Rainer Posted November 27, 2004 Report Share Posted November 27, 2004 (edited) Hi - I'm unsure as to what constitutes a "local" zone in shorewall (for my comp) - after setting the default outbound policy to DROP in /etc/shorewall/policy with: fw net DROP you can then allow basic web surfing by adding this to /etc/shorewall/rules: ACCEPT fw net udp 53 ACCEPT fw net tcp 80 ie you're allowing outbound DNS queries and outbound connections to port 80 - now, this works fine/good and everything's ok - but - what I am unsure about is whether "fw" is definately the correct representation of my local zone (in the above rules), as opposed to say "loc" or "eth0" or a private ip adress like "192.168.0.2". Thanks. Edited December 17, 2004 by Rainer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rainer Posted December 17, 2004 Author Report Share Posted December 17, 2004 After a little reading, and in the context it's in, yes "fw" does seem to represent "my end" after all. (solved) ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
