NAME

       tunnels - Shorewall6 VPN definition file

SYNOPSIS

       /etc/shorewall6/tunnels

DESCRIPTION

       The tunnels file is used to define rules for encapsulated (usually
       encrypted) traffic to pass between the Shorewall6 system and a remote
       gateway. Traffic flowing through the tunnel is handled using the normal
       zone/policy/rule mechanism. See http://www.shorewall.net/VPNBasics.html
       for details.

       The columns in the file are as follows.

       TYPE -
       {ipsec[:{noah|ah}]|ipsecnat|gre|l2tp|pptpclient|pptpserver|{openvpn|openvpnclient|openvpnserver}[:{tcp|udp}][:port]|generic:protocol[:port]}
           Types are as follows:

                       ipsec         - IPv6 IPSEC
                       ipsecnat      - IPv6 IPSEC with NAT Traversal (UDP port 4500 encapsulation)
                       gre           - Generalized Routing Encapsulation (Protocol 47)
                       l2tp          - Layer 2 Tunneling Protocol (UDP port 1701)
                       openvpn       - OpenVPN in point-to-point mode
                       openvpnclient - OpenVPN client runs on the firewall
                       openvpnserver - OpenVPN server runs on the firewall
                       generic       - Other tunnel type

           If the type is ipsec, it may be followed by :ah to indicate that
           the Authentication Headers protocol (51) is used by the tunnel (the
           default is :noah which means that protocol 51 is not used). NAT
           traversal is only supported with ESP (protocol 50) so ipsecnat
           tunnels don't allow the ah option (ipsecnat:noah may be specified
           but is redundant).

           If type is openvpn, openvpnclient or openvpnserver it may
           optionally be followed by ":" and tcp or udp to specify the
           protocol to be used. If not specified, udp is assumed. Note: At
           this writing, OpenVPN does not support IPv6.

           If type is openvpn, openvpnclient or openvpnserver it may
           optionally be followed by ":" and the port number used by the
           tunnel. if no ":" and port number are included, then the default
           port of 1194 will be used. . Where both the protocol and port are
           specified, the protocol must be given first (e.g.,
           openvpn:tcp:4444).

           If type is generic, it must be followed by ":" and a protocol name
           (from /etc/protocols) or a protocol number. If the protocol is tcp
           or udp (6 or 17), then it may optionally be followed by ":" and a
           port number.

       ZONE - zone
           The zone of the physical interface through which tunnel traffic
           passes. This is normally your internet zone.

       GATEWAY - address-or-range
           The IP address of the remote tunnel gateway. If the remote gateway
           has no fixed address (Road Warrior) then specify the gateway as
           ::/0. May be specified as a network address and if your kernel and
           ip6tables include iprange match support then IP address ranges are
           also allowed.

       GATEWAY ZONES (Optional) - [zone[,zone]...]
           If the gateway system specified in the third column is a standalone
           host then this column should contain a comma-separated list of the
           names of the zones that the host might be in. This column only
           applies to IPSEC tunnels where it enables ISAKMP traffic to flow
           through the tunnel to the remote gateway.

EXAMPLE

       Example 1:
           IPSec tunnel.

           The remote gateway is 2001:cec792b4:1::44. The tunnel does not use
           the AH protocol

                       #TYPE           ZONE    GATEWAY
                       ipsec:noah      net     2002:cec792b4:1::44

       Example 2:
           Road Warrior (LapTop that may connect from anywhere) where the "gw"
           zone is used to represent the remote LapTop

                       #TYPE           ZONE    GATEWAY                 GATEWAY ZONES
                       ipsec           net     ::/0                    gw

       Example 3:
           Host 2001:cec792b4:1::44 is a standalone system connected via an
           ipsec tunnel to the firewall system. The host is in zone gw.

                       #TYPE           ZONE    GATEWAY                 GATEWAY ZONES
                       ipsec           net     2001:cec792b4:1::44     gw

       Example 4:
           OPENVPN tunnel. The remote gateway is 2001:cec792b4:1::44 and
           openvpn uses port 7777.

                       #TYPE           ZONE    GATEWAY                 GATEWAY ZONES
                       openvpn:7777    net     2001:cec792b4:1::44

       Example 8:
           You have a tunnel that is not one of the supported types. Your
           tunnel uses UDP port 4444. The other end of the tunnel is
           2001:cec792b4:1::44.

                       #TYPE            ZONE    GATEWAY                GATEWAY ZONES
                       generic:udp:4444 net     2001:cec792b4:1::44
