OpenSUSE Network :: Need For Firewall On Opensuse Web Server
Feb 26, 2010
I have a home network which is protected by a dedicated firewall pc running pfSense. I have an opensuse 11.2 webserver on the home side of the firewall. Is it necessary to run the a firewall or setup iptables on the opensuse box?At some point I intend to port forward through the firewall to the web server so it can be accessed via the internet. Access to the web server will be password protected as its only for myself and my business associates to connect to.

I have a server machine that is running SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 11. I set up a mysql server there. Now I want to access this mysql server from my laptop. I used the following command,
> mysql -h 12.246.5.70 -u davidehs -p
I found if the firewall on the server machine is running, I can not connect the mysql server from my laptop. If I stop the firewall first, and the do the connection, I can access the mysql. how to keep the firewall running and allow the remote mysql incoming requests?

I suspect this is an initial configuration bug. All firewall logs seem to be going to all
three files. That causes a lot of clutter in the log files, and makes it difficult to see whether there are any serious problems being logged.

This morning I was configuring a DNS server through Yast at home, I've done it once before (in another wireless lan)and it works perfectly. But this morning, after I clicked "start dns server now", everything freezed, and caps lock light on keyboard kept flashing. I rebooted laptop,it couldn't boot into run level-5 and there were few "skipped" items and "failed" items displayed.... Sorry I'm new to linux so I re-installed it this afternoon, and kept /home partition, formatted / partition.
Everything seems to be fine after re-installation, again I tried configuring a DNS server and clicked "start dns server now", but the same problem appeared, caps lock light kept flashing and I rebooted the laptop but fortunately this time it didn't fail on any items when booting
In Yast-Network Settings, I choose "use controlled with network manager", and I can connect to wireless router and browsing web, but there are no any interfaces shown in Yast-Firewall, and this time, after I clicked "start dns server now", nothing happens, dns server just won't start...

I have been through the threads here and there and think I have everything set up for the two computers to share files.This a vista64 box to a openSuse 11.2. 11.2 has been updated with the newer samba files.The Vista box has the shares set up. I seem to can't get Samba to see it no matter which settings I give it. It says there is a possible firewall between Opensuse and vista.
Ubuntu 9.10 would see the share with just scanning the stuff but it was extremely slow.I keep looking for insight in the forums for what I am seeing or missing to get around this.I would like to see the speed of the network when I share files, the sneaker net is getting old with the usb drives.

I want some advice for making my system more secure. I want deactivate any network connection that is unnecessary. Only my browser and the update ability of zypper should have access to the internet. On windows there are personal firewalls.
How can I block internetaccess for all other programmes on openSUSE?

I am trying to add a custom allow rule in the firewall for a range of IPs from 74.201.102.0 - 74.201.103.255, what exactly am I supposed to enter in the source box? I believe I have to add two separate rules for 102 and 103, and I put /24 at the end of both, is this correct to get the whole range of IPs?

1. Under openSUSE 11.2, I allowed printer sharing through CUPS by setting the Firewall to Allow Services of CUPS in the External Zone section. I don't see the CUPS option in the Allow Services of the Firewall under 11.4, any zone. Is my system missing something?2. If I turn off the Firewall, the client computer can see the printers, even get the broadcasted names. If I put port 631 in TCP of the Advanced setting of the External Zone, the client computer can see the printer too, but I know I read somewhere that putting 631 in the External Zone is basically allowing printer requests from the entire internet.

switched recently to 11.2 and it works fine for me as workstation I want to set up a router separating a part of the network and also acting as a firewall/proxy... Configured 2 Ethernet Interfaces, checked Ip forwarding in Yast but it does not forward the packets from the "internal" to the "external" network. Hovewer after I set up my router as default for machines on internal network I can ping the external interface but no adress on external network (particularly the one of the default router) !!! From the router I can reach both networks and the net via default gateway on external. Tried to:
a) switch firewall completely off
b) iptables -P FORWARD ACCEPT
c) masquarading internal adresses to the external network
my interfaces configuration looks like:
eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:13:D4:E3:A2:7B
inet addr:192.168.1.34 Bcast:192.168.1.255 Mask:255.255.255.0
inet6 addr: fe80::213:d4ff:fee3:a27b/64 Scope:Link
UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1
[Code].....

We have reason to ask this of you following some strange firewall behaviour - But don't panic If you use openSUSE 11.2 and you think: Your Firewall should be running You are not sure but think it should be check and report back here.
This is how to check:
Go to Yast > Security and Users > Firewall

I'm trying to get OpenMPI (a parallel programming library) working on my home system. I have just two machines on it now, t61 and quad, connected through a router. (Which is also connected to cable modem for internet.) I can ssh between the machnes, mount directories with NFS, etc. However, I just can't get the OpenMPI to run. The OpenMPI message board suggested that the most probable cause is that the firewall is blocking TCP. I don't know how to tell if that's the problem, and can't find any manual for the SuSE firewall, while the various Wikis &c that pop up in a search don't provide any information that addresses my problem.

Ok here's my setup :
SuSE 10.0 X86 32 acting as my internet gateway and firewall.
eth0 is my internal interface network 192.168.0.0/24 IP 192.168.0.254 dsl0 is my internet connection and is a single ip PtP connection to my ISP.
My internal network is masquaraded onto the external network.
I run an smtp server on my gateway box that I need to be accessable to both the internal and external networks.
However I want to prevent machines on the internal network from establishing connections to external smtp servers, but still alow them to connect to the smtp server on the gateway to send email.
NOTE I do not want to force attempts to connect to [URL] 25 to be re-directed to my internal server I just want to drop or reject the connection.
The firewall up until now has just been configured through YaST, but am not afraid to edit script files if needed
The reason for doing this it to prevent spambots from being able to send through my isp, I keep my own machines clean but sometimes get asked to disinfect machines for other people (family members etc), where I need to connect to the outside world to get updates/virus defs etc, but don't want them spamming from my network.

I've setup vnc over ssh tunnelling however the Suse firewall seems to be blocking it. On the local host I have this in ~/.ssh/config:LocalForward localhost:5900 remotehost.com:5900 The problem is that this only works when I either disable the firewall or add an exception for VNC. Both of these actions defeat the whole purpose of ssh tunnelling since they leave my VNC port open to the outside world (very insecure).

I'm in the situation where I'm trying to create 2 private networks using ESX server, all behind a NAT router (static ips are used). I used an openSuse11 vm as a router and was able to configure it so that a machine on one private network was able to access the public network. The problem I have now it that I need to be able to access a machine on the private network from the public network using a different set of IP's.
So if a machine in the private network has an IP of 10.1.0.222 I should be able to ping it using 10.99.0.222 or some other IP. I have never done this before and after reading up on iptables and linux routing I feel more confused than before. Is it possible to add IPs to eth0 (public) and have them mapped to machines on a private network eth1 or eth

I'm looking forward to the release of openSUSE 11.4, which I'm looking to install as an Internet facing gateway on a mini-ITX machine with 2 Ethernet cards. As such I've been reading up on the YaST Firewall trying to find out to configure it, and there's one thing I'd like to be able to do: 'stealth' all the firewall ports.
In other words, if someone were to hypothetically do a port scan of my external IP address, I would rather they not know whether any of the ports on my gateway are open or closed, so instead of replying with the status of those ports the packets get dropped. I've been able to do this with a product called Astaro Security Gateway, which I currently have installed on a second hand Dell Optiplex machine, but I am now looking into the possibility of installing this as a virtual machine inside an openSUSE 11.4 host (extra level of security) and would like the same functionality for the host OS.

How I can refuse an outgoing connection on opensuse firewall by default outbound policy is permissive, and the p2p I explicitly deny an outgoing, according to protocol, remote port and local port.
But I can add rules as how to run opensuse firewall rules are permissive only for inbound traffic and so I can not specifically deny an outgoing connection.
Before using fwbuilder is very powerful and configurable but now I'm with suse for convenience but want to know if you can do what I want, if not I will have to use fwbuilder.

I have done a new install of 11.4 and as with previous versions, I have to go to YAST2 and disable the firewall before I have internet and local network access. Finally I must find out how to do this correctly.
How to I change the default firewall to allow me internet and local network access without disabling it completely? Also I am unclear about the function of Novel Network Armor? What does this do?

I tryed to setup a second IP address with yast on a openSUSE 11.2 on eth0 as eth0:2nd but with a different firewall zone. But SUSE firewall just see eth0.
I want to define with services are available on with IP address. Also with custom rules I can't specify a destination IP.
So now can I do this with yast? Or have I todo this manually without SUSE firewall?

I have a couple of openSUSE 11.2 machines and each is directly connected to the Internet (they are not behind a router, firewall, etc). I want them to be able to communicate without any firewall restrictions, but keep the firewall rules for all other IP addresses. Is this possible? the software package I'm trying to use randomly chooses a port to use in the range of 32768-61000 and I don't feel comfortable having a port range that wide open on both machines.

I have properly configured my router to open a port for Transmission and Vuze. The OpenSuSE firewall settings are somewhat confusing, however. How do I add a port specifically for the BT protocol? I know it's the firewall causing issues, because when I shut it down, my BT apps roar to life, and die with a whimper when I turn it back on. In Ubuntu, opening a port in the router is automatically configured in the firewall; that is apparently not the case with this distro.
So, when I go to Yast Firewall, I see "allowed services" under the tabs available. When I hit that tab, I see a dropdown menu that contains services such as NetBios Server and Samba Server. Am I choosing one of those available and adding a port to it? Am I adding a custom service via the Advanced settings, and if so, why isn't there a way to label the service so that it shows up under allowed services?

I've got my server mostly configured with Samba file shares - I can access from Linux and OSX computers. I've enabled Samba Clietn and Sambar server in the openSUSE firewall settings (on the server), but Windows 7 can't seem to connect. I've been trying to tweak registry keys in Windows and such, but had no luck. However, when I turned off the firewall on the server, I was instantly able to connect. Is there some other service or port I need to open for Windows 7?

I used to have Opensuse 11.0 and Vuze 4.0.2 and both were working great. Recently I upgraded to OpenSuse 11.3 and installed Vuze 4.5.10. I did not change any configuration in the ADSL router but now I could not get the smiley icon to go green. I followed all the steps given here: A Quick Bittorrent Guide (with screenshots). It doesn't work. so I modified FW_ROUTE and FW_MASQUERADE to yes in /etc/sysconfig/SuSefirewall2. That also does not work. What did I miss here? My ADSL router is DSL-2640T.

I setup Mediatomb on another box in my house to connect to with XBMC. XBMC will only connect though if the firewall is off on the local machine. I have both TCP and UCP ports 1900 and 50500 (the port for Mediatomb) enabled on my laptop (local) and the correct ports are open on the remote machine (my wife's vista laptop will connect through XBMC). I can connect to Mediatomb through it's web interface (to set visible folders/files) but not through UPnP (at least not through XBMC)

I am in the process of enabling Samba client and server on my opensuse 11.3 32-bit workstation, and have just looked at the firewall rules (via iptables -L) prior to enabling these applications.I have used iptables a lot before and despite having my network interface defined as being in the External Zone (ie the least trusted, and therefore supposedly the most protected), the first rules in iptables are as follows:
INPUT
target=ACCEPT, prot=all, source=anywhere, dest=anywhere
OUTPUT
