Firewalls
Welcome to the Firewall Wiki.
This page is intended to be edited by the community to add use practices, command syntax, etc. regarding firewalling and security on AMPRNet nodes. While each operator is ultimately responsible for the administration of their node, it is highly suggested amongst the 44Net mailing list Community that nodes be firewalled.
Cisco
DD-WRT
DD-WRT uses an iptables-based firewall (see iptables below). Custom rules can be entered at Administration > Commands > "Save Firewall" on the web GUI.
See:
D-Link
On some D-Link devices, the port forwarding feature allows for the options: TCP, UDP and Other. The "Other" option on these models are capable of Destination NAT of IPENCAP packets.
To enable input of IPENCAP (IP Protocol Number 4) Note: this rule is required for other AMPR nodes to initiate inbound traffic to your node.
In Port Forwarding on the web GUI:
- Create a new Port Forward
- Enter the LAN IP of your AMPR node
- Select "Other"
- Type the number 4 into the field
iptables
NOTE:
- On an iptables-based firewall, you must enable connection tracking on the tunl0 interface in order to enable Stateful Packet Inspection (i.e. a stateful firewall).
- Since the IPENCAP Linux Kernel Module IPIP is in the kernel, you must set the default forwarding policy to DROP or REJECT.
- If you set your default routing policy to ACCEPT, all packets that have not been explicitly DROPped or REJECTed elsewhere, will route, regardless of firewall policies.
- For most embedded devices, it is suggested to use ipset rules instead

Dynamic IPENCAP Filtering of AMPR Nodes (using iptables)
To enable dynamic filtering of IPENCAP (IP Protocol Number 4)
NOTE:
- This script needs work, see Thu Jan 10 11:09:27 PST 2019 message in the 44Net mailing list archive. Due to extreme overheard running on many devices, the ipset script is suggested instead.
- This rule (or one of the ipset or static rules below) is required for other AMPR nodes to initiate inbound traffic to your node.
REQUIRED: ampr-ripd (using the -x and -d arguments), the diff command from the diffutils package and the sed command.
# Place this rule a the last firewall command # Uncomment sleep command below if the rule does not appear # as load_ipipfilter.sh is still executing # sleep 10 # load ipipfilter list rule iptables -t filter -I INPUT -p 4 -i <INTERFACE OF WAN> -j ipipfilter

# Delete /tmp/gw when done
rm -f $gwfile
# The full pathname of this script /usr/local/sbin/load_ipipfilter is passed with the new -x
# option to ampr-ripd. It will load the entire filter the first time, and later it will only update
# the filters that have changed. It is required that the -s option is passed as well, so the
# encap.txt file is created by ampr-ripd.
Static IPENCAP Filtering of AMPR Nodes
To enable input of IPENCAP (IP Protocol Number 4)
Note:
- This rule (the dynamic rule above, or the ipset rules) is required for other AMPR nodes to initiate inbound traffic to your node.
iptables -t filter -I INPUT -p 4 -i <INTERFACE OF YOUR WAN> -j ACCEPT
If your AMPR node is downstream, you will create an INPUT and DNAT forward rule to the destination LAN IP of your AMPR node.
To enable receipt of RIP44
iptables -t filter -I INPUT -p udp -s 44.0.0.1 --sport 520 -d 224.0.0.9 --dport 520 -i tunl0 -j ACCEPT

OpenWrt
See: iptables and ipset (above), and the Instructions for setting up a gateway on OpenWRT.
- the Bogon ipset script is added to System > Startup on the web GUI - or into the Unified Configuration Interface (UCI) file /etc/rc.local
- iptables-based scripts are entered at Network > Firewall > Custom Firewall on the LuCI web GUI interface - or into the Unified Configuration Interface (UCI) file /etc/firewall.user
- ipset-based rules are entered on the command line - into the Unified Configuration Interface (UCI) file /etc/config/firewall (OpenWrt syntax must be used in this file!)
