iptables formula
================

Iptables is used to set up, maintain, and inspect the tables of IPv4 packet
filter rules in the Linux kernel. Several different tables may be defined.
Each table contains a number of built-in chains and may also contain
user-defined chains.  Each chain is a list of rules which can match a set of
packets. Each rule specifies what to do with a packet that matches. This is
called a `target`, which may be a jump to a user-defined chain in the same
table.

Sample pillars
==============

Most common rules - allow traffic on localhost, accept related,established and
ping

.. code-block:: yaml

    parameters:
      iptables:
        service:
          enabled: True
          chain:
            INPUT:
              rules:
                - in_interface: lo
                  jump: ACCEPT
                - connection_state: RELATED,ESTABLISHED
                  match: state
                  jump: ACCEPT
                - protocol: icmp
                  jump: ACCEPT

Accept connections on port 22

.. code-block:: yaml

    parameters:
      iptables:
        service:
          chain:
            INPUT:
              rules:
                - destination_port: 22
                  protocol: tcp
                  jump: ACCEPT

Set drop policy on INPUT chain:

.. code-block:: yaml

    parameters:
      iptables:
        service:
          chain:
            INPUT:
              policy: DROP

Redirect privileged port 443 to 8081

.. code-block:: yaml

    parameters:
      iptables:
        service:
          chain:
            PREROUTING:
              filter: nat
              destination_port: 443
              to_port: 8081
              protocol: tcp
              jump: REDIRECT

Allow access from local network

.. code-block:: yaml

    parameters:
      iptables:
        service:
          chain:
            INPUT:
              rules:
                - protocol: tcp
                  destination_port: 22
                  source_network: 192.168.1.0/24
                  jump: ACCEPT

Support logging with custom prefix and log level

.. code-block:: yaml

    parameters:
      iptables:
        service:
          chain:
            POSTROUTING:
              rules:
                - table: nat
                  protocol: tcp
                  match: multiport
                  destination_ports:
                    - 21
                    - 80
                    - 443
                    - 2220
                  source_network: '10.20.30.0/24'
                  log_level: 7
                  log_prefix: 'iptables-logging: '
                  jump: LOG


IPv6 is supported as well

.. code-block:: yaml

    parameters:
      iptables:
        service:
          enabled: True
          ipv6: True
          chain:
            INPUT:
              rules:
                - protocol: tcp
                  family: ipv6
                  destination_port: 22
                  source_network: 2001:DB8::/32
                  jump: ACCEPT
