SHOREWALL6-TUNNELS(5)		[FIXME: manual]		 SHOREWALL6-TUNNELS(5)

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 (where the column name is
       followed by a different name in parentheses, the different name is used
       in the alternate specification syntax).

       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.

	   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.

	       Note
	       Beginning with Shorewall 4.5.11, ?COMMENT is a synonym for
	       COMMENT and is preferred.

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

       GATEWAY(S) (gateway or gateways) - 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.

	   Beginning with Shorewall 4.5.3, a list of addresses or ranges may
	   be given. Exclusion (shorewall6-exclusion[1] (5) ) is not
	   supported.

       GATEWAY ZONE(S) (gateway_zone or gateway_zones) - [zone[,zone]...]
	   Optional. 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(s).

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
