Iptables firewall classic configuration tutorial

When iptables is used to set iptables packet filtering rules, there are several sample actions. if you are familiar with them, you can apply them later, you can enter this world. Observe the following settings: iptables-L-niptablse-tnat-L-n defines the variable FW_IP163.26.197. IptablesSample used
When setting iptables packet filtering rules, there are several sample actions. if you are familiar with them, you can apply them later, you can enter this world.
Observe the current settings
The procedure is as follows:
Iptables-L-n
Iptablse-t nat-L-n
Definition variable
FW_IP = "163.26.197.8"
Enable the core forward function
The procedure is as follows:
###-----------------------------------------------------###
# Enable the forward function
###-----------------------------------------------------###
Echo "1">/proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward
Clear all rules
In the first step, you must clear all rules and start again to prevent the old rules from affecting the new settings. The procedure is as follows:
###-----------------------------------------------------###
# Clear previous settings
###-----------------------------------------------------###
# Clear all rules in the rule chain in the filter of the preset table
Iptables-F
# Clear the rules in the user-defined chain in the filter of the preset table
Iptables-X
# Clear all rules in the rule chain in the mangle table
Iptables-F-t mangle
# Clear the rules in the custom link in the mangle table
Iptables-t mangle-X
# Clear all rules in the rule chain in the nat table
Iptables-F-t nat
# Clear the rules in the user-defined link in the nat table
Iptables-t nat-X
Select preset policies
Next, we need to select different rule chains and the predefined policies. The procedure is as follows:
Default discard all:
###-----------------------------------------------------###
# Set the filter table preset policy
###-----------------------------------------------------###
Iptables-P INPUT DROP
Iptables-P OUTPUT DROP
Iptables-P FORWARD DROP
Or accept all by default:
###-----------------------------------------------------###
# Set the filter table preset policy
###-----------------------------------------------------###
Iptables-P INPUT ACCEPT
Iptables-P OUTPUT ACCEPT
Iptables-P FORWARD ACCEPT
The preset policies of each rule chain can be set independently without being affected by other chains.
In the following example, if the target is DROP, set policy to ACCEPT. if the target is ACCEPT, set policy to DROP to see the effect.
Open an interface
The procedure is as follows:
Iptables-a input-I lo-j ACCEPT
Iptables-a output-o lo-j ACCEPT
Note: The packet flow of IPFW or Netfilter does not pass through the FORWARD Chain,
Therefore, lo serves only the INPUT and OUTPUT chains.
Iptables-a input-I eth1-j ACCEPT
Iptables-a output-o eth1-j ACCEPT
Iptables-a forward-I eth1-jACCEPT
Iptables-a forward-o eth1-jACCEPT
IP camouflage
After the packets in the internal network are disguised, the external eth0 Nic is used as the representative number for external connection. The procedure is as follows:
###-----------------------------------------------------###
# Start internal external address transfer
###-----------------------------------------------------###
Iptables-t nat-a postrouting-o eth0-s 172.16.0.0/16-j SNAT -- to-source $ FW_IP
The preceding command indicates that the network segment 172.16.0.0/16 is disguised as $ FW_IP.
Virtual host
By means of address and port forwarding, packets from the external network can be sent to the servo host in the internal network, which is also known as a virtual host. This method can protect most of the ports of the servo host from external access, and only open public service channels (such as Web Server port 80), so the security is very high.
The procedure is as follows:
###-----------------------------------------------------###
# Start external address translation
###-----------------------------------------------------###
# Anyone connected to $ FW_IP: 80 will be directed to 172.16.255.2: 80
Iptables-t nat-a prerouting-I eth0-ptcp-d $ FW_IP -- dport 80-j DNAT -- to-destination172.16.255.2: 80
Enable the internal host to telnet to the external host
Open the internal network and telnet to the external host.
The procedure is as follows: (the default policy is DROP)
###-----------------------------------------------------###
# Open external host telnet port 23
###-----------------------------------------------------###
Iptables-a output-o eth0-p tcp-s $ FW_IP -- sport 1024: 65535-d any/0 -- dport 23-j ACCEPT
Iptables-a input-I eth0-p tcp! -- Syn-s any/0 -- sport 23-d $ FW_IP -- dport 1024: 65535-j ACCEPT
Mail transfer channel
Open any Mail host to send a packet to your Mail Server, and your MailServer can also send the packet.
The procedure is as follows: (the default policy is DROP)
###-----------------------------------------------------###

# The following is a message that someone else can send to you:
Iptables-a input-I eth0-p tcp-sany/0 -- sport 1024: 65535-d $ FW_IP -- dport 25-j ACCEPT
Iptables-a output-o eth0-p tcp! -- Syn-s $ FW_IP -- sport 25-d any/0 -- dport 1024: 65535-jACCEPT
# You can send emails to others.
Iptables-a output-o eth0-p tcp-s $ FW_IP -- sport 1024: 65535-d any/0 -- dport 25-j ACCEPT
