                        A SECOND LIFE FOR THE LINKSYS Part 3
                        Drilling holes in the IPv6 Firewall
                        By Michiel van der Vlist, 2:280/5555


     Last year I wrote two articles on how to set up an old Linksys WRT54GL
     as a router for IPv6. If you missed it last year's Fidonews 31 and 32,
     you can download them at:
     http://www.vlist.org/downloads/fidonews/2011/ And probably from the
     editor's system as well.

     In these articles I described how to configure the Linksys as the end
     point of a 6in4 tunnel and how to route an Ipv6 subnet to the LAN,
     thereby providing IPv6 connectivity for the machines on the LAN. I
     also described how to configure the Ipv4 NAT to forward ports to
     specific host. For example for a web server or a binkp server. What
     the articles did not cover is how to do the equivalent for IPv6. I had
     not figured That out myself then. I have now, so here is my report.

     First, forget about what is written on the subject in the OpenWrt
     wiki. The method described there does not work.

     Second, we have to understand that the mechanism for making a server
     on your LAN available to the outside world is different for IPv4 and
     IPv6. In IPv4 all machines on the LAN share one globally routeable
     IPv4 address. The LAN is behind a NAT that translates to and from the
     internal IP address on the LAN.

     Without specific instructions the router does not know where to send
     an unsollicited incoming packet and so it is dropped. A NAT has the
     side effect of acting as a statefull firewall. To make a server
     available one instructs the NAT to forward the port number for the
     server to the internal address of the server.

     In IPv6 there is no NAT. Every machine has - or at least can have -
     its own unique globally routeable IPv6 address. There is no need to
     tell the router where to send an unsollicited incoming packet. It
     already knows because the packet has the unique address of the
     destination.

     Some say the absence of NAT in IPv6 is a security risk because every
     machine is directly connected to the internet. But that is only true
     for routers that lack a firewall. Technically it is perfectly OK to
     have a router without a firewall. Then one needs to do nothing to
     allow unsollicited incoming packets. each machine on the LAN will need
     its own firewall.

     The version of OpenWrt that this is all about does have an IPv6
     firewall though and by default it is configured to reject all
     unsollicited incoming packets. So we need not worry about machines
     exposed to the internet. Unless of course we make a configuration
     error.
     FIDONEWS 29-09               Page 3                   27 Feb 2012


     In IPv6 we are more flexible in what we allow or disallow than in
     IPv4. In IPv4 we forward a specific port to a specific destination.
     Most routers are limited to doing just that. So only protocols that
     use ports can be forwarded. And usually it is limited to tcp and udp.
     It is not possible for example to forward a ping.

     In IPv6 we make an opening in the firewall for a specific destination.
     We can add additional restrictions, such as port numbers or protocols,
     but we need not. So we are not limited to protocols that use port
     numbers as tcp and udp.

     We can also allow ICMP that does not use port numbers.

     Changes to the firewall are made by editing the file
     /etc/config/firewall

     Here is how to make the machine with address 2001:DB8::2462 pingable
     from outside. We ONLY want to make it pingable, no more. So we
     restrict the protocol to ICMP and the type to echo request.

     Add the following lines to /ect/config/firewall:

     [code]

     # Allow ping6ing a specific host on the LAN

     config  rule
             option  src     wan
             option  dest    lan
             option  family  ipv6
             option  proto   icmp
             option  icmp_type echo-request
             option  dest_ip 2001:DB8::2462
             option  target  ACCEPT

     [/code]

     If you have an IPv6 connection and want to see it work, you can ping6
     my RIPE Atlas probe at atlas.vlist.eu.

     For a binkp server we only want to allow what is needed to make that
     work, So we restrict to port 24554 and protocol tcp.

     [code]

     # A binkp server on the Fido machine

     config  rule
             option  src        wan
             option  dest       lan
             option  family     ipv6
             option  src-dport  24554
             option  proto      tcp
             option  dest_ip    2001:DB8::f1d0:2:280:5555
             option  target     ACCEPT

     [/code]


     Note that changes made to the firewall configuration do not take
     effect until the firewall is restarted. Either by rebooting the router
     or by executing the following command: /etc/init.d/firewall restart


     Enjoy.

                An erratum.
                By Michiel van der Vlist, 2:280/5555


     Last week I wrote that 50 of the Ripe atlas probe hosters had made
     their probes public. This is an error, the correct figure is 850.

                            How to Submit an Article

     If you wish to submit an article for inclusion in the Fidonews, here
     are some guidelines, if you send it as an attached file; the preferred
     method if you want reasonable control over how the published article
     will appear in the Fidonews:

     a) Plain ASCII text. If you could type it on your keyboard, it's
        probably quite OK. No line may be longer than 70 characters.

     b) Put a title to the article. Put the title in two times. The first
        time, on the first line, with an * before it. The second time, on
        the second line, without the * and centered. This will help in the
        format since the title with the * is removed and used in the index,
        the second line will become the headline. On the third line, put
        your name and FidoNet address, present or former. If former, you
        may want to add some other address where you can be reached for
        personal comments.

     c) Deadline for article submission is Sunday, 22:00 UTC.

     Help the Editor by following the above guides. Below are some subjects
     and the file extension for the article as set in the configuration
     file for the making of the Fidonews. Please help by putting the file
     extension of the correct subject on the file name if known.

     Ideas for Subject areas:

         Subject                  File |      Subject                 File

      Best of Fidonet            *.bof |  Letters to the Editor      *.let

     If you don't know or are not sure, send the article anyway. Put a .TXT
     on it and I'll try to figure out where it should be in the Fidonews.

     If you follow these simple guidelines, there should be little problem
     in getting your article published. If your submission is too far out
     of specs for the Fidonews, it will be returned to you and/or a message
     sent informing you of the problem. This DOES NOT mean that your
     article is not accepted. It means that there is something in it that I
     can not fix and I need your help on it.

     IMPORTANT! If you send the article via e-mail, make sure you put the
                word "fidonews" somewhere in the subject line! That way it
                will always pass the spam filter, ending up in the proper
                folder.

     Please include a message, telling me that you have sent an article.
     That way I will know to look for it.
