We have a customized hack of an old firewall-2.4-stronger script we've been using and hacking more features into for years, and I'd still be using it if Fedora hadn't moved to systemd. I can't seem to get it to run /after/ the interfaces are all up so it can determine their IPs as assigned by dhclient. And dhclient won't run the script with its up-hooks, either. Maybe there's a way to get that to work, but if I'm going to be reworking this anyway, I thought I may as well move to The New Firewall System. And now I can't figure out how to do all our little tricks in FirewallD. Maybe I'm missing something, maybe it's just not documented, or maybe it just doesn't work that way. Hopefully you can tell me if there's a way to do all these things or I should go back to the systemd/dhclient/iptables puzzle. There are four interfaces. They used to be eth0-eth3, but NetworkManager has new names for them now. I'll just call them by their meanings/zones: External, Internal, DMZ, and Printers. - No traffic of any sort is allowed between Internal and DMZ or between Printers and External. - Internal and DMZ can both print to and receive status replies from Printers and access the internet through External. - There is a long list of Internal-> External exceptions, blocked IPs that cannot be accessed by some or all Internal IPs, mostly social media sites that are not work-related. This is predominantly http, but the destination and source addresses are the more relevant part. - DMZ->External doesn't discriminate against IPs, but cannot make any outgoing connections on port 25 or any of a list of known file sharing service ports, and other ports may need to be shut down from time to time. - It would be nice if things like outgoing passive-mode FTP could be toggled for DMZ, but that's an enhancement, not a requirement. - Many specific External incoming ports are forwarded to various Internal addresses. Often on different ports than they came in on. Sometimes PPTP and incoming FTP. both passive and active, are required. - ICMP, portscan, and syn-flood limiting on all interfaces with different limits. So... can FirewallD do all that, or something functionally equivalent? If so, how? If not, will it be able to in the near future? -- -Dave Noelle, dave(a)Straylight.org
