/* This module enables a simple firewall. The firewall can be customised in arbitrary ways by setting ‘networking.firewall.extraCommands’. For modularity, the firewall uses several chains: - ‘nixos-fw’ is the main chain for input packet processing. - ‘nixos-fw-accept’ is called for accepted packets. If you want additional logging, or want to reject certain packets anyway, you can insert rules at the start of this chain. - ‘nixos-fw-log-refuse’ and ‘nixos-fw-refuse’ are called for refused packets. (The former jumps to the latter after logging the packet.) If you want additional logging, or want to accept certain packets anyway, you can insert rules at the start of this chain. - ‘nixos-fw-rpfilter’ is used as the main chain in the raw table, called from the built-in ‘PREROUTING’ chain. If the kernel supports it and `cfg.checkReversePath` is set this chain will perform a reverse path filter test. - ‘nixos-drop’ is used while reloading the firewall in order to drop all traffic. Since reloading isn't implemented in an atomic way this'll prevent any traffic from leaking through while reloading the firewall. However, if the reloading fails, the ‘firewall-stop’ script will be called which in return will effectively disable the complete firewall (in the default configuration). */ { config, lib, pkgs, ... }: with lib; let cfg = config.networking.firewall; inherit (config.boot.kernelPackages) kernel; kernelHasRPFilter = ((kernel.config.isEnabled or (x: false)) "IP_NF_MATCH_RPFILTER") || (kernel.features.netfilterRPFilter or false); helpers = '' # Helper command to manipulate both the IPv4 and IPv6 tables. ip46tables() { iptables -w "$@" ${optionalString config.networking.enableIPv6 '' ip6tables -w "$@" ''} } ''; writeShScript = name: text: let dir = pkgs.writeScriptBin name '' #! ${pkgs.stdenv.shell} -e ${text} ''; in "${dir}/bin/${name}"; startScript = writeShScript "firewall-start" '' ${helpers} # Flush the old firewall rules. !!!
