Zones Basics
^^^^^^^^^^^^
Each interface is assigned to a zone. The interface can be physical or virtual
such as tunnels (VPN, pptp, gre, etc) and are treated exactly the same.

Traffic flows from zone A to zone B. That flow is what I refer to as a
zone-pair-direction. eg. A->B and B->A are two zone-pair-destinations.
Ruleset are created per zone-pair-direction.
I name rule sets to indicate which zone-pair-direction they represent. eg.
ZoneA-ZoneB or ZoneB-ZoneA. LAN-DMZ, DMZ-LAN.

In VyOS, you have to have unique Ruleset names. In the event of overlap, I
add a "-6" to the end of v6 rulesets. eg. LAN-DMZ, LAN-DMZ-6. This allows for
each auto-completion and uniqueness.

In rules, it is good to keep them named consistently. As the number of rules
you have grows, the more consistency you have, the easier your life will be.

By default, iptables does not allow traffic for established session to return,
so you must explicitly allow this. I do this by adding two rules to every
ruleset. 1 allows established and related state packets through and rule 2
drops and logs invalid state packets. We place the established/related rule at
the top because the vast majority of traffic on a network is established and
the invalid rule to prevent invalid state packets from mistakenly being matched
against other rules. Having the most matched rule listed first reduces CPU load
in high volume environments. Note: I have filed a bug to have this added as a
default action as well.

Zones do not allow for a default action of accept; either drop or reject.
It is important to remember this because if you apply an interface to a zone
and commit, any active connections will be dropped. Specifically, if you are
SSHd into VyOS and add local or the interface you are connecting through to a
zone and do not have rulesets in place to allow SSH and established sessions,
you will not be able to connect.
