NAME
Net::Firewall::BlockerHelper::backends::vyos - VyOS backend using the HTTP API.
VERSION
Version 0.1.0
SYNOPSIS
use Net::Firewall::BlockerHelper;
my $fw_helper = Net::Firewall::BlockerHelper->new(
backend => 'vyos',
name => 'ssh',
options => {
host => '10.0.0.1',
key => $vyos_api_key,
},
);
$fw_helper->init_backend;
$fw_helper->ban( ban => '1.2.3.4' );
$fw_helper->unban( ban => '1.2.3.4' );DESCRIPTION
Blocks IPs on a VyOS device via its HTTP API, adding and removing entries in a firewall address-group. IPv4 addresses are managed under the config path firewall group address-group <group> address <ip> and IPv6 under firewall group ipv6-address-group <group> address <ip>, using the group name given by the group option (defaulting to <prefix>_<name>).
The VyOS HTTP API takes application/x-www-form-urlencoded POSTs where the body is data=<url-escaped JSON>&key=<apikey>. Configuration changes are POSTed to https://<host>/configure and are auto-committed. The banned addresses are managed only here; a firewall rule referencing the address-group must already exist on the device.
Blocking is per IP; ports and protocols belong on the referencing rule, so specifying them here is an error.
LWP::UserAgent is loaded at run time, so it is only required when this backend is actually used. For https, LWP::Protocol::https must be present as well.
METHODS
new
Initiates the object.
- options :: Backend specific options. See below.
- prefix :: Prefix to use. Must match /^[a-zA-Z0-9]+$/. Default kur.
- name :: Name of this instance. Required.Ports and protocols are not supported and specifying either is an error.
The options hash accepts the following.
- host :: VyOS host, optionally host:port. Required.
- Default :: undef
- key :: VyOS HTTP API key. Required.
- Default :: undef
- group :: Firewall address-group name the banned addresses are added to.
The same name is used for the IPv4 address-group and the IPv6
ipv6-address-group.
- Default :: <prefix>_<name>
- insecure :: If true, skip TLS certificate verification (VyOS ships a
self-signed certificate).
- Default :: 0
- timeout :: HTTP timeout in seconds.
- Default :: 30All errors are considered fatal, meaning if new fails it will die.
init
Initiates the backend. Verifies the credentials and reachability by POSTing a showConfig operation for the address-group to /retrieve. Nothing is created on the device; the referencing firewall rule must already exist.
$backend->init;ban
Bans an IP. The value of ban is validated as being a IPv4 or IPv6 address and lowercased, then a set operation for firewall group address-group <group> address <ip> (or the ipv6-address-group equivalent) is POSTed to /configure. Banning an already banned IP is a noop.
$backend->ban(ban => $ip);unban
Unbans an IP. The value of ban is validated as being a IPv4 or IPv6 address and lowercased, then a delete operation for its address-group entry is POSTed to /configure. Unbanning an IP that is not banned is a noop.
$backend->unban(ban => $ip);ban_cidr
Bans a CIDR range by POSTing a set operation for it to /configure, adding it to the address-group in the same manner as a single IP. The value of ban is validated as being a IPv4 or IPv6 CIDR range and lowercased. Banning an already banned range is a noop.
$backend->ban_cidr(ban => '1.2.3.0/24');unban_cidr
Unbans a CIDR range by POSTing a delete operation for its address-group entry to /configure. The value of ban is validated as being a IPv4 or IPv6 CIDR range and lowercased. Unbanning a range that is not banned is a noop.
$backend->unban_cidr(ban => '1.2.3.0/24');list_cidr
List banned CIDR ranges. Returns an array of the currently banned CIDR ranges. Single IPs are not included; for those see "list".
my @banned_cidrs = $backend->list_cidr;list
List banned IPs. Returns an array of the currently banned single IPs. CIDR ranges are not included; for those see "list_cidr".
my @banned = $backend->list;re_init
Tears down and re-inits, then re-adds all previously added bans. teardown is best effort, as a partially or fully wiped setup is what this needs to recover from. Each retained single IP and CIDR ban is re-added via a set operation POSTed to /configure.
$backend->re_init;teardown
Tears down the setup by deleting the address-group entry for each currently banned IP and CIDR range. The internal list of bans is kept, so a following re_init will re-add them.
stop
Alias for "teardown".
check
Verifies the endpoint and credentials are still usable by retrieving the address-group config. Returns a true value if so and a false value otherwise.
flush
Removes all currently banned IPs and CIDR ranges at once by deleting their address-group entries and forgetting them.
$backend->flush;ERROR CODES / FLAGS
Error handling is provided by Error::Helper. All errors are considered fatal.
1, notInited
The backend has not been inited yet.
6, invalidPrefixSpecified
The specified prefix did not match /^[a-zA-Z0-9]+$/.
7, invalidName
The name is either undef or does not match /^[a-zA-Z0-9\-]+$/.
8, optionsNotHash
The item passed to new for options is not a hash.
9, noBanItem
No IP or CIDR range specified to ban or unban.
10, banItemNotIP
The item to ban is not an IP. Either wrong ref type or regexp test using Regexp::IPv4 and Regexp::IPv6 failed.
12, backendInitError
Failed to init the backend.
13, banFailed
Failed to ban the item.
14, unbanFailed
Failed to unban the item.
15, listFailed
Failed to get a list of bans.
16, reInitFailed
Failed to re_init the backend.
17, teardownFailed
Failed to teardown the backend.
18, alreadyInited
init called, but the backend has already been inited.
23, initFailed
init failed. Probing the address-group config failed.
24, checkFailed
The backend check raised an error.
25, flushFailed
Failed to flush the bans.
26, portsNotSupported
Ports were specified, but this backend manages whole IPs and does not support ports.
27, protocolsNotSupported
Protocols were specified, but this backend manages whole IPs and does not support protocols.
30, hostNotDefined
The option host is undef or blank.
31, keyNotDefined
The option key is undef or blank.
32, banCidrFailed
Failed to ban the CIDR range.
33, unbanCidrFailed
Failed to unban the CIDR range.
34, cidrItemNotCidr
The item to ban is not a CIDR range. Either wrong ref type or it is not an IPv4 or IPv6 address followed by a prefix length valid for its family.
35, cidrNotSupported
The backend does not support CIDR bans.
36, listCidrFailed
Failed to get a list of CIDR bans.
