<title>Firewall</title>
<para>
NixOS has a simple stateful firewall that blocks incoming
connections and other unexpected packets. The firewall applies to
both IPv4 and IPv6 traffic. It is enabled by default. It can be
disabled as follows:
</para>
<programlisting language="bash">
networking.firewall.enable = false;
</programlisting>
<para>
If the firewall is enabled, you can open specific TCP ports to the
outside world:
</para>
<programlisting language="bash">
networking.firewall.allowedTCPPorts = [ 80 443 ];
</programlisting>
<para>
Note that TCP port 22 (ssh) is opened automatically if the SSH
daemon is enabled
(<literal>services.openssh.enable = true</literal>). UDP ports can
be opened through
<xref linkend="opt-networking.firewall.allowedUDPPorts" />.
</para>
<para>
To open ranges of TCP ports:
</para>
<programlisting language="bash">
networking.firewall.allowedTCPPortRanges = [
{ from = 4000; to = 4007; }
{ from = 8000; to = 8010; }
];
</programlisting>
<para>
Similarly, UDP port ranges can be opened through
<xref linkend="opt-networking.firewall.allowedUDPPortRanges" />.
</para>
