SHOREWALL-MASQ(5)					     SHOREWALL-MASQ(5)

NAME
       masq - Shorewall Masquerade/SNAT definition file

SYNOPSIS
       /etc/shorewall/masq

DESCRIPTION
       Use this file to define dynamic NAT (Masquerading) and to define Source
       NAT (SNAT).

       Warning
       The entries in this file are order-sensitive. The first entry that
       matches a particular connection will be the one that is used.

       Warning
       If you have more than one ISP link, adding entries to this file will
       not force connections to go out through a particular link. You must use
       entries in shorewall-route_rules[1](5) or PREROUTING entries in
       shorewall-tcrules[2](5) to do that.

       The columns in the file are as follows.

       INTERFACE -
       {[+]interfacelist[:[digit]][:[address[,address]...[exclusion]]|COMMENT}
	   Outgoing interfacelist. This may be a comma-separated list of
	   interface names. This is usually your internet interface. If
	   ADD_SNAT_ALIASES=Yes in shorewall.conf[3](5), you may add ":" and a
	   digit to indicate that you want the alias added with that name
	   (e.g., eth0:0). This will allow the alias to be displayed with
	   ifconfig.  That is the only use for the alias name; it may not
	   appear in any other place in your Shorewall configuration.

	   Each interface must match an entry in shorewall-interfaces[4](5).
	   Shorewall allows loose matches to wildcard entries in
	   shorewall-interfaces[4](5). For example, ppp0 in this file will
	   match a shorewall-interfaces[4](5) entry that defines ppp+.

	   Where more that one internet provider share a single interface[5],
	   the provider is specified by including the provider name or number
	   in parentheses:

		       eth0(Avvanta)
	   In that case, you will want to specify the interfaces´s address for
	   that provider in the ADDRESS column.

	   The interface may be qualified by adding the character ":" followed
	   by a comma-separated list of destination host or subnet addresses
	   to indicate that you only want to change the source IP address for
	   packets being sent to those particular destinations. Exclusion is
	   allowed (see shorewall-exclusion[6](5)).

	   If you wish to inhibit the action of ADD_SNAT_ALIASES for this
	   entry then include the ":" but omit the digit:

		       eth0(Avvanta):
		       eth2::192.0.2.32/27
	   Normally Masq/SNAT rules are evaluated after those for one-to-one
	   NAT (defined in shorewall-nat[7](5)). If you want the rule to be
	   applied before one-to-one NAT rules, prefix the interface name with
	   "+":

		       +eth0
		       +eth0:192.0.2.32/27
		       +eth0:2
	   This feature should only be required if you need to insert rules in
	   this file that preempt entries in shorewall-nat[7](5).

	   Comments may be attached to Netfilter rules generated from entries
	   in this file through the use of COMMENT lines. These lines begin
	   with the word COMMENT; the remainder of the line is treated as a
	   comment which is attached to subsequent rules until another COMMENT
	   line is found or until the end of the file is reached. To stop
	   adding comments to rules, use a line with only the word COMMENT.

       SOURCE (Formerly called SUBNET) -
       {interface[:exclusion]|address[,address][exclusion]}
	   Set of hosts that you wish to masquerade. You can specify this as
	   an address (net or host) or as an interface (use of an interface is
	   deprecated). If you give the name of an interface, the interface
	   must be up before you start the firewall and the Shorewall rules
	   compiler will warn you of that fact. (Shorewall will use your main
	   routing table to determine the appropriate addresses to
	   masquerade).

	   In order to exclude a address of the specified SOURCE, you may
	   append an exclusion ("!" and a comma-separated list of IP addresses
	   (host or net) that you wish to exclude (see
	   shorewall-exclusion[6](5))). Note that a colon (":") must appear
	   between an interface name and the exclusion;

	   Example: eth1:!192.168.1.4,192.168.32.0/27

	   In that example traffic from eth1 would be masqueraded unless it
	   came from 192.168.1.4 or 196.168.32.0/27

       ADDRESS (Optional) -
       [-|NONAT|[address-or-address-range[,address-or-address-range]...][:lowport-highport][:random][:persistent]|detect|random]
	   If you specify an address here, SNAT will be used and this will be
	   the source address. If ADD_SNAT_ALIASES is set to Yes or yes in
	   shorewall.conf[3](5) then Shorewall will automatically add this
	   address to the INTERFACE named in the first column.

	   You may also specify a range of up to 256 IP addresses if you want
	   the SNAT address to be assigned from that range in a round-robin
	   fashion by connection. The range is specified by
	   first.ip.in.range-last.ip.in.range. You may follow the port range
	   with :random in which case assignment of ports from the list will
	   be random.  random may also be specified by itself in this column
	   in which case random local port assignments are made for the
	   outgoing connections.

	   Example: 206.124.146.177-206.124.146.180

	   You may follow the port range (or :random) with :persistent. This
	   is only useful when an address range is specified and causes a
	   client to be given the same source/destination IP pair. This
	   feature replaces the SAME modifier which was removed from Shorewall
	   in version 4.4.0. Unlike random, persistent may not be used by
	   itself.

	   You may also use the special value "detect" which causes Shorewall
	   to determine the IP addresses configured on the interface named in
	   the INTERFACES column and substitute them in this column.

	   Finally, you may also specify a comma-separated list of ranges
	   and/or addresses in this column.

	   This column may not contain DNS Names.

	   Normally, Netfilter will attempt to retain the source port number.
	   You may cause netfilter to remap the source port by following an
	   address or range (if any) by ":" and a port range with the format
	   lowport-highport. If this is done, you must specify "tcp" or "udp"
	   in the PROTO column.

	   Examples:

		       192.0.2.4:5000-6000
		       :4000-5000
	   If you simply place NONAT in this column, no rewriting of the
	   source IP address or port number will be performed. This is useful
	   if you want particular traffic to be exempt from the entries that
	   follow in the file.

	   If you want to leave this column empty but you need to specify the
	   next column then place a hyphen ("-") here.

       PROTO (Optional) - {-|[!]protocol-name|[!]protocol-number}
	   If you wish to restrict this entry to a particular protocol then
	   enter the protocol name (from protocols(5)) or number here.

       PORT(S) (Optional) - [[!]port-name-or-number[,port-name-or-number]...]
	   If the PROTO column specifies TCP (6), UDP (17), DCCP (33), SCTP
	   (132) or UDPLITE (136) then you may list one or more port numbers
	   (or names from services(5)) separated by commas or you may list a
	   single port range (lowport:highport).

	   Where a comma-separated list is given, your kernel and iptables
	   must have multiport match support and a maximum of 15 ports may be
	   listed.

       IPSEC (Optional) - [option[,option]...]
	   If you specify a value other than "-" in this column, you must be
	   running kernel 2.6 and your kernel and iptables must include policy
	   match support.

	   Comma-separated list of options from the following. Only packets
	   that will be encrypted via an SA that matches these options will
	   have their source address changed.

	   reqid=number
	       where number is specified using setkey(8) using the
	       ´unique:number option for the SPD level.

	   spi=<number>
	       where number is the SPI of the SA used to encrypt/decrypt
	       packets.

	   proto=ah|esp|ipcomp
	       IPSEC Encapsulation Protocol

	   mss=number
	       sets the MSS field in TCP packets

	   mode=transport|tunnel
	       IPSEC mode

	   tunnel-src=address[/mask]
	       only available with mode=tunnel

	   tunnel-dst=address[/mask]
	       only available with mode=tunnel

	   strict
	       Means that packets must match all rules.

	   next
	       Separates rules; can only be used with strict

       MARK - [!]value[/mask][:C]
	   Defines a test on the existing packet or connection mark. The rule
	   will match only if the test returns true.

	   If you don´t want to define a test but need to specify anything in
	   the following columns, place a "-" in this field.

	   !
	       Inverts the test (not equal)

	   value
	       Value of the packet or connection mark.

	   mask
	       A mask to be applied to the mark before testing.

	   :C
	       Designates a connection mark. If omitted, the packet mark´s
	       value is tested.

       USER/GROUP (Optional) -
       [!][user-name-or-number][:group-name-or-number][+program-name]
	   Only locally-generated connections will match if this column is
	   non-empty.

	   When this column is non-empty, the rule matches only if the program
	   generating the output is running under the effective user and/or
	   group specified (or is NOT running under that id if "!" is given).

	   Examples:

	   joe
	       program must be run by joe

	   :kids
	       program must be run by a member of the ´kids´ group

	   !:kids
	       program must not be run by a member of the ´kids´ group

	   +upnpd
	       #program named upnpd

	       Important
	       The ability to specify a program name was removed from
	       Netfilter in kernel version 2.6.14.

EXAMPLES
       Example 1:
	   You have a simple masquerading setup where eth0 connects to a DSL
	   or cable modem and eth1 connects to your local network with subnet
	   192.168.0.0/24.

	   Your entry in the file can be either:

		       #INTERFACE   SOURCE
		       eth0	    eth1
	   or

		       #INTERFACE   SOURCE
		       eth0    192.168.0.0/24

       Example 2:
	   You add a router to your local network to connect subnet
	   192.168.1.0/24 which you also want to masquerade. You then add a
	   second entry for eth0 to this file:

		       #INTERFACE   SOURCE
		       eth0	    192.168.1.0/24

       Example 3:
	   You have an IPSEC tunnel through ipsec0 and you want to masquerade
	   packets coming from 192.168.1.0/24 but only if these packets are
	   destined for hosts in 10.1.1.0/24:

		       #INTERFACE	       SOURCE
		       ipsec0:10.1.1.0/24      196.168.1.0/24

       Example 4:
	   You want all outgoing traffic from 192.168.1.0/24 through eth0 to
	   use source address 206.124.146.176 which is NOT the primary address
	   of eth0. You want 206.124.146.176 to be added to eth0 with name
	   eth0:0.

		       #INTERFACE	       SOURCE	       ADDRESS
		       eth0:0		       192.168.1.0/24  206.124.146.176

       Example 5:
	   You want all outgoing SMTP traffic entering the firewall on eth1 to
	   be sent from eth0 with source IP address 206.124.146.177. You want
	   all other outgoing traffic from eth1 to be sent from eth0 with
	   source IP address 206.124.146.176.

		       #INTERFACE   SOURCE  ADDRESS	    PROTO   PORT(S)
		       eth0	    eth1    206.124.146.177 tcp	    smtp
		       eth0	    eth1    206.124.146.176

	   Warning
	   The order of the above two rules is significant!
