IPv6 Firewall: Penggunaan ufw

Tool konfigurasi firewall yang relatif sederhana di kenal dengan nama UFW (singkatan dari Uncomplicated Firewall).

Instalasi

Instalasi bisa menggunakan perintah

sudo su
sudo apt install ufw

Cek UFW firewall

Cek bisa menggunakan perintah,

 sudo ufw status verbose

Hasil kalau baru di install, kira-kira

Status: inactive

Default-nya UFW firewall biasanya disable.

Enable UFW Firewall

Kita dapat mengaktifkan / meng-enable UFW menggunakan perintah berikut, yang akan me-load firewall dan meng-enable-nya saat boot.

sudo ufw enable

Untuk men-disable UFW firewall, gunakan perintah berikut, yang akan meng-unload firewall dan men-disable-nya saat boot

sudo ufw disable 

UFW Default Policy

Secara default, UFW firewall akan menolak semua connection yang masuk dan hanya akan mengijinkan semua traffic yang keluar (outbound) saja. Ini berarti, semua tidak ada yang bisa akses ke server, kecuali jika kita mengijinkan port tertentu untuk dibuka. Maksudnya, semua layanan / service / aplikasi di server dapat mengakses jaringan di luar.

Default UFW firewall policy di letakan di file /etc/default/ufw dan dapat di ubah menggunakan perintah berikut,

sudo ufw default deny incoming
sudo ufw default allow outgoing

UFW Application Profile

Saat menginstal paket software menggunakan APT package manager, dia akan menambahkan application profile di directory /etc/ufw/applications.d yang mendefinisikan service dan mengatur setting UFW.

Kita dapat membuat daftar semua profil aplikasi yang tersedia di server kita menggunakan perintah berikut.

sudo ufw app list

Bergantung pada penginstalan paket perangkat lunak pada sistem kita, hasilnya akan terlihat seperti berikut:

Available applications:

 APACHE
 APACHE Full
 APACHE SECURE
 CUPS
 OpenSSH
 Postfix
 Postfix SMTPS
 Postfix Submission

Jika kita ingin mendapatkan informasi lebih lanjut tentang profil tertentu dan aturan yang ditetapkan kita dapat menggunakan perintah berikut.

sudo ufw app info 'Apache'

Profile: Apache
Title: Web Server 
Description: Apache V2 is the next generation f the omnipresent Apache web server.

Ports:
  80/tcp

Enable IPv6 pada UFW

Jika server kita menggunakan IPv6, pastikan UFW dikonfigurasi untuk mendukung IPv6 dan IPv4. Untuk memverifikasinya, buka file konfigurasi UFW menggunakan editor favorit Anda.

sudo vi /etc/default/ufw

Kemudian pastikan "IPV6" set "yes" di file konfigurasi seperti yang ditunjukkan.

IPV6=yes

Save dan quit. Kemudian restart firewall dengan perintah berikut:

sudo ufw disable
sudo ufw enable

Allow SSH Connections on UFW

If you’ve enabled UFW firewall by now, it would block all incoming connections and if you are connected to your server over SSH from a remote location, you will no longer able to connect it again.

Let’s enable SSH connections to our server to stop that from happening using the following command:

$ sudo ufw allow ssh

If you are using custom SSH port (for example port 2222), then you need to open that port on UFW firewall using the following command.

$ sudo ufw allow 2222/tcp

To block all SSH connections type the following command.

$ sudo ufw deny ssh/tcp
$ sudo ufw deny 2222/tcp  [If using custom SSH port]

Enable Specific Ports on UFW

You can also open a specific port in the firewall to allow connections via it to a certain service. For example, if you want to setup a web server which listens on port 80 (HTTP) and 443 (HTTPS) by default.

Below are the few examples of how to allow incoming connections to Apache services. Open Port 80 HTTP on UFW

$ sudo ufw allow http     [By service name]
$ sudo ufw allow 80/tcp   [By port number]
$ sudo ufw allow 'Apache' [By application profile]

Open Port 443 HTTPS on UFW

$ sudo ufw allow https
$ sudo ufw allow 443/tcp
$ sudo ufw allow 'Apache Secure'

Allow Port Ranges on UFW

Assuming you have some applications that you want to run on a range of ports (5000-5003), you can add all these ports using following commands.

sudo ufw allow 5000:5003/tcp
sudo ufw allow 5000:5003/udp

Allow Specific IP Addresses

If you want to allow connections on all ports from specific IP address 192.168.56.1, then you need to specify from before the IP address.

$ sudo ufw allow from 192.168.56.1

Allow Specific IP Addresses on Specific Port

To allow connection on a specific port (for example port 22) from your home machine with IP address of 192.168.56.1, then you need to add any port and the port number after the IP address as shown.

$ sudo ufw allow from 192.168.56.1 to any port 22

Allow Network Subnets to Specific Port

To allow connections for particular IP addresses ranging from 192.168.1.1 to 192.168.1.254 to port 22 (SSH), run the following command.

$ sudo ufw allow from 192.168.1.0/24 to any port 22

Allow Specific Network Interface

To allow connections to specific network interface eth2 for a particular port 22 (SSH), run the following command.

$ sudo ufw allow in on eth2 to any port 22

Deny Connections on UFW

By default, all incoming connections are blocked, unless you have specifically open the connection on UFW. For example, you have opened the ports 80 and 443 and your web server is under attack from the unknown network 11.12.13.0/24.

To block all connections from this particular 11.12.13.0/24 network range, you can use the following command.

$ sudo ufw deny from 11.12.13.0/24

If you only want to block connections on ports 80 and 443, you can use the following commands.

$ sudo ufw deny from 11.12.13.0/24 to any port 80
$ sudo ufw deny from 11.12.13.0/24 to any port 443

Delete UFW Rules

There are 2 ways to delete UFW rules, by rule number and by actual rule.

To delete a UFW rules by using rule number, first you need to list rules by numbers using the following command.

$ sudo ufw status numbered

Sample Output

Status: active

     To                         Action      From
     --                         ------      ----
[ 1] 22/tcp                     ALLOW IN    Anywhere
[ 2] 80/tcp                     ALLOW IN    Anywhere

To delete rule number 1, use the following command.

$ sudo ufw delete 1

The second method is to delete a rule by using the actual rule, for example to delete a rule, specify the port number with protocol as shown.

$ sudo ufw delete allow 22/tcp

Dry Run UFW Rules

You can run any ufw commands without actually making any changes in the system firewall using the --dry-run flag, this simply shows the changes that where suppose to happen.

$ sudo ufw --dry-run enable

Reset UFW Firewall

For one reason or the other, if you wish to delete / reset all firewall rules, type the following commands, it will revert all of your changes and start fresh.

$ sudo ufw reset
$ sudo ufw status

UFW Advanced Functionality

The UFW firewall can manage to do anything that iptables does. This can be done with different sets of rules files, which are nothing, but simple iptables-restore text files.

Tuning of UFW firewall or adding additional iptables commands are not permitted via ufw command, is a just matter of altering following text files

/etc/default/ufw: The main configuration file with pre-defined rules.
/etc/ufw/before[6].rules: In this file rules are calculated before adding via ufw command.
/etc/ufw/after[6].rules: In this file rules are calculated after adding via ufw command.
/etc/ufw/sysctl.conf: This file is used to tune kernel network.
/etc/ufw/ufw.conf: This file enable the ufw on boot.

That’s It! UFW is a excellent front-end to iptables with an user friendly interface to define complex rules with a single ufw command.
