Firewall issues & Shorewall6
[ca] Shadow Hawkins on Thursday, 01 November 2012 16:18:21
Having successfully got my IPv6 subnet up and running, using my RaspberryPi as a gateway I now find myself needing to install a firewall. I followed the instructions for Shorewall6, but as soon as I set it up I find connectivity from any computer on my subnet gets lost, other than the RPi itself. I have played around with the firewall config in rules, zones, interfaces and policy files, but to no avail. It is almost as if there was something else I am missing. Can anyone help. I am not comfortable being without a firewall on my gateway. /etc/shorewall6/interfaces:
#ZONEINTERFACEOPTIONS net tun0 loc eth0
/etc/shorewall6/zones:
#ZONETYPEOPTIONSINOUT #OPTIONSOPTIONS fwfirewall netipv6 locipv6
/etc/shorewall6/policy:
#SOURCEDESTPOLICYLOG LEVELLIMIT:BURST net all REJECT notice loc all ACCEPT fw all ACCEPT all all REJECT notice
/etc/shorewall6/rules:

I bit more digging and I came across entry 78 in the shorewall FAQ. Turns out I need to modify the shorewall6.conf file, so that: Set IP_FORWARDING=On
