Understanding what a firewall is and how it works:<\/span><\/strong><\/h2>\r\nA firewall is network security software that monitors your network’s incoming and outgoing traffic. In simple words, This is an intermediary system between the device and the internet. Thus, the barrier is placed between the safe and unsafe place. The safe place is your private network and the unsafe place is the internet. This way, a firewall not only eliminates unwanted network communication but also prevents your server from malicious attacks.<\/span>\r\n

Why is it necessary to enable a firewall for my Linux system?<\/span><\/strong><\/h2>\r\nIf you have a Linux machine, you\u00a0<\/span>are\u00a0<\/span><\/em>guaranteed a certain level of security by default, courtesy of the amazing Linux developer community. Linux systems are generally immune to most viruses and other threats that many other operating systems succumb to. But with the increase in the volume, variety, and intensity of cyber threats today, configuring a Linux firewall is quite a necessity.<\/span>\r\n

Steps to configure a firewall in Linux manually:<\/span><\/strong><\/h2>\r\n

Step 1: Up your Linux Security<\/span><\/strong><\/h3>\r\nIt is equally important to make sure your Linux system is up to date with the latest security updates installed, as well as, your operating system version is also up to date.<\/span>\r\n\r\nWith Ubuntu\/Debian Linux distribution,\u00a0<\/span>\u2018iptables\u2019<\/span><\/em>\u00a0is pre-installed. However, CentOS 7 and onwards replaces iptables with\u00a0<\/span>FirewallD<\/span><\/strong><\/a>\u00a0as the default firewall management tool.<\/span>\r\n\r\nNote: If you are comfortable with iptables, you can continue using it, but make sure you disable FirewallD in your CentOS before installing iptables.\u00a0<\/span><\/em>\r\n

Step 2: Configuring IPTABLES:<\/span><\/strong><\/h3>\r\niptables is a command-line firewall utility program that allows filtering traffic. The iptables tool decides which packets can come in and go out based on the rules it is configured to follow. It uses policy chains to allow or block the traffic. There are three types of policy chains:<\/span>\r\n\r\nChains are a set of rules defined for a particular task.<\/span><\/em>\r\n\r\nWe have three chains(set of rules) that are used to process the traffic:-<\/span>\r\n\r\n\u25cf\u00a0<\/span>INPUT Chains<\/span><\/strong>: Any traffic from the internet(network) towards your local machine has to go through the input chains. That means they have to go through all the rules that have been set up in the Input chain.<\/span>\r\n\r\n\u25cf\u00a0<\/span>OUTPUT Chains<\/span><\/strong>: Any traffic going from your local machine to the internet needs to go through the output chains.<\/span>\r\n\r\n\u25cf\u00a0<\/span>FORWARD Chains<\/span><\/strong>: used for packets that aren\u2019t being delivered locally, i.e. packets routed via the server<\/span>\r\n
Different Policies:-<\/span><\/strong><\/h5>\r\nThere are three actions which the iptables can perform on the traffic<\/span>\r\n
1. ACCEPT<\/span><\/strong><\/h5>\r\nWhen traffic passes the rules in its specified chain, the iptable accepts the traffic. That means it opens up the gate and allows the person to go inside the kingdom of Thanos.<\/span>\r\n
2. DROP<\/span><\/strong><\/h5>\r\nWhen the traffic cannot pass the rules in its specified chain, the iptable blocks that traffic, which means the firewall is closed.<\/span>\r\n
3. REJECT<\/span><\/strong><\/h5>\r\nThis type of action is similar to the drop action, but it sends a message to the traffic sender stating that the data transfer has failed.<\/span>\r\n\r\nGenerally, use REJECT when you want the other end to know the port is unreachable\u2019. Use DROP for connections to hosts you don\u2019t want people to see.<\/span>\r\n\r\niptables usually comes pre-installed with your Linux. However, if it is missing,\u00a0<\/span>you can install it<\/span><\/em>\u00a0using the following command:<\/span>\r\n\r\nDifferent OS flavours use different installation commands<\/span><\/em>\r\n\r\nsudo apt-get install iptables<\/span><\/strong>\r\n\r\niptables installation on\u00a0<\/span>Ubuntu\/Debian Systems:<\/span><\/strong>\u00a0<\/span>\r\n\r\nsudo yum install iptables-services<\/span>\r\n\r\niptables installation on\u00a0<\/span>Enterprise Linux OS like CentOS<\/span><\/strong>\r\n\r\nTo<\/span>\u00a0check the default configuration<\/span><\/strong>, run the following command:<\/span>\r\n\r\nsudo iptables \u2013 L<\/span>\r\n\r\nto check the configuration on\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0Ubuntu\/Debian Systems<\/span><\/strong>\r\n\r\nsudo iptables -nvL<\/span>\r\n\r\n\u00a0to check the configuration on\u00a0<\/span>Linux OS like CentOS<\/span><\/strong>\u00a0<\/span>\r\n\r\nTo flush all the pre-configured rules<\/span><\/strong>, run the following command:<\/span>\r\n\r\niptables \u2013 F<\/span>\r\n\r\nTo clear the firewall rules<\/span>\r\n\r\nTo start the iptables service in CentOS<\/span><\/strong>, run the following command:<\/span>\r\n\r\nsudo systemctl start iptables<\/span>\r\n\r\nstart iptables on Centos<\/span>\r\n\r\nTo enable iptables in CentOs,\u00a0<\/span><\/strong>run the following command:<\/span>\r\n\r\nsudo systemctl enable iptables<\/span>\r\n\r\nenable iptables on Centos<\/span>\r\n

STEP 3:\u00a0BLOCK COMMANDS:<\/strong><\/h3>\r\n
To block\/drop connections for a particular IP address<\/span><\/strong>:<\/span><\/h5>\r\niptables -A INPUT -s xx.xx.xx.xx -j DROP<\/span>\r\n\r\nxx.xx.xx.xx is your IP address<\/span>\r\n\r\nTo block\/drop connections from a range of IP addresses<\/span><\/strong>, run the following command:<\/span>\r\n\r\niptables -A INPUT -s xx.xx.xx.xx \/24 -j DROP<\/span>\r\n\r\nOR<\/span>\r\n\r\niptables -A INPUT -s xx.xx.xx.xx \/255.255.255.0 -j DROP<\/span>\r\n\r\nxx.xx.xx.xx is your IP address<\/span>\r\n\r\n\u00a0To block\/drop connections to a specific port<\/span><\/strong>, run the following command:<\/span>\r\n\r\niptables -A INPUT -p tcp \u2013dport imap -j DROP<\/span>\r\n\r\niptables commands for some of the common types of attacks :<\/span><\/strong>\r\n\r\niptables -A INPUT -p tcp\u2013syn -m state \u2013state NEW -j DROP<\/span>\r\n\r\n\u00a0to\u00a0<\/span>drop syn-flood packet<\/span><\/strong>\u00a0<\/span>\r\n\r\niptables -A INPUT -p tcp \u2013tcp-flags ALL NONE -j DROP<\/span>\r\n\r\nto\u00a0<\/span>drop NULL packet<\/span><\/strong>\r\n\r\niptables -A INPUT -p tcp \u2013tcp-flags ALL ALL -j DROP<\/span>\r\n\r\n\u00a0Block XMAS Packets\u00a0<\/span>\r\n

STEP 4: Decide which firewall ports to leave open:<\/span><\/strong><\/h3>\r\n
Here are some ports you could decide to leave open:<\/span><\/h5>\r\nFor outgoing connections:<\/span><\/strong>\r\n\r\n\u25cf 80\/tcp for HTTP<\/span>\r\n\r\n\u25cf 53\/udp for DNS<\/span>\r\n\r\n\u25cf 443\/tcp for HTTPS (secured HTTP)<\/span>\r\n\r\n\u25cf 21\/tcp for FTP (File Transfer Protocol)<\/span>\r\n\r\n\u25cf 465\/tcp for SMTP (send emails)<\/span>\r\n\r\n\u25cf 25\/tcp for Insecure SMTP<\/span>\r\n\r\n\u25cf 22\/tcp for SSH (secure connection from computer to computer)<\/span>\r\n\r\n\u25cf 993\/tcp&udp for IMAP (receive emails)<\/span>\r\n\r\n\u25cf 143\/tcp&udp for Insecure IMAP<\/span>\r\n\r\n\u25cf 9418\/tcp for GIT (version control system)<\/span>\r\n\r\nFor Incoming connections:<\/span><\/strong>\r\n\r\n\u25cf 993\/tcp&udp for IMAP (receive emails)<\/span>\r\n\r\n\u25cf 143\/tcp&udp for Insecure IMAP<\/span>\r\n\r\n\u25cf 110\/tcp for POP3 (old way to receive emails)<\/span>\r\n\r\n\u25cf 22\/tcp for SSH (secure connection from computer to computer)<\/span>\r\n\r\n\u25cf 9418\/tcp for GIT (version control system)<\/span>\r\n

Step 5: Save your firewall configuration<\/span><\/strong><\/h3>\r\nType the following command to save the settings you\u2019ve configured and restart your firewall:<\/span>\r\n\r\niptables -L -n<\/span><\/strong>\r\n\r\niptables-save | sudo tee \/etc\/sysconfig\/iptables<\/span><\/strong>\r\n\r\nservice iptables restart<\/span><\/strong>\r\n

CONCLUSION:<\/span><\/strong><\/h2>\r\nBy following the above steps, it is easy to easily enable a firewall in Linux. If your website is hosted on VPS (Virtual Private Server) Hosting, then you can easily make changes to your server, as\u00a0<\/span>VPS Hosting<\/span><\/strong><\/a> comes with full root access. This way, you have complete control of your hosting server and can customize it as you see fit.<\/span>\r\n\r\nMyReseller VPS server Plans<\/span>\r\n\r\nHope we\u2019ve made this process an easy-to-follow guide for you to configure a firewall in Linux.<\/span>\r\n\r\nMyResellerhome Dedicated Server Plans<\/span>\r\n
