IPFW and IPv6 wrong syntax

M

minimike

Hi there,

Just for understanding could anybody correct my wrong rules for IPv6 with IPFW on FreeBSD 8 stable?

Code: 
ipfw -f add 23 allow ip6 tcp from any to fe80::210:18ff:fe33:6bb8 22 in
ipfw -f add 24 allow ip6 tcp from fe80::210:18ff:fe33:6bb8 to any 22 out

(the addresses are faked about security reasons)
 
Hi, I think in this rule should be ipv6 instead of ip6. I will give you another example, for a rule which allow all IPv6 packets through the firewall.
Code: 
ipfw -f add 23 allow [B][color="Red"]ipv6[/color][/B] tcp from any to fe80::210:18ff:fe33:6bb8 22 in

If you still have problems, please read the perfect description for ipfw's manual and of course ipfw(8). You can also try for example apply some sysctl options; net.inet6.ip6.fw.enable: 1 which is responsible for "enables the firewall. Setting this variable to 0 lets you run your machine without firewall even if compiled in. Also provides the same functionality ... for the IPv6 case". Best regards!

According to the RusDyr allegations described below; probably you're right, I do not use ipfw firewall for a very long time, so I should not give any advice on this topic. Best regards!
 
Very strange idea to give hints, that's not approved or tested by himself, don't you think so?
ipv6 and ip6 directives are both allowed, there is no difference at all.
What's really the problem is setting IP protocol and IPv4 protocol together.
So while ipfw developers don't change this (I agree with you, it's QUITE STRANGE behavior), you could you instead of yours

Incorrect IPFW:
Code: 
ipfw -f add 23 allow ip6 tcp from any to fe80::210:18ff:fe33:6bb8 22 in
ipfw -f add 24 allow ip6 tcp from fe80::210:18ff:fe33:6bb8 to any 22 out
this one:
Correct IPFW:
Code: 
ipfw -f add 23 allow tcp from any to fe80::210:18ff:fe33:6bb8 22 in
ipfw -f add 24 allow tcp from fe80::210:18ff:fe33:6bb8 to any 22 out

It will work.
 
After long and thoroughly reading "man ipfw" I found best solution. :)
Forget old format, it's obsolete and is only for backward compatibility:
The rule body has the following format:

[proto from src to dst] [options]

The first part (proto from src to dst) is for backward compatibility with
earlier versions of FreeBSD. In modern FreeBSD any match pattern
(including MAC headers, IP protocols, addresses and ports) can be speci-
fied in the options section.
Click to expand...

So all you need is setting your protocol options AFTER your rule, this way:
New format IPFW:
Code: 
ipfw -f add 23 allow ip6 from any to fe80::210:18ff:fe33:6bb8 22 in proto tcp
ipfw -f add 24 allow ip6 from fe80::210:18ff:fe33:6bb8 to any 22 out proto tcp

Or even:
Code: 
ipfw -f add 23 allow ip6 from any to any proto tcp dst-ip6 fe80::210:18ff:fe33:6bb8 dst-port 22 in
ipfw -f add 24 allow ip6 from any to any proto tcp src-ip6 fe80::210:18ff:fe33:6bb8 src-port 22 out

Enjoy! ;)
 
Though it's not displayed in the example below I've tried your solution but it doesn't seem to work on v11? Help me out here guys what am I doing wrong? I only want to be able to use SSH over IPV6. Thanks
