2       0.0.0.0/0       0.0.0.0/0       udp     27000:28000
3       0.0.0.0/0       0.0.0.0/0       tcp     http
3       0.0.0.0/0       0.0.0.0/0       tcp     https

I have split it up my traffic in 4 groups:

  1. interactive traffic or ssh: although it takes up almost no bandwidth, it is very annoying if it lags due to leechers on the LAN. This gets the highest priority.
  2. online gaming: needless to say you cannot play when your ping sucks. ;)
  3. webtraffic: can be a bit slower
  4. everything else: every sort of download, they are the cause of the lag anyway.
