Ipv4 firewall 

Protect the router itself

  • work with new with new connections to decrease load on a router;
  • create address-list for IP addresses, that are allowed to access your router;
  • enable ICMP access (optionally);
  • drop everything else, log=yes might be added to log packets that hit the specific rule;

Protect the LAN devices

We will create address-list with name "not_in_internet" which we will use for the firewall filter rules:

Brief firewall filter rule explanation:

  • packets with connection-state=established,related established/related packets are added to FastTrack for faster data throughput, firewall will work with new connections only;
  • drop invalid connection and log them with prefix "invalid";
  • drop attempts to reach not public addresses from your local network, apply address-list=not_in_internet before, bridge1 "bridge" is local network interface, log=yes attempts with prefix "!public_from_LAN";
  • drop incoming packets that are not NATedNAT`ed, ether1 is public interface, log attempts with "!NAT" prefix;
  • jump to ICMP chain to drop unwanted ICMP messages
  • drop incoming packets from the Internet, which are not public IP addresses, ether1 is a public interface, log attempts with prefix "!public";
  • drop packets from LAN that does not have LAN IP, 192.168.88.0/24 is local network used subnet;

IPv6 firewall 

Protect the router itself

Create an address-list from which you allow access to the device:

Code Block
languageros
/ipv6 firewall address-list add address=fd12:672e:6f65:8899::/64 list=allowed

Brief IPv6 firewall filter rule explanation:

...

  • work with new packets, accept established/related packets;
  • drop link-local addresses from Internet(public) interface/interface-list;
  • accept access to a router from link-local addresses, accept multicast addresses for management purposes, accept your source address-list for router access;
  • drop anything else;
Code Block
languageros
/ipv6 firewall filter
add action=accept chain=input comment="allow established and related" connection-state=established,related
add chain=input action=accept protocol=icmpv6 comment="accept ICMPv6"
add chain=input action=accept protocol=udp port=33434-33534 comment="defconf: accept UDP traceroute"
add chain=input action=accept protocol=udp dst-port=546 src-address=fe80::/1610 comment="accept DHCPv6-Client prefix delegation."
add action=drop chain=input in-interface=sit1 log=yes log-prefix=dropLL_from_public src-address=fe80::/1610
add action=accept chain=input comment="allow allowed addresses" src-address-list=allowed
add action=drop chain=input
/ipv6 firewall address-list
add address=fe80::/16 list=allowed
add address=xxxx::/48 list=allowed
add address=ff02::/16 comment=multicast list=allowed
Note

In certain setups where the DHCPv6 relay is used, the src address of the packets may not be from the link-local range. In that case, the src-address parameter of rule #4 must be removed or adjusted to accept the relay address.

Protect the LAN devices

Enabled IPv6 puts your clients available for public networks, set proper firewall to protect your customers.

  • accept established/related and work with new packets;
  • drop invalid packets and put prefix for rules;
  • accept ICMP packets;
  • accept new connection from your clients to the Internet;
  • drop everything else.
