# IP netfilter configuration
#
menu "IP: Netfilter Configuration"
depends on INET && NETFILTER
# connection tracking, helpers and protocols
config IP_NF_CONNTRACK
tristate "Connection tracking (required for masq/NAT)"
---help---
Connection tracking keeps a record of what packets have passed
through your machine, in order to figure out how they are related
into connections.
This is required to do Masquerading or other kinds of Network
Address Translation (except for Fast NAT). It can also be used to
enhance packet filtering (see `Connection state match support'
below).
To compile it as a module, choose M here. If unsure, say N.
config IP_NF_CT_ACCT
bool "Connection tracking flow accounting"
depends on IP_NF_CONNTRACK
help
If this option is enabled, the connection tracking code will
keep per-flow packet and byte counters.
Those counters can be used for flow-based accounting or the
`connbytes' match.
If unsure, say `N'.
config IP_NF_CONNTRACK_MARK
bool 'Connection mark tracking support'
depends on IP_NF_CONNTRACK
help
This option enables support for connection marks, used by the
`CONNMARK' target and `connmark' match. Similar to the mark value
of packets, but this mark value is kept in the conntrack session
instead of the individual packets.
config IP_NF_CONNTRACK_EVENTS
bool "Connection tracking events"
depends on IP_NF_CONNTRACK
help
If this option is enabled, the connection tracking code will
provide a notifier chain that can be used by other kernel code
to get notified about changes in the connection tracking state.
IF unsure, say `N'.
config IP_NF_CONNTRACK_NETLINK
tristate 'Connection tracking netlink interface'
depends on IP_NF_CONNTRACK && NETFILTER_NETLINK
depends on IP_NF_CONNTRACK!=y || NETFILTER_NETLINK!=m
help
This option enables support for a netlink-based userspace interface
config IP_NF_CT_PROTO_SCTP
tristate 'SCTP protocol connection tracking support (EXPERIMENTAL)'
depends on IP_NF_CONNTRACK && EXPERIMENTAL
help
With this option enabled, the connection tracking code will
be able to do state tracking on SCTP connections.
If you want to compile it as a module, say M here and read
<file:Documentation/modules.txt>. If unsure, say `N'.
config IP_NF_FTP
tristate "FTP protocol support"
depends on IP_NF_CONNTRACK
help
Tracking FTP connections is problematic: special helpers are
required for tracking them, and doing masquerading and other forms
of Network Address Translation on them.
To compile it as a module, choose M here. If unsure, say Y.
config IP_NF_IRC
tristate "IRC protocol support"
depends on IP_NF_CONNTRACK
---help---
There is a commonly-used extension to IRC called
Direct Client-to-Client Protocol (DCC). This enables users to send
files to each other, and also chat to each other without the need
of a server. DCC Sending is used anywhere you send files over IRC,
and DCC Chat is most commonly used by Eggdrop bots. If you are
using NAT, this extension will enable you to send files and initiate
chats. Note that you do NOT need this extension to get files or
have others initiate chats, or everything else in IRC.
To compile it as a module, choose M here. If unsure, say Y.
config IP_NF_NETBIOS_NS
tristate "NetBIOS name service protocol support (EXPERIMENTAL)"
depends on IP_NF_CONNTRACK && EXPERIMENTAL
help
NetBIOS name service requests are sent as broadcast messages from an
unprivileged port and responded to with unicast messages to the
same port. This make them hard to firewall properly because connection
tracking doesn't deal with broadcasts. This helper tracks locally
originating NetBIOS name service requests and the corresponding
responses. It relies on correct IP address configuration, specifically
netmask and broadcast address. When properly configured, the output
of "ip address show" should look similar to this:
$ ip -4 address show eth0
4: eth0: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP> mtu 1500 qdisc pfifo_fast qlen 1000
inet 172.16.2.252/24 brd 172.16.2.255 scope global eth0
To compile it as a module, choose M here. If unsure, say N.
config IP_NF_TFTP
tristate "TFTP protocol support"
depends on IP_NF_CONNTRACK
help
TFTP connection tracking helper, this is required depending
on how restrictive your ruleset is.
If you are using a tftp client behind -j SNAT or -j MASQUERADING
you will need this.
To compile it as a module, choose M here. If unsure, say Y.
config IP_NF_AMANDA
tristate "Amanda backup protocol support"
depends on IP_NF_CONNTRACK
help
If you are running the Amanda backup package <http://www.amanda.org/>
on this machine or machines that will be MASQUERADED through this
machine, then you may want to enable this feature. This allows the
connection tracking and natting code to allow the sub-channels that
Amanda requires for communication of the backup data, messages and
index.
To compile it as a module, choose M here. If unsure, say Y.
config IP_NF_PPTP
tristate 'PPTP protocol support'
help
This module adds support for PPTP (Point to Point Tunnelling
Protocol, RFC2637) conncection tracking and NAT.
If you are running PPTP sessions over a stateful firewall or NAT
box, you may want to enable this feature.
Please note that not all PPTP modes of operation are supported yet.
For more info, read top of the file
net/ipv4/netfilter/ip_conntrack_pptp.c
If you want to compile it as a module, say M here and read
Documentation/modules.txt. If unsure, say `N'.
config IP_NF_QUEUE
tristate "IP Userspace queueing via NETLINK (OBSOLETE)"
help
Netfilter has the ability to queue packets to user space: the
netlink device can be used to access them using this driver.
This option enables the old IPv4-only "ip_queue" implementation
which has been obsoleted by the new "nfnetlink_queue" code (see
CONFIG_NETFILTER_NETLINK_QUEUE).
To compile it as a module, choose M here. If unsure, say N.
config IP_NF_IPTABLES
tristate "IP tables support (required for filtering/masq/NAT)"
help
iptables is a general, extensible packet identification framework.
The packet filtering and full NAT (masquerading, port forwarding,
etc) subsystems now use this: say `Y' or `M' here if you want to use
either of those.
To compile it as a module, choose M here. If unsure, say N.
# The matches.
config IP_NF_MATCH_LIMIT
tristate "limit match support"
depends on IP_NF_IPTABLES
help
limit matching allows you to control the rate at which a rule can be
matched: mainly useful in combination with the LOG target ("LOG
target support", below) and to avoid some Denial of Service attacks.
To compile it as a module, choose M here. If unsure, say N.
config IP_NF_MATCH_IPRANGE
tristate "IP range match support"
depends on IP_NF_IPTABLES
help

`nfmark' value in the packet. This can be set by the MARK target
(see below).
To compile it as a module, choose M here. If unsure, say N.
config IP_NF_MATCH_MULTIPORT
tristate "Multiple port match support"
depends on IP_NF_IPTABLES
help
Multiport matching allows you to match TCP or UDP packets based on
a series of source or destination ports: normally a rule can only
match a single range of ports.

help
This option adds a new iptables `hashlimit' match.
As opposed to `limit', this match dynamically crates a hash table
of limit buckets, based on your selection of source/destination
ip addresses and/or ports.
It enables you to express policies like `10kpps for any given
destination IP' or `500pps from any given source IP' with a single
IPtables rule.

To compile it as a module, choose M here. If unsure, say N.
config IP_NF_TARGET_ULOG
tristate "ULOG target support"
depends on IP_NF_IPTABLES
---help---
This option adds a `ULOG' target, which allows you to create rules in
any iptables table. The packet is passed to a userspace logging
daemon using netlink multicast sockets; unlike the LOG target
which can only be viewed through syslog.
The apropriate userspace logging daemon (ulogd) may be obtained from
<http://www.gnumonks.org/projects/ulogd/>

config IP_NF_TARGET_TCPMSS
tristate "TCPMSS target support"
depends on IP_NF_IPTABLES
---help---
This option adds a `TCPMSS' target, which allows you to alter the
MSS value of TCP SYN packets, to control the maximum size for that
connection (usually limiting it to your outgoing interface's MTU
minus 40).
This is used to overcome criminally braindead ISPs or servers which
block ICMP Fragmentation Needed packets. The symptoms of this
problem are that everything works fine from your Linux
firewall/router, but machines behind it can never exchange large
packets:
1) Web browsers connect, then hang with no data received.
2) Small mail works fine, but large emails hang.
3) ssh works fine, but scp hangs after initial handshaking.
Workaround: activate this option and add a rule to your firewall
configuration like:
iptables -A FORWARD -p tcp --tcp-flags SYN,RST SYN \
-j TCPMSS --clamp-mss-to-pmtu

config IP_NF_TARGET_MASQUERADE
tristate "MASQUERADE target support"
depends on IP_NF_NAT
help
Masquerading is a special case of NAT: all outgoing connections are
changed to seem to come from a particular interface's address, and
if the interface goes down, those connections are lost. This is
only useful for dialup accounts with dynamic IP address (ie. your IP
address will be different on next dialup).
To compile it as a module, choose M here. If unsure, say N.
config IP_NF_TARGET_REDIRECT
tristate "REDIRECT target support"
depends on IP_NF_NAT
help
REDIRECT is a special case of NAT: all incoming connections are
mapped onto the incoming interface's address, causing the packets to
come to the local machine instead of passing through. This is
useful for transparent proxies.

config IP_NF_TARGET_NETMAP
tristate "NETMAP target support"
depends on IP_NF_NAT
help
NETMAP is an implementation of static 1:1 NAT mapping of network
addresses. It maps the network address part, while keeping the host
address part intact. It is similar to Fast NAT, except that
Netfilter's connection tracking doesn't work well with Fast NAT.
To compile it as a module, choose M here. If unsure, say N.
config IP_NF_TARGET_SAME
tristate "SAME target support"

help
This option adds a `SAME' target, which works like the standard SNAT
target, but attempts to give clients the same IP for all connections.
To compile it as a module, choose M here. If unsure, say N.
config IP_NF_NAT_SNMP_BASIC
tristate "Basic SNMP-ALG support (EXPERIMENTAL)"
depends on EXPERIMENTAL && IP_NF_NAT
---help---
This module implements an Application Layer Gateway (ALG) for
SNMP payloads. In conjunction with NAT, it allows a network
management system to access multiple private networks with
conflicting addresses. It works by modifying IP addresses
inside SNMP payloads to match IP-layer NAT mapping.
This is the "basic" form of SNMP-ALG, as described in RFC 2962

packet prior to routing.
To compile it as a module, choose M here. If unsure, say N.
config IP_NF_TARGET_ECN
tristate "ECN target support"
depends on IP_NF_MANGLE
---help---
This option adds a `ECN' target, which can be used in the iptables mangle
table.
You can use this target to remove the ECN bits from the IPv4 header of
an IP packet. This is particularly useful, if you need to work around
existing ECN blackholes on the internet, but don't want to disable
ECN support in general.
To compile it as a module, choose M here. If unsure, say N.
config IP_NF_TARGET_DSCP
tristate "DSCP target support"
depends on IP_NF_MANGLE
help
This option adds a `DSCP' match, which allows you to match against
the IPv4 header DSCP field (DSCP codepoint).
The DSCP codepoint can have any value between 0x0 and 0x4f.
To compile it as a module, choose M here. If unsure, say N.
config IP_NF_TARGET_MARK
tristate "MARK target support"
depends on IP_NF_MANGLE
help
This option adds a `MARK' target, which allows you to create rules
in the `mangle' table which alter the netfilter mark (nfmark) field
associated with the packet prior to routing. This can change
the routing method (see `Use netfilter MARK value as routing
key') and can also be used by other subsystems to change their
behavior.
To compile it as a module, choose M here. If unsure, say N.
config IP_NF_TARGET_CLASSIFY
tristate "CLASSIFY target support"
depends on IP_NF_MANGLE
help
This option adds a `CLASSIFY' target, which enables the user to set
the priority of a packet. Some qdiscs can use this value for
classification, among these are:
atm, cbq, dsmark, pfifo_fast, htb, prio
To compile it as a module, choose M here. If unsure, say N.
config IP_NF_TARGET_TTL
tristate 'TTL target support'
depends on IP_NF_MANGLE
help
This option adds a `TTL' target, which enables the user to modify
the TTL value of the IP header.
While it is safe to decrement/lower the TTL, this target also enables
functionality to increment and set the TTL value of the IP header to
arbitrary values. This is EXTREMELY DANGEROUS since you can easily
create immortal packets that loop forever on the network.
To compile it as a module, choose M here. If unsure, say N.
config IP_NF_TARGET_CONNMARK
tristate 'CONNMARK target support'
depends on IP_NF_CONNTRACK_MARK && IP_NF_MANGLE
