SuSEfirewall2 and logs

Hello all,

I have setup Tumbleweed and i want to use it for masquerading. I used the YaST module to set it up (eth0 external and eth1 internal). When i internally check the eth0, the ports that i allowed, work perfectly. But when i try the same thing from outside (i use http://www.t1shopper.com/tools/port-scan/), then there is no response, at all.

I don’t understand what i do wrong here, so i decided to look into /var/logs, but for some reason there are no logs in there.

What am i doing wrong?

Thanks!

/var/logs should probably be /var/log

Does that help?

Good luck.

Hi,

unfortunately not. here is what is in there:

README btmp mysql teamviewer
Xorg.0.log cups ntp tuned
Xorg.0.log.old fail2ban.log parallels-tools-install.log wpa_supplicant.log
YaST2 faillog parallels.log wtmp
alternatives.log hp pbl.log zypp
apache2 journal pk_backend_zypp zypper.log
apparmor krb5 samba
audit lastlog snapper.log
boot.log log sssd

but no firewall.

Hello again,

i solved it myself but it is a very worrying result.

Even though in the firewall ETH0 = external and ETH1 = internal, actually they respond the other way around!

any help will be appreciated as now i don’t know how to configure the masquerading.

thanks!

It should be in the systemd journal. I am not sure if this is present on TW but in Leap there is a “Systemd Journal” module for YaST. You can use that to filter for entries that match your interface names. Also maybe check /var/log/YaST2/ ? It could be an issue with YaST itself.
