Using Aliases
|
|
=============
|
|
Aliases are named lists of networks, hosts or ports that can be used as one entity
|
|
by selecting the alias name in the various supported sections of the firewall.
|
|
These aliases are particularly useful to condense firewall rules and minimize
|
|
changes.
|
|
|
|
-----------
|
|
Alias Types
|
|
-----------
|
|
OPNsense offers the following alias types:
|
|
|
|
+------------+------------------------------------------------------+
|
|
| Type | Description |
|
|
+============+======================================================+
|
|
| Hosts | Single hosts by IP or Fully Qualified Domain Name |
|
|
+------------+------------------------------------------------------+
|
|
| Networks | Entire network p.e. 192.168.1.1/24 |
|
|
+------------+------------------------------------------------------+
|
|
| Ports | Port numbers or a port range like 20:30 |
|
|
+------------+------------------------------------------------------+
|
|
| URL Tables | A table of ip addresses that can be fetched |
|
|
+------------+------------------------------------------------------+
|
|
| GeoIP | Select countries or whole regions |
|
|
+------------+------------------------------------------------------+
|
|

|
|
Hosts
|
|
-----
|
|
Hosts can be entered as a single IP address or a fully qualified domain name.
|
|
When using a fully qualified domain name, the name will we resolved periodically
|
|
(default is each 300 seconds).
|
|
|
|
Sample
|
|
Lets say we want to create an alias table for **www.youtube.com**
|
|
|
|
.. image:: images/aliases_host.png
|
|
:scale: 100%
|
|
|
|
**Apply changes** and look at the content of our newly created pf table.
|
|
Go to **Firewall->Diagnostics->pfTables** and select our newly created youtube table.
|
|
|
|
.. image:: images/pftable_youtube.png
|
|
:scale: 100%
|
|
|
|
As you can see there are multiple ip addresses for this domain.
|
|
|
|
--------
|
|
Networks
|
|
--------
|
|
Networks are specified in Classless Inter-Domain Routing format (CIDR). Use the
|
|
the correct CIDR mask for each entry. For instance a /32 specifies a single IPv4 host,
|
|
or /128 specifies a single IPv6 host, whereas /24 specifies 255.255.255.0 and
|
|
/64 specifies a normal IPv6 network.
|
|
|
|
-----
|
|
Ports
|
|
-----
|
|
Ports can be specified as a single number or a range using a colon **:**.
|
|
For instance to add a range of 20 to 25 one would enter 20:25 in the **Port(s)**
|
|
section.
|
|
|
|
----------
|
|
URL Tables
|
|
----------
|
|
URL tables can be used to fetch a list of ip addresses from a remote server.
|
|
There are several IP lists available for free, most notably are the "Don't Route
|
|
Or Peer" lists from Spamhaus.
|
|
|
|
-----
|
|
GeoIP
|
|
-----
|
|
With GeoIP alias you can select one or more countries or whole continents to block
|
|
or allow. Use the *toggle all* checkbox to select all countries within the given
|
|
region.
|
|
|
|
This feature was reworked with 17.7.7 and supersedes the GeoIP blocking via IPS.

Import Feature
|
|
--------------
|
|
To quickly add a list of aliases OPNsense also offers an import feature, where
|
|
you can paste or enter a list in text format.
|
|
|
|
Common examples are lists of IPs, networks, blacklists, etc.
|
|
The list may contain IP addresses, with or without CIDR prefix, IP ranges,
|
|
blank lines (ignored) and an optional description after each IP. e.g.:
|
|
|
|
.. code::
|
|
|
|
172.16.1.2
|
|
172.16.0.0/24
|
|
10.11.12.100-10.11.12.200
|
|
192.168.1.254 Home router
|
|
10.20.0.0/16 Office network
|
|
10.40.1.10-10.40.1.19 Managed switches
|
|
|
|
Spamhaus
|
|
--------
|
|
|
|
The Spamhaus Don't Route Or Peer Lists
|
|
DROP (Don't Route Or Peer) and EDROP are advisory "drop all traffic" lists,
|
|
consisting of netblocks that are "hijacked" or leased by professional spam or
|
|
cyber-crime operations (used for dissemination of malware, trojan downloaders,
|
|
botnet controllers). The DROP and EDROP lists are a tiny subset of the SBL,
|
|
designed for use by firewalls and routing equipment to filter out the malicious
|
|
traffic from these netblocks.

Using Aliases in pf Firewall Rules
|
|
----------------------------------
|
|
Aliases can be used in the firewall rules to make administration of large lists
|
|
easy. For instance we could have a list of remote ip's that should have access to
|
|
certain services, when anything changes we only need to update the list.
|
|
|
|
Lets create a simple alias list and assume we have 3 remote ip's that may access
|
|
the ipsec server for a site to site tunnel connection:
|
|
|
|
* 192.168.100.1
|
|
* 192.168.200.2
|
|
* 192.168.300.3
|
|
|
|
.. image:: images/alias_remote_ipsec.png
|
|
:scale: 100%
|
|
|
|
We call our list remote_ipsec and update our firewall rules accordingly.
|
|
|
|
.. image:: images/alias_firewall_rules.png
|
|
:scale: 100%
|
|
|
|
Notice the list icon to identify a rule with an alias (list).
|
|
|
|
--------
|
|
Advanced
|
|
--------
|
|
For hosts it is possible to use lists in lists. Per example you could have:
|
|
|
|
* critical_servers {10.0.1.1 , 10.0.1.2}
|
|
* other_servers {10.0.1.100 , 10.0.1.200}
|
|
|
|
Then concatenate both by defining a new list:
|
|
|
|
* servers { critical_servers , other_servers}.
|
|
|
|
The end result will be a list with all ip addresses in one alias list (servers).
|
|
|

|
|
GeoIP's
|
|
-------
|
|
While it is possible to use geoIP lists in aliases by importing or using the url
|
|
feature, OPNsense has a much more advanced way of blocking or allowing traffic based
|
|
on the geographical location (country) by utilizing the netmap enabled
