Jul 22, 2010I am trying to set up a computer to act as a firewall/gateway on my network, and am using the Firestarter program to do this. Everything appears to be set up correctly, and I followed the instructions on their website completely, and I get an error message when I try to start the firewall. It says that eth0 (my internal NIC) isn't ready, and to make sure it's active.

Fedora Security :: Firestarter Firewall Manager Keeps Crashing After About 5 Minutes. Restarts, Runs For A While, Then Crashes?
Apr 12, 2009Have homebrewed machine, was running Fedora 8. Installed Fedora 10.Firestarter firewall manager keeps crashing after about 5 minutes. Restarts, runs for a while, then crashes.Thought it might be an IPTABLES turf war with the native Fedora 10 gui firewall manager, so disabled that at System > Admin > Firewall. Also disabled SElinux. Still have problems.Firestarter firewall seems to work OK, just the gui Firestarter monitor/manager.If anyone has ideas as to cause, I'll take a clue.I could use Firestarter to generate the IPTABLES by ..manually editing the /etc/firestarter/inbound|outbound/allow-.. files and then../etc/init.d/firestarter restartBut I find the events log useful to look at. Anyone know where the events log file is kept in the file system?
View 4 Replies View RelatedDebian :: How To Use IPtables - Basic Firewall Setup
May 16, 2010Recently I have been working on iptables and trying to understand how to use it. Here's a little script I have written to setup a basic firewall for myself:
Code:
#!/bin/bash
if [ `id -u` -ne 0 ]; then
echo "You need root privilege"
exit 1
fi
PROG=/sbin/iptables
$PROG -F
function sethttp {
echo "Opening http port..."
$PROG -A INPUT -p tcp --dport 80 -j ACCEPT
}
function sethttps {
echo "Opening https port..."
$PROG -A INPUT -p tcp --dport 443 -j ACCEPT
}
function settorrent {
echo "Opening torrent port..."
$PROG -A INPUT -p tcp --dport 52413 -j ACCEPT
}
while getopts "hst" option; do
case "$option" in
h) sethttp;;
s) sethttps;;
t) settorrent;;
*) echo "DOH!"
esac
done
$PROG -A INPUT -m state --state ESTABLISHED,RELATED -j ACCEPT
$PROG -A OUTPUT -m state --state NEW,ESTABLISHED,RELATED -j ACCEPT
$PROG -A INPUT -i lo -j ACCEPT
$PROG -A OUTPUT -o lo -j ACCEPT
$PROG -A INPUT -j DROP
$PROG -A FORWARD -j REJECT
echo "Done setting up the firewall! Enjoy :)"
exit 0
OK, this can take 3 arguments that open ports 80, 443 and 52413. And at the end, some default rules are applied. But here's the thing I don't understand:
if I don't give the argument for port 80, I can still view web pages... and also, when I remove the line:
Code:
$PROG -A INPUT -m state --state ESTABLISHED,RELATED -j ACCEPT
Whether I say it to open port 80 or not, I can't view any web pages.

Jun 10, 2010What is a good IP filter/firewall program? Seeing as how I like free softwares, I download a lot of torrents. When I was using Windows, I used PeerBlock (the newer fork of PeerGuardian), however, it's not available for Linux. What would be a good alternative for this in Linux? I tried iplist as it has a GUI, and it was extremely buggy and blocked random web pages even after I put them on the exceptions list. And MoBlock has no GUI from I understand, nor has it been updated in years.

View 4 Replies View RelatedUbuntu :: Firestarter Removal - Error "zooming Up The Screen Containing Firestarter In It"
Feb 5, 2010I installed firestarter and then at a later date uninstalled/purged it, both actions via synaptic. I have a very verbose boot, I like to see what's going on, and noticed after the uninstall/purge that I was getting an error zooming up the screen containing firestarter in it. After many restarts I found that a file was left in /etc/network/if-up.d/50firestarter and this file was simply a script trying to restart firestarter. At this point I've commented out the calling line and followed the commented line with exit 0. This removes the error but there's still a link calling the file so, is this a bug or am I missing something? It appears the uninstall/purge wasn't entirely complete.

Networking :: Setup Firewall / Sys1 Is Not Connected To Firewall For Testing Purpose?
May 18, 2010I am learning to setup firewall in my home for that i have selected four system(sys1,sys2....sys4) for testing .I have configured sys2 to act as a firewall with two NIC. sys3 and sys4 are inside the firewall . sys1 is not connected to firewall for testing purpose.
the IP assignments are follows :
sys1 : ( fedora, not connected to firewall i am thinking, But i am not sure )
IP : 192.168.2.1 ,
gateway : blank
dns1 : blank
dns2 : blank
sys2 firewall ,IPTABLES )
code....
what happened is that sys1(not connected to firewall) can ssh to sys4(connected,inside firewall),since the rules are written not to ssh form sys1 to sys4..
then I came to know whatever the request I give, It directly goes as sys1 --> sys4. Not as sys1-----> sys2(firewall)---> sys4 .and the firewall is not filtering and processing anything for both inbound and outbound (i think it's my mistake some where). the requests are directly going inside without firewall.
