Description

1) Multiple NAT rules can be assigned the same filter rule
2) when removing the link (i.e. switching to "pass" or "none", the linked rule isn't deleted (should it be? probably yes)
3) The destination IP and port of linked rules can be edited in firewall_rules_edit.php and shouldn't be. Source should be editable but not destination, since that should strictly be tied to the NAT rule.
4) If you edit the source in a linked firewall rule, it gets overwritten when you edit the NAT rule. The NAT rule should never touch the firewall rule source after the rule exists.

there is a merge request that fixes this.

just needs to be committed, not sure if merges are working again.

Unfortunately there is a new problem with the link on the firewall nat edit screen.

In my case the id of the rule is 0 but the link points to id 1 which does not exist.

You on the latest code? I fixed the ID being off by one yesterday, it's working for me now.

Actions #7

Updated by Scott Ullrich over 14 years ago

Yes, latest code. Just sync'd again to make sure.

You can see the rule on my primary firewall. It's @thompsa's rule.

Maybe another issue: if you delete a firewall rule linked to a NAT rule, the NAT rule remains associated to this (deleted) rule. "Filter rule association" should be set to NONE here ?

Actions #9

Updated by Scott Ullrich over 14 years ago

Yes, need to unassociate the rule upon deletion.

Actions #10

Updated by Chris Buechler over 14 years ago

I'd prefer prohibiting deletion of a linked firewall rule. If the NAT rule is deleted, the associated firewall rule is deleted. Unassociating in the NAT rule also removes the firewall rule.

Actions #11

Updated by Pierre POMES over 14 years ago

Ok Chris, that sounds logical.

Just a note for Scott: I am also unable to reproduce the problem you reported about the link id on my box. Do you still have it ?

Actions #12

Updated by Chris Buechler over 14 years ago

I also can't reproduce that problem, and don't appear to have access to Scott's firewall at the moment. Scott, if you can add me on your WAN rules I'll take a look.

Firewall rule added for HTTPS from 74.132.200.XXX

I deleted the original entry and added a new one and its working. I think that was artifacts from the entry created prior to the fix.

Spoke too soon. I deleted a rule and now its pointing to a new entry.

This is probably the wrong approach altogether. When creating the firewall nat port forward we should use the GUID library to create a GUID and use that value to link the two rules.

Information about our UUID library: http://www.shapeshifter.se/2008/09/29/uuid-generator-for-php/

filename is uuid.inc

There is no need for guid since its slow.
Take a look at the schedules code it uses something like this with uinque()

everything here seems to be taken care of, though there is at least one minor issue related to this code, we'll open new tickets for any outstanding issues.
