Greetings,
I have a rule in 'iptables' format that I need to put in my rules file of
my shorewall firewall.
It is for a service that is running on my firewall (machine) on the
internal network only
I have two ethernet ports: eno1 for the internet en eno2 for my internal
network (to be clear: a two interface firewall).
The rule:
-A INPUT -i eno2 -p tcp --dport 8843 -j ACCEPT
I am not sure what is correct, because I do not fully understand the
iptables rule, although it seems quit simple. Is that rule for incoming AND
outgoing (situation 1) or only for incoming (situation 2)?
In other words is it situation 1:
ACCEPT loc $FW tcp 8843
ACCEPT $FW loc tcp 8843
Or situation 2:
ACCEPT loc $FW tcp 8843
I THINK it is situation 2, but I am not sure. Could some firewall-god
enlighten me?
Cheers, Wouter
