nixpkgs/nixos/modules/services/networking/firewall-iptables.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 mangle 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).
