.Sh DESCRIPTION
To ease configuration, rules can be put into a file which is
processed using
.Nm
as shown in the first synopsis line.
An absolute
.Ar pathname
must be used.
The file
will be read line by line and applied as arguments to the
.Nm
utility.
.Pp
Optionally, a preprocessor can be specified using
.Fl p Ar preproc
where
.Ar pathname
is to be piped through.
Useful preprocessors include
.Xr cpp 1
and
.Xr m4 1 .
If
.Ar preproc
doesn't start with a slash
.Pq Ql /
as its first character, the usual
.Ev PATH
name search is performed.
Care should be taken with this in environments where not all
file systems are mounted (yet) by the time
.Nm
is being run (e.g. when they are mounted over NFS).
Once
.Fl p
has been specified, optional
.Fl D
and
.Fl U
specifications can follow and will be passed on to the preprocessor.
This allows for flexible configuration files (like conditionalizing
them on the local hostname) and the use of macros to centralize
frequently required arguments like IP addresses.
.Pp
The
.Nm
code works by going through the rule-list for each packet,
until a match is found.
All rules have two associated counters, a packet count and
a byte count.
These counters are updated when a packet matches the rule.
.Pp
The rules are ordered by a
.Dq line-number
from 1 to 65534 that is used
to order and delete rules.
Rules are tried in increasing order, and the
first rule that matches a packet applies.
Multiple rules may share the same number and apply in
the order in which they were added.
.Pp
If a rule is added without a number, it is numbered 100 higher
than the previous rule.
If the highest defined rule number is
greater than 65434, new rules are appended to the last rule.
.Pp
The delete operation deletes the first rule with number
.Ar number ,
if any.
.Pp
The list command prints out the current rule set.
.Pp
The show command is equivalent to `ip6fw -a list'.
.Pp
The zero operation zeroes the counters associated with rule number
.Ar number .
.Pp
The flush operation removes all rules.
.Pp
Any command beginning with a
.Sq # ,
or being all blank, is ignored.
.Pp
One rule is always present:
.Bd -literal -offset center
65535 deny all from any to any
.Ed
.Pp
This rule is the default policy, i.e., don't allow anything at all.
Your job in setting up rules is to modify this policy to match your
needs.
.Pp
The following options are available:
.Bl -tag -width flag
.It Fl a
While listing, show counter values.  See also
.Dq show
command.
.It Fl f
Don't ask for confirmation for commands that can cause problems if misused
(ie; flush).
.Ar Note ,
if there is no tty associated with the process, this is implied.
.It Fl q
While adding, zeroing or flushing, be quiet about actions (implies '-f').
This is useful for adjusting rules by executing multiple ip6fw commands in a
script (e.g. sh /etc/rc.firewall), or by processing a file of many ip6fw rules,
across a remote login session.  If a flush is performed in normal
(verbose) mode, it prints a message.  Because all rules are flushed, the
message cannot be delivered to the login session, the login session is
closed and the remainder of the ruleset is not processed.  Access to the
console is required to recover.
.It Fl t
While listing, show last match timestamp.
.It Fl N
Try to resolve addresses and service names in output.
.El
.Pp
.Ar action :
.Bl -hang -offset flag -width 16n
.It Ar allow
Allow packets that match rule.
The search terminates.
Aliases are
.Ar pass ,
.Ar permit ,
and
.Ar accept .
.It Ar deny
Discard packets that match this rule.
The search terminates.
.Ar Drop
is an alias for
.Ar deny .
.It Ar reject
(Deprecated.) Discard packets that match this rule, and try to send an ICMPv6
host unreachable notice.
The search terminates.
.It Ar unreach code
Discard packets that match this rule, and try to send an ICMPv6
unreachable notice with code
.Ar code ,
where
.Ar code
is a number from zero to 255, or one of these aliases:
.Ar noroute ,
.Ar admin ,
.Ar notneighbor ,
.Ar addr ,
or
.Ar noport ,
The search terminates.
.It Ar reset
TCP packets only.
Discard packets that match this rule,
and try to send a TCP reset (RST) notice.
The search terminates
.Em ( "not working yet" ) .
.It Ar count
Update counters for all packets that match rule.
The search continues with the next rule.
.It Ar skipto number
Skip all subsequent rules numbered less than
.Ar number .
The search continues with the first rule numbered
.Ar number
or higher.
.El
.Pp
If the kernel was compiled with
.Dv IPV6FIREWALL_VERBOSE ,
then when a packet matches a rule with the
.Dq log
keyword or a clear/resetlog is performed, a message will be logged to
.Xr syslogd 8 ,
or, if that fails, to the console.  If the kernel was compiled with the
.Dv IPV6FIREWALL_VERBOSE_LIMIT
option, then logging will cease after the number of packets
specified by the option are received for that particular
chain entry.
When this limit is reached, the limit and rule number will be logged.
Logging may then be re-enabled by clearing
the packet counter for that entry.
.Pp
The
.Xr syslogd 8
logging and the default log limit are adjustable dynamically through the
.Xr sysctl 8
interface.
.Pp
.Ar proto :
.Bl -hang -offset flag -width 16n
.It Ar ipv6
All packets match.
The alias
.Ar all
has the same effect.
.It Ar tcp
Only TCP packets match.
.It Ar udp
Only UDP packets match.
.It Ar ipv6-icmp
Only ICMPv6 packets match.
.It Ar <number|name>
Only packets for the specified protocol matches (see
.Pa /etc/protocols
for a complete list).
.El
.Pp
.Ar src
and
.Ar dst :
.Bl -hang -offset flag
.It Ar <address/prefixlen>
.Op Ar ports
.El
.Pp
The
.Em <address/prefixlen>
may be specified as:
.Bl -hang -offset flag -width 16n
.It Ar ipv6no
An ipv6number of the form
.Li fec0::1:2:3:4 .
.It Ar ipv6no/prefixlen
An ipv6number with a prefix length of the form
.Li fec0::1:2:3:4/112 .
.El
.Pp
The sense of the match can be inverted by preceding an address with the
.Dq not
modifier, causing all other addresses to be matched instead.
This
does not affect the selection of port numbers.
.Pp
With the TCP and UDP protocols, optional
.Em ports
may be specified as:
.Pp
.Bl -hang -offset flag
.It Ns {port|port-port} Ns Op ,port Ns Op ,...
.El
.Pp
Service names (from
.Pa /etc/services )
may be used instead of numeric port values.
A range may only be specified as the first value,
and the length of the port list is limited to
.Dv IPV6_FW_MAX_PORTS
(as defined in
.Pa /usr/src/sys/net/ip6fw/ip6_fw.h )
ports.
.Pp
Fragmented packets which have a non-zero offset (i.e. not the first
fragment) will never match a rule which has one or more port
specifications.  See the
.Ar frag
option for details on matching fragmented packets.
.Pp
Rules can apply to packets when they are incoming, or outgoing, or both.
The
.Ar in
keyword indicates the rule should only match incoming packets.
The
.Ar out
keyword indicates the rule should only match outgoing packets.
.Pp
To match packets going through a certain interface, specify
the interface using
.Ar via :
.Bl -hang -offset flag -width 16n
.It Ar via ifX
Packet must be going through interface
.Ar ifX .
.It Ar via if*
Packet must be going through interface
.Ar ifX ,
where X is any unit number.
.It Ar via any
Packet must be going through
.Em some
interface.
.It Ar via ipv6no
Packet must be going through the interface having IPv6 address
.Ar ipv6no .
.El
.Pp
The
.Ar via
keyword causes the interface to always be checked.
If
.Ar recv
or
.Ar xmit
is used instead of
.Ar via ,
then the only receive or transmit interface (respectively) is checked.
By specifying both, it is possible to match packets based on both receive
and transmit interface, e.g.:
.Pp
.Dl "ip6fw add 100 deny ip from any to any out recv ed0 xmit ed1"
.Pp
The
.Ar recv
interface can be tested on either incoming or outgoing packets, while the
.Ar xmit
interface can only be tested on outgoing packets.
So
.Ar out
is required (and
.Ar in
invalid) whenever
.Ar xmit
is used.
Specifying
.Ar via
together with
.Ar xmit
or
.Ar recv
is invalid.
.Pp
A packet may not have a receive or transmit interface: packets originating
from the local host have no receive interface. while packets destined for
the local host have no transmit interface.
.Pp
Additional
.Ar options :
.Bl -hang -offset flag -width 16n
.It frag
Matches if the packet is a fragment and this is not the first fragment
of the datagram.
.Ar frag
may not be used in conjunction with either
.Ar tcpflags
or TCP/UDP port specifications.
.It in
Matches if this packet was on the way in.
.It out
Matches if this packet was on the way out.
.It ipv6options Ar spec
Matches if the IPv6 header contains the comma separated list of
options specified in
.Ar spec .
The supported IPv6 options are:
.Ar hopopt
(hop-by-hop options header),
.Ar route
(routing header),
.Ar frag
(fragment header),
.Ar esp
(encapsulating security payload),
.Ar ah
(authentication header),
.Ar nonxt
(no next header), and
.Ar opts
(destination options header).
The absence of a particular option may be denoted
with a
.Dq \&!
.Em ( "not working yet" ) .
.It established
Matches packets that have the RST or ACK bits set.
TCP packets only.
.It setup
Matches packets that have the SYN bit set but no ACK bit.
TCP packets only.
.It tcpflags Ar spec
Matches if the TCP header contains the comma separated list of
flags specified in
.Ar spec .
The supported TCP flags are:
.Ar fin ,
.Ar syn ,
.Ar rst ,
.Ar psh ,
.Ar ack ,
and
.Ar urg .
The absence of a particular flag may be denoted
with a
.Dq \&! .
A rule which contains a
.Ar tcpflags
specification can never match a fragmented packet which has
a non-zero offset.  See the
.Ar frag
option for details on matching fragmented packets.
.It icmptypes Ar types
Matches if the ICMPv6 type is in the list
.Ar types .
The list may be specified as any combination of ranges
or individual types separated by commas.
.El
.Sh CHECKLIST
Here are some important points to consider when designing your
rules:
.Bl -bullet -offset flag
.It
Remember that you filter both packets going in and out.
Most connections need packets going in both directions.
.It
Remember to test very carefully.
It is a good idea to be near the console when doing this.
.It
Don't forget the loopback interface.
.El
.Sh FINE POINTS
There is one kind of packet that the firewall will always discard,
that is an IPv6 fragment with a fragment offset of one.
This is a valid packet, but it only has one use, to try to circumvent
firewalls.
.Pp
If you are logged in over a network, loading the KLD version of
.Nm
is probably not as straightforward as you would think
.Em ( "not supported" ) .
I recommend this command line:
.Bd -literal -offset center
kldload /modules/ip6fw_mod.o && \e
ip6fw add 32000 allow all from any to any
.Ed
.Pp
Along the same lines, doing an
.Bd -literal -offset center
ip6fw flush
.Ed
.Pp
in similar surroundings is also a bad idea.
.Sh PACKET DIVERSION
not supported.
.Sh EXAMPLES
This command adds an entry which denies all tcp packets from
.Em hacker.evil.org
to the telnet port of
.Em wolf.tambov.su
from being forwarded by the host:
.Pp
.Dl ip6fw add deny tcp from hacker.evil.org to wolf.tambov.su 23
.Pp
This one disallows any connection from the entire hackers network to
my host:
.Pp
.Dl ip6fw add deny all from fec0::123:45:67:0/112 to my.host.org
.Pp
Here is a good usage of the list command to see accounting records
and timestamp information:
.Pp
.Dl ip6fw -at l
.Pp
or in short form without timestamps:
.Pp
.Dl ip6fw -a l
