# Ansible Role: Firewall (iptables)
|
|
|
|
[](https://travis-ci.org/geerlingguy/ansible-role-firewall)
|
|
|
|
Installs a simple iptables-based firewall for RHEL/CentOS or Debian/Ubunty systems.
|
|
|
|
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 `vars/main.yml`):
|
|
|
|
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: []
|
|
|
|
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]`).
|
|
|
|
## 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.
