We run a couple of automated
scans to help you access a
module's quality. Each module is
given a score based on how well
the author has formatted their
code and documentation and
modules are also checked for
malware using VirusTotal.

Please note, the information below
is for guidance only and neither of
these methods should be considered
an endorsement by Puppet.

Firewall builder

This is a configuration example in Hiera:

firewall:
  # in this section you can group IPs
  custom_ipset:
    authz:
      # specify a list of IPs, Networks, FQDNs under the name "authz"
      # FQDN elements must have at least A or AAAA record 
      list:
        - '150.254.166.19'
        - '150.254.208.67'
        - '2001:718:ff05:206::155'
        - '2001:718:ff05:206::166'
        - "www.geant.org"
        - "www.google.uz"
    rackspace:
      # specify a list of IPs or Networks under the name "rackspace"
      list:
        - '134.213.42.227'
        - '2a00:1a48:15e1:4:33d7:40d8:d11f:abb5'
        - '134.213.42.228'
        - '2a00:1a48:15e1:4:31d5:3397:4fd6:7ad3'
        - '10.100.4.0/24'
        - "2001:630:280:20::/64"
      # run a hieradata lookup against an array of IPs, FQDNs existing in
      # hiera and group them under the name "rackspace"
      hieradata:
        - "haproxy_servers"
        - "db_servers"
      # run a query on the puppetDB, produces a list of IPs
      # and group them under the name "rackspace". 
      # An empty match will cause a puppet fail
      puppetdb:
        - { 'name': 'myserver\d+\.geant\.org' }  # by default it matches the same environment of the host
        - { 'name': 'otherserver\d+\.geant\.org', 'env': 'uat' }
        - { 'name': 'moreservers\d+\.geant\.org', 'env': ['uat', 'test'] }
  # this section contains addresses NOT belonging to the internal network
  # if you do not specify an "ipset", the connection will be open world-wide
  # ipsets from the public section will be added to "fail2ban" ignoreip list
  public:
    # open http/https to everyone
    web:
      port: [80, 443]
    # open ldap/ldaps to ipset groups "authz" and "rackspace"
    ldap_ports:
      port: [389, 636]
      proto: ['tcp']
      ipset: ["authz", "rackspace"]
  # this section contains addresses belonging to the internal network
  # if you do not specify an "ipset" it will open to everyone in the internal network
  trust:
    # open the specified ports to all internal networks
    trusted_ports:
      port: [389, 443, 636, 3000, 3001, 3268, 6379, 6380, 8000]
      proto: ['tcp']
    # open DB ports to "haproxy_servers"
    db_ports:
      port: [3306]
      proto: ['tcp']
      ipset: "haproxy_servers"
