Hello,

ipfs (please see https://ipfs.io/) is a very useful peer-to-peer
protocol that attempts to become the next-generation Web (HTTP2). It is
rapidly gaining momentum.

An ipfs node (there is no "server" or "client", each node acts as both)
uses by default the following three ports to communicate with others:


4001 - communication with the rest of nodes in the "swarm" (data flows
and enters on this port via native ipfs protocol)

5001 - API port (commands received by the node)

8080 - HTTP gateway (a HTTP server listens at this port, so another node
can get files from the ipfs swarm via "classic" HTTP protocol)

As far as I know, all ports are TCP only.


Further details at:
https://discuss.ipfs.io/t/how-should-i-configure-my-firewall/471/3


For brevity and clarity of firewall configs, please include appropriate
Shorewall macros for ipfs, naming them appropriately, such as
"ipfs-swarm", "ipfs-api" and "ipfs-gateway".


Thanks a lot!


Best regards,
Răzvan
