Simplewall: Improve pre-installed/system rules

Created on 20 Mar 2020  路  1Comment  路  Source: henrypp/simplewall

Hello,

in my 3.1.1 installation I see that the following filters are wrong/missing:

- "NetBIOS [inbound]" has direction "any" instead of inbound

  • "mDNS" is outbound only, please make it "mDNS [outbound]" and add "mDNS [inbound]" (local: 224.0.0.251:5353;[ff02::fb]:5353, inbound, udp)
  • "LLMNR" is outbound only, ditto (local: 224.0.0.252:5355;[ff02::1:3]:5355, inbound, udp)

    - "IGMP" is outbound only, ditto (local: 224.0.0.0/4, inbound, igmp)

  • "DNS" is outbound only, please rename it "DNS client [outbound]" and add a "DNS client [inbound]" (remote: 53, inbound, udp)

Lastly, I have a question about system rules. Consider LLMNR:
https://github.com/henrypp/simplewall/blob/f994eb35aceec9011e8eb55e7e34e6dbadca3373/bin/rules_system.xml#L12

According to this it should apply to "System" and "svchost.exe" but when I open this rule in the rules editor it says "Enabled for all apps". Does this work correctly under the hood and just not display it correctly in the UI? Thanks.

Hello,

"NetBIOS [inbound]" has direction "any" instead of inbound

Fixed, thank you!

  • "mDNS" is outbound only, please make it "mDNS [outbound]" and add "mDNS [inbound]" (local: 224.0.0.251:5353;[ff02::fb]:5353, inbound, udp)

  • "LLMNR" is outbound only, ditto (local: 224.0.0.252:5355;[ff02::1:3]:5355, inbound, udp)

  • "IGMP" is outbound only, ditto (local: 224.0.0.0/4, inbound, igmp)

I think this is not necessary, but you can create pull request.

There is no problem, this rules are applied to svchost.exe and System when enabled.
