# Ansible Role: Firewall (iptables)
[![Build Status](https://travis-ci.org/geerlingguy/ansible-role-firewall.svg?branch=master)](https://travis-ci.org/geerlingguy/ansible-role-firewall)
Installs an iptables-based firewall for Linux. Supports both IPv4 (`iptables`) and IPv6 (`ip6tables`).
This firewall aims for simplicity over complexity, and only opens a few specific ports for incoming traffic (configurable through Ansible variables). If you have a rudimentary knowledge of `iptables` and/or firewalls in general, this role should be a good starting point for a secure system firewall.
After the role is run, a `firewall` init service will be available on the server. You can use `service firewall [start|stop|restart|status]` to control the firewall.
## Requirements
None.
## Role Variables
Available variables are listed below, along with default values (see `defaults/main.yml`):
firewall_state: started
firewall_enabled_at_boot: true
Controls the state of the firewall service; whether it should be running (`firewall_state`) and/or enabled on system boot (`firewall_enabled_at_boot`).
firewall_allowed_tcp_ports:
- "22"
- "80"
...
firewall_allowed_udp_ports: []
A list of TCP or UDP ports (respectively) to open to incoming traffic.
firewall_forwarded_tcp_ports:
- { src: "22", dest: "2222" }
- { src: "80", dest: "8080" }
firewall_forwarded_udp_ports: []
Forward `src` port to `dest` port, either TCP or UDP (respectively).
firewall_additional_rules: []
firewall_ip6_additional_rules: []
Any additional (custom) rules to be added to the firewall (in the same format you would add them via command line, e.g. `iptables [rule]`/`ip6tables [rule]`). A few examples of how this could be used:
# Allow only the IP 167.89.89.18 to access port 4949 (Munin).
firewall_additional_rules:
- "iptables -A INPUT -p tcp --dport 4949 -s 167.89.89.18 -j ACCEPT"
# Allow only the IP 214.192.48.21 to access port 3306 (MySQL).
firewall_additional_rules:
- "iptables -A INPUT -p tcp --dport 3306 -s 214.192.48.21 -j ACCEPT"
See [Iptables Essentials: Common Firewall Rules and Commands](https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/iptables-essentials-common-firewall-rules-and-commands) for more examples.
firewall_log_dropped_packets: true
Whether to log dropped packets to syslog (messages will be prefixed with "Dropped by firewall: ").
firewall_disable_firewalld: false
firewall_disable_ufw: false
Set to `true` to disable firewalld (installed by default on RHEL/CentOS) or ufw (installed by default on Ubuntu), respectively.
## Dependencies
None.
## Example Playbook
- hosts: server
vars_files:
- vars/main.yml
roles:
- { role: geerlingguy.firewall }
*Inside `vars/main.yml`*:
firewall_allowed_tcp_ports:
- "22"
- "25"
- "80"
## TODO
- Make outgoing ports more configurable.
- Make other firewall features (like logging) configurable.
