IPtables Firewalling Webmin Module Copyright (C) 2001 by Tim Niemueller <tim@niemueller.de> http://www.niemueller.de/webmin/modules/iptables/ This program is free software; you can redistribute it and/or modify it under the terms of the GNU General Public License as published by the Free Software Foundation; either version 2 of the License, or (at your option) any later version.

Created : 25.06.2001 General Information about the Module ==================================== This is the file for architectural information (if there is any that is worth to be called so) of the IPtables Firewall Module. Overall Structure ----------------- The module has three operation modes: Newbie, Template and Expert Mode. The Newbie mode let's the user choose between a disabled firewall, three different security modes and full security. Full means that NO traffic will go through the firewall! Really NO traffic! The three security modes between are low, medium and high. Where low accepts the most common services for a network and some additional network administration tools. The medium level allows only services known to be as harmless as possible (HTTP, NNTP, SMTP). The high mode only accepts the most important services like Web and mail. The template modes allows the user to enable specific network protocols for traffic. The user can choose from interface combinations shown on the top of the screen as tabs. For example inside->dmz or inside->internet. The templates are some that I wrote templates for or self-defined templates that can be defined with the "Define Template" link at the bottom of the page. The expert modes is for the really advanced users. It allows the "raw" edit of chains and rules with all supported parameters. You should use this mode for special constructs. Differences to the IPchains Module ---------------------------------- Importing of old settings is not supported. Internationalisation (i18n) --------------------------- Internationalisation support is pretty simple. The lang subdirectory has a file called "en". Copy it an translate all lines as described in the Webmin Module Writers Help (to be found at http://www.niemueller.de/webmin/writers-help/) and rename the file to the ISO shortcut (like "de" for German). The Descriptions for the templates are in the subdirectory called "descriptions/LANGUAGE", where LANGUAGE is the short cut (like en or de). The graphics for the levels contain also text so they are prepared for i18n. The module looks for images with the name IMAGE.LANGUAGE.gif in the images subdirectory, where IMAGE is the name of the level (disabled, low, medium, high, full, always in english!) and LANGUAGE the language abbreviation (like en or de). Use IMAGE.gif as a template.
