#5018 — IPv6 Hardware Firewall

FromMike Mocha <mocha@mailexcite.com>
Date2022-02-09 08:16 +0000
SubjectIPv6 Hardware Firewall
Message-ID<VLKMJ.19775$iK66.8601@fx46.iad>
I noticed something interesting the other day.  If you are a typical home 
user with cable or DSL Internet service, and your provider gives you 
native IPv6 addresses and you desire to firewall the devices on your home 
network; since IPv6 is not using NAT, every device behind your router 
gets a unique IP address, so you basically have to either close down all 
IPv6 ports at the main router, OR open all IPv6 ports at the router, and 
then run a software firewall on each device on the network!  This is not 
practical or possible on many devices (gaming consoles, smart phones, IoT 
devices, etc).

I can prove this by opening and closing the IPv6 firewall settings on my 
provider's router.  It's different with IPv4 of course.  With IPv4, you 
only have one IP address for ALL the devices on your network.  So you can 
setup the firewall to forward specific ports, and then setup services on 
individual devices using those ports.

The point of this post, and my question, is there any consumer grade 
router available that allows you to manage IPv6 ports on a device basis, 
such as by individual IP or MAC address?  There must be, otherwise how 
can devices using IPv6 ever be effectively firewalled?  If you want to 
expose only certain services over IPv6 (SSH for example) on one device in 
your network, how do you do this with consumer grade routers?

It is only a security issue if a service listens on a TCP or UDP port.
If that is the case the problem is not IPv6, nor a missing firewall, it
is the device that runs a software that listens on the TCP/UDP port.

For IPv4 with stateful NAT44, you have to enable a static NAT rule
(called port forwarding). Stateful NAT44 acts like an SPI firewall. If
you additionally operate a firewall, you also need to create a specific
rule there. For IPv6 without NAT, you only need to configure your
firewall, if enabled.

I know that some cable modem routers from Technicolor offer that
possibility. The default is an enabled SPI firewall. You can either
disable it completely or allow certain ports for IPv6 addresses.
The German Fritz devices also support such a firewall.

If you want a secure network, make sure not network services are
running you don't want.
Additionally, you can use a normal hardware firewall that is fully
configurable.

Devices that allow you to control that are seldomly found. Not even
Windows gives this kind of control. Smart TVs, Gaming Consoles etc
don't either.

Name one consumer grade "hardware" firewall, please. I bet it does
things in software still.

Not a useful comment. I run various services for LAN use that I'd not 
want exposed to the world. You can't just turn off nfs, ssh, ntp, etc; 
while some LAN devices like cameras and TV etc can be safely assumed to 
be unchangeably insecure.

MH's comment re fritzbox is useful to know (thank you!): I've been wary 
about dipping a toe into IPV6 precisely because of the risk of service 
exposure. The fritzbox (I have an ISP-supplied one) seems quite a handy 
gizmo, albeit poorly documented in places.

If they don't support ACLs where I can restrict the access to my subnet
I let them only listen on an IPv6 ULA prefix that isn't being routed in
the internet.

Also IPv6 with EUI64 or privacy extension addresses isn't that easy to
guess, so the attacker first need to find out the address of the device
and with a /64 net that is quite a lengthy task.

The AVM Fritzbox can of course do this. It even has sensible default:
Outgoing accepts everything, incoming blocks everything.

Proper IPv4 and IPv6 firewalls look nearly identical (IPv6 addresses are
just longer).  Only real difference is that because you have to to NAT
with IPv4 in addition to the firewall rules, most routers have a
"simplified" user interface (usually "port forwarding" or something to
that effect).  Depending on make/model, you may or may not be able to
set individual NAT/Firewall rules.

In either event, the "IPv4 Port Forwarding" UI does two things:

  1. Set up a new DNAT rule for destination (WAN_IP, Wan Port) gets
      translated to (LAN_IP[,LAN_PORT])
  2. Set up a new firewall rule for destination (LAN_IP[,LAN_PORT])
      ACCEPT


An IPv6 firewall rule merely needs to be setup for
"prefix::abcd:1234,PORT" ACCEPT.

In either event, both firewall inbound chains will (should) look
something like this:

firewall_inbound {
  rule 1 - accept established / related traffic
  rule 2 - drop invalid packets
  rules {3-N} - custom rules ("accept port 80/443 to webserver IP")
  rule 10000 - drop everything else }

But it is not recommended to use it. It creates additional latency and
stateful NAT is a relict from IPv4. If you want the "security" feature
of NAT, use an SPI firewall.

Agreed.

Though a recommendation against something doesn't mean that doesn't 
exist.  If anything, the recommendation against something is supporting 
that it does exist.  }:-)

True.

Though many things create additional latency.

I could argue that TCP is even more of a relic from IPv4.

NAT can be multiple things.  Some of them provide zero security.

A Stateful Packet Inspection firewall is independent of NAT.  SPI /does/ 
provide security.

stateful NAT (regardless if NAT44/NAT64) provides implicit seceurity.
It is like an SPI firewall, without a static NAT rule (port forwarding)
you can't access the devices behind the NAT.

The "Stateful" part of "Stateful NAT" is the firewall sitting
immediately behind DNAT, checking to see if packets have valid states.

No firewall = no security.

"Port forwarding" (as implemented in most,if not all routers) is just a
"quick and dirty NAT+Firewall rule" shortcut...

I disagree.

To me, Stateful Packet Inspection and NAT State are two different 
things.  Especially considering that iptables uses two different 
configurations for SPI and NAT.

Admittedly, the two features may share quite similar dependencies.

When I think of Stateful NAT / Masquerading in Linux, I think of a 
connection table that is populated as packets egress through the router. 
  Said entries contain (at least) the incoming source & destination IP & 
port pair and the outgoing source & destination IP & port pair.  Wherein 
one or more of the source / destination IP and / or port is modified.

So when 192.0.2.3/24 sends a connection to 203.0.113.234, the following 
entry is created as the packet is NATed on it's way out.

1)  Client sends and router receives:  192.0.2.3:45678 / 203.0.113.234

2)  Router creates the following NAT state entry.

IS 192.0.2.3:45678
ID 203.0.113.234:443
OS 198.51.100.200:12345
OD 203.0.113.234:443

{Inside,Outside}{Source,Destination}

3)  Router translates the packet and routes it - sends: 
198.51.100.200:12345 / 203.0.113.234:443

4)  Server receives 198.51.100.200:12345 / 203.0.113.234:443.
5)  Server does it's thing.
6)  Server sends 203.0.113.234:443 / 198.51.100.200:12345
7)  Router receives 203.0.113.234:443 / 198.51.100.200:12345
8)  Router finds a matching NAT state entry.
9)  Router translates the packet and routes it - sends: 
203.0.113.234:443 / 192.0.2.3:45678
A)  Client receives 203.0.113.234:443 / 192.0.2.3:45678

Any traffic coming into 198.51.100.200 that doesn't have an associated 
NAT state entry is simply routed to processes running on the router's 
local TCP/IP stack.

As such, the lack of NAT state entries means that the packet goes to the 
router, where the port is likely closed.  Thus the connection inherently 
stops because there is no place for it to go.

    iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -o ppp0 -j MASQUERADE

or

    iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -o ppp0 -j SNAT --to-source 
198.51.100.200

No additional rule(s) are needed to allow NATed traffic to flow. 
(Presuming that there aren't other rules prohibiting it.)

Conversely, Stateful Packet Inspection tracks the state of connections 
and /explicitly/ takes action based on the connection state.

SPI uses similar connection state information, but for a different 
purpose.  It is also interfaced with a different way.

    iptables -t filter -A INPUT -i ppp0 -m state --state ESTABLISHED -j 
ACCEPT

SPI will depend on other rule(s) or built in chain default policy to 
block traffic.

Both NAT / Masquerade and SPI work equally well with any combination of 
non-globally routed and globally routed IPs.

But, importantly, pure NAT / Masquerade will function without any other 
firewall rules / configuration while blocking connections that aren't in 
the NAT state table.

Does NAT behave similarly to SPI?  Yes.  Is NAT dependent on SPI?  No.

There was a time -- back in early 2.4 kernels -- when you could have NAT 
/ Masquerade support in the kernel without SPI support in the kernel. 
Or vice versa, SPI support in the kernel without NAT / Masquerade 
support in the kernel.

NAT / Masquerade and SPI are really two completely different things in 
the Linux kernel.

Now we delve into what is "port forwarding".

On one level, "port forwarding" is simply a (Destination) NAT rule. 
There is no inherent /requirement/ for any other rules to do DNAT. 
However, there are /usually/ other firewall rules that would match and 
block the DNATed traffic.  As such, there needs to be a rule to allow 
the DNATed traffic through the firewall (nominally the FORWARD chain in 
the filter table).

It's entirely possible to DNAT traffic as it passes through a router 
wherein the firewall wouldn't block it.  E.g. you allow traffic form the 
world (0/0) to your DMZ hosts (198.51.100.0/24).  You implement a DNAT 
rule to alter traffic to your old web server's IP address to go to the 
new web server's IP address.

    # iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -d 192.51.100.200 -j DNAT 
--to-destination 192.51.100.100

Finally, NATing / Masquerading really translate source and / or 
destination IP and or port /before/ the Linux kernel uses traditional 
/routing/ to handle the packet.  Hence why you do DNATing in the 
nat:PREROUTING chain and SNATing in the nat:POSTROUTING chain.

Yes, but an unsolicited packet that doesn't trigger NAT rules can (and
in many cases will) still be forwarded by the router.  Granted, this
isn't likely to happen across the internet[1]; but say between two local
subnets that one is subject to NAT before going upstream (e.g. that
dirty hack I've had to do on occasion because some vendor-supplied
appliance will only ever work as 10.1.1.2, and oh no, you can't change
its IP, what do you mean you'd ever not use 10.1.1.0/8 on your office
LAN ... or ever want to use TWO of these in the same facility?!)

I think it's more a case of we're looking at the same coin from two
different sides (and I wholly agree with the direction you presented in
the bits I snipped).

[1] I'm only refraining from saying it's impossible across the internet,
lest someone come back with contrary examples ;)

Maybe the conversation diverged somewhere, and I hadn't noticed -- I was
under the impression that the phrase "port forwarding" was being used
strictly in the context of general consumer "whole-home-gateway" devices
(either supplied by one's ISP or picked up from AMZN/BestBuy/etc); so
literally the "simplistic" interface that consumers are expecting to 

  (1) Insert any necessary DNAT (and potentially PAT) rule AND
  (2) Insert the corresponding firewall rule in int INPUT chain

Rather than the general sense of the phrase you are presenting in the
bit I snipped out.

This gets into theological discussions / debates about what NAT is and 
is not.

I see no way that Stateless NAT /by/ /itself/ can provide security. 
(Save for potentially only applying to specific source & destination IP 
pairs.  I know you know what I mean here.)

I think that Stateful NAT that dynamically maps between internal and 
external IP(s) & port(s) probably provides some inherent security in the 
fact that incoming connections will fail if there isn't associated NAT 
state data to support the connection.

I'd enjoy such a theological discussion / debate.  But I think it's very 
much it's own independent topic.

I must have a wire crossed somewhere, as I'm fairly certain that it's
more the firewall behind things that keeps unwanted traffic from making
a mess of things, even with conntrack in the mix.

Let's agree to disagree without getting into minutia.

Remember, port forwarding -- which is a thing in IPv6 -- is at it's 
roots NAT.  There are definitely uses for port forwarding in IPv6.
