NAME

       blacklist - Shorewall Blacklist file

SYNOPSIS

       /etc/shorewall/blacklist

DESCRIPTION

       The blacklist file is used to perform static blacklisting by source address (IP or MAC),
       or by application. The use of this file is deprecated and beginning with Shorewall 4.5.7,
       the file is no longer installed.

       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).

       ADDRESS/SUBNET (networks) - {-|~mac-address|ip-address|address-range|+ipset}
           Host address, network address, MAC address, IP address range (if your kernel and
           iptables contain iprange match support) or ipset name prefaced by "+" (if your kernel
           supports ipset match). Exclusion (shorewall-exclusion[1](5)) is supported.

           MAC addresses must be prefixed with "~" and use "-" as a separator.

           Example: ~00-A0-C9-15-39-78

           A dash ("-") in this column means that any source address will match. This is useful
           if you want to blacklist a particular application using entries in the PROTOCOL and
           PORTS columns.

       PROTOCOL (proto) - {-|[!]protocol-number|[!]protocol-name}
           Optional - If specified, must be a protocol number or a protocol name from
           protocols(5).

       PORTS - {-|[!]port-name-or-number[,port-name-or-number]...}
           Optional - may only be specified if the protocol is TCP (6) or UDP (17). A
           comma-separated list of destination port numbers or service names from services(5).

       OPTIONS - {-|{dst|src|whitelist|audit}[,...]}
           Optional - added in 4.4.12. If specified, indicates whether traffic from
           ADDRESS/SUBNET (src) or traffic to ADDRESS/SUBNET (dst) should be blacklisted. The
           default is src. If the ADDRESS/SUBNET column is empty, then this column has no effect
           on the generated rule.

               Note
               In Shorewall 4.4.12, the keywords from and to were used in place of src and dst
               respectively. Blacklisting was still restricted to traffic arriving on an
               interface that has the 'blacklist' option set. So to block traffic from your local
               network to an internet host, you had to specify blacklist on your internal
               interface in shorewall-interfaces[2] (5).

               Note
               Beginning with Shorewall 4.4.13, entries are applied based on the blacklist
               setting in shorewall-zones[3](5):

                1. 'blacklist' in the OPTIONS or IN_OPTIONS column. Traffic from this zone is
                   passed against the entries in this file that have the src option (specified or
                   defaulted).

                2. 'blacklist' in the OPTIONS or OUT_OPTIONS column. Traffic to this zone is
                   passed against the entries in this file that have the dst option.
           In Shorewall 4.4.20, the whitelist option was added. When whitelist is specified,
           packets/connections that match the entry are not matched against the remaining entries
           in the file.

           The audit option was also added in 4.4.20 and causes packets matching the entry to be
           audited. The audit option may not be specified in whitelist entries and require
           AUDIT_TARGET support in the kernel and iptables.

EXAMPLE

       Example 1:
           To block DNS queries from address 192.0.2.126:

                       #ADDRESS/SUBNET         PROTOCOL        PORT
                       192.0.2.126             udp             53

       Example 2:
           To block some of the nuisance applications:

                       #ADDRESS/SUBNET         PROTOCOL        PORT
                       -                       udp             1024:1033,1434
                       -                       tcp             57,1433,1434,2401,2745,3127,3306,3410,4899,5554,6101,8081,9898
