Hi,
I am very new to FreeBSD, and I have a quite simple question: How does IPFW
work when I use PIPES, divert and some other Firewall rules?
What does net.inet.ip.fw.one_pass mean? For instance, if I use a pipe before
a divert with one_pass set to 1, the packet passes through the pipe, but
does not pass through the divert and that makes total sense. However if I
set one_pass to 1 and set the pipe after the divert using the internal IP
address ( RFC 1918 ) it works that does not make any sense, at least to
me. :)
man ipfw gives me:
pipe pipe_nr
Pass packet to a dummynet(4) ``pipe'' (for bandwidth
limitation, delay, etc.). See the TRAFFIC SHAPER (DUMMYNET)
CONFIGURATION Section for further information. The search terminates;
however, on exit from the pipe and if the sysctl(8) variable
net.inet.ip.fw.one_pass is not set, the packet is passed again to the
firewall code starting from the next rule.
Here are some sample rules:
# INTERNAL NETWORK
${fwcmd} pipe 1000 config bw 1024Kbit/s
${fwcmd} pipe 1001 config bw 1024Kbit/s
${fwcmd} add divert natd all from 10.0.0.0/8 to any
${fwcmd} add divert natd all from any to 200.x.x.x
${fwcmd} add pipe 1038 ip from 10.0.0.0/8 to any
${fwcmd} add pipe 1039 ip from any to 10.0.0.0/8
If I set the way above, it works fine, even if the one_pass is set to 1 (
one ). The divert changes the packet header to my external IP, and my real
question is: How in the world the pipe works if the header is changed to
200, instead of 10?
THIS WAY IT DOES NOT WORK WITH ONE_PASS SET TO 1, it passes through the
pipe, but does not pass through the divert:
# INTERNAL NETWORK
${fwcmd} pipe 1000 config bw 1024Kbit/s
${fwcmd} pipe 1001 config bw 1024Kbit/s
${fwcmd} add pipe 1038 ip from 10.0.0.0/8 to any
${fwcmd} add pipe 1039 ip from any to 10.0.0.0/8
${fwcmd} add divert natd all from 10.0.0.0/8 to any
${fwcmd} add divert natd all from any to 200.x.x.x
I deeply appreciate any ideas.
Thats because the packes that meet the pipe rules are also allowed and
thus never meet the divert rule.
