6 tunnels - Shorewall VPN definition file
7
9 /etc/shorewall[6]/tunnels
10
12 The tunnels file is used to define rules for encapsulated (usually
13 encrypted) traffic to pass between the Shorewall system and a remote
14 gateway. Traffic flowing through the tunnel is handled using the normal
15 zone/policy/rule mechanism. See
16 http://www.shorewall.net/VPNBasics.html[1] for details.
17 The columns in the file are as follows.
19 TYPE -
21 {ipsec[:{noah|ah}]|ipsecnat|ipip|gre|l2tp|pptpclient|pptpserver|?COMMENT|{openvpn|openvpnclient|openvpnserver}[:{tcp|udp}][:port]|generic:protocol[:port]}
22 Types are as follows:
23 6to4 or 6in4 - 6to4 or 6in4 tunnel. The 6in4 synonym was added in 4.4.24.
25 ipsec - IPv4 IPSEC
26 ipsecnat - IPv4 IPSEC with NAT Traversal (UDP port 4500 encapsulation)
27 ipip - IPv4 encapsulated in IPv4 (Protocol 4)
28 gre - Generalized Routing Encapsulation (Protocol 47)
29 l2tp - Layer 2 Tunneling Protocol (UDP port 1701)
30 pptpclient - PPTP Client runs on the firewall
31 pptpserver - PPTP Server runs on the firewall
32 openvpn - OpenVPN in point-to-point mode
33 openvpnclient - OpenVPN client runs on the firewall
34 openvpnserver - OpenVPN server runs on the firewall
35 generic - Other tunnel type
36 tinc - TINC (added in Shorewall 4.6.6)
37 If the type is ipsec, it may be followed by :ah to indicate that
39 the Authentication Headers protocol (51) is used by the tunnel (the
40 default is :noah which means that protocol 51 is not used). NAT
41 traversal is only supported with ESP (protocol 50) so ipsecnat
42 tunnels don't allow the ah option (ipsecnat:noah may be specified
43 but is redundant).
44 If type is openvpn, openvpnclient or openvpnserver it may
46 optionally be followed by ":" and tcp or udp to specify the
47 protocol to be used. If not specified, udp is assumed.
48 If type is openvpn, openvpnclient or openvpnserver it may
50 optionally be followed by ":" and the port number used by the
51 tunnel. if no ":" and port number are included, then the default
52 port of 1194 will be used. . Where both the protocol and port are
53 specified, the protocol must be given first (e.g.,
54 openvpn:tcp:4444).
55 If type is generic, it must be followed by ":" and a protocol name
57 (from /etc/protocols) or a protocol number. If the protocol is tcp
58 or udp (6 or 17), then it may optionally be followed by ":" and a
59 port number.
60 Comments may be attached to Netfilter rules generated from entries
62 in this file through the use of /COMMENT lines. These lines begin
63 with ?COMMENT; the remainder of the line is treated as a comment
64 which is attached to subsequent rules until another ?COMMENT line
65 is found or until the end of the file is reached. To stop adding
66 comments to rules, use a line containing only ?COMMENT.
67 Note
69 Beginning with Shorewall 4.5.11, ?COMMENT is a synonym for
70 COMMENT and is preferred.
71 ZONE - zone
73 The zone of the physical interface through which tunnel traffic
74 passes. This is normally your internet zone.
75 GATEWAY(S) (gateway or gateways) - address-or-range [ , ... ]
77 The IP address of the remote tunnel gateway. If the remote gateway
78 has no fixed address (Road Warrior) then specify the gateway as
79 0.0.0.0/0. May be specified as a network address and if your kernel
80 and iptables include iprange match support then IP address ranges
81 are also allowed.
82 Beginning with Shorewall 4.5.3, a list of addresses or ranges may
84 be given. Exclusion (shorewall-exclusion[2] (5) ) is not supported.
85 GATEWAY ZONES (gateway_zone or gateway_zones) - [zone[,zone]...]
87 Optional. If the gateway system specified in the third column is a
88 standalone host then this column should contain a comma-separated
89 list of the names of the zones that the host might be in. This
90 column only applies to IPSEC tunnels where it enables ISAKMP
91 traffic to flow through the tunnel to the remote gateway(s).

94 IPv4 Example 1:
95 IPSec tunnel.
96 The remote gateway is 4.33.99.124 and the remote subnet is
98 192.168.9.0/24. The tunnel does not use the AH protocol
99 #TYPE ZONE GATEWAY
101 ipsec:noah net 4.33.99.124
102 IPv4 Example 2:
104 Road Warrior (LapTop that may connect from anywhere) where the "gw"
105 zone is used to represent the remote LapTop

116 IPv4 Example 4:
118 Road Warriors that may belong to zones vpn1, vpn2 or vpn3. The
119 FreeS/Wan _updown script will add the host to the appropriate zone
120 using the shorewall add command on connect and will remove the host
121 from the zone at disconnect time.
