How to block forwarding of specific host

Asked by Martijn

I have a home server running UFW that acts as router for a number of PC's/phones on my network. The layout is
PC -> Homeserver with UFW -> ADSL modem/router -> internet.
As default policiies I enable outgoing and forwarding (using sysctl.conf) and disable incoming connections.
Now I want to block one or more specific hosts. Therfore I add a reject line using "ufw insert 1 deny from 192.168.0.x"
This block incoming connections to the homeserver but still allows forwarding.
Is it possible to block forwarding for specific hosts using the commandline interface? I would really like to do so since I need a user friendly and scriptable firewall configuration tool.

My UFW configuration looks like:

#ufw status verbose
Status: active
Logging: on (medium)
Default: reject (incoming), allow (outgoing)
New profiles: skip

To Action From
-- ------ ----
Anywhere REJECT IN 192.168.0.11
Anywhere ALLOW IN 192.168.0.0/24
22 ALLOW IN Anywhere
80 ALLOW IN Anywhere
993 ALLOW IN Anywhere
143 ALLOW IN Anywhere
631 ALLOW IN Anywhere
22 ALLOW IN Anywhere (v6)
80 ALLOW IN Anywhere (v6)
993 ALLOW IN Anywhere (v6)
143 ALLOW IN Anywhere (v6)
631 ALLOW IN Anywhere (v6)

I am running 0.31 from Debian testing

As far as I know, UFW is developed within Ubuntu. I could not find a user forum or developer address except for launchpad, so I asked my question here.

Debian isn't supoprted here. You are using Debian.

UFW is not developed within Ubuntu, it is just packaged so that it works with how Ubuntu works. It has it's own maintainers which develop code and is then packaged by package maintainers for various distributions.

Please post on the Debian forum.

Can you help with this problem?
