nixpkgs/nixos/modules/services/networking/firewall.nix

/* This module enables a simple firewall.

   The firewall can be customised in arbitrary ways by setting
   ‘networking.firewall.extraCommands’.  For modularity, the firewall
   uses several chains:

   - ‘nixos-fw’ is the main chain for input packet processing.

   - ‘nixos-fw-accept’ is called for accepted packets.  If you want
     additional logging, or want to reject certain packets anyway, you
     can insert rules at the start of this chain.

   - ‘nixos-fw-log-refuse’ and ‘nixos-fw-refuse’ are called for
     refused packets.  (The former jumps to the latter after logging
     the packet.)  If you want additional logging, or want to accept
     certain packets anyway, you can insert rules at the start of
     this chain.

   - ‘nixos-fw-rpfilter’ is used as the main chain in the raw table,
     called from the built-in ‘PREROUTING’ chain.  If the kernel
     supports it and `cfg.checkReversePath` is set this chain will
     perform a reverse path filter test.

   - ‘nixos-drop’ is used while reloading the firewall in order to drop
     all traffic.  Since reloading isn't implemented in an atomic way
     this'll prevent any traffic from leaking through while reloading
     the firewall.  However, if the reloading fails, the ‘firewall-stop’
     script will be called which in return will effectively disable the
     complete firewall (in the default configuration).
