"installer hangs and fails after activation of ipfw policy". As
soon as .fw script swapped ipfw sets usig command "ipfw sawp" and
deleted temporary set 1, ssh session would hang and eventually
break. We optionally add ipfw rules to permit ssh session used to
manage the firewall, as well as a rule to permit reply packets but
the latter rule was not built correctly. It should match source
and destination reversed, as well as match keyword "established"
and recreate state with "keep-state". This rule automatically
recreates state for the established ssh session over which
firewall policy is being managed. Also added a comment to the
firewall settings dialog for ipfw to remind the user that address
or subnet they use with this automatic rule should be as narrow as
possible.
wants to use putty session, show session name instead of the ip
address in the "Address that will be used to communicate with the
firewall" input field in the installer options dialog.
matching algorithm that determins which interface a rule should be
associated with for Cisco IOS ACLs. Previously compiler did not
compare subnets properly and because of that it interpreted some
configurations incorrectly. For example in the case with a network
object 10.0.0.0/8 in "source" and an interface with address
10.0.0.1/24 (network should not be considered matching) compiler
considered this interface matching and assigned the rule to the
interface only with direction "inbound".
pscp.exe supports putty session in place of the target name but
not if argument "-load session_name" is also present. Plink.exe
does the same. We can not use fwb_session_with_keepalive if user
wants to use putty session.
