I've got a setup with OpenVPN that routes two network to WAN. On the setup below Fedora Linux server provides OpenVEN access to WAN, while Mikrotik 1 router routes (not NATted) traffic to specific hosts via 10.9.0.1 OpenVPN server.
The issue is that Https is not avalible vie Fedora router since I got rid of the NAT for 192.168.88.0/0 and 89.0/24 networks.
The problem is that UFW seems to block NAT r ...

I have an AWS EC2 VPC-based Windows Server instance that has two private IP addresses and two elastic IP addresses on a single network interface with IP addresses:
IP | Role |
---|---|
172.16.30.245 | Primary |
172.16.30.197 | Secondary |
I have configured in the NIC the primary IP address and under the advanced tab I have added the secondary IP address however this has caused an undesired effect under R ...
to start, here is my infra in summary :
I have a Proxmox server with an IP public, I created a vmbr1 bridge from Proxmox (192.168.0.1) and I use IP 192.168.0.108 for my VM.
Here is the route : 192.168.0.0/24 dev vmbr1 proto kernel scope link src 192.168.0.1
I deleted all iptables rules, I have this one left for NAT:
Chain POSTROUTING (policy ACCEPT 786 packets, 36868 bytes)

Pfsense is installed on top of five dedicated servers, NAT rules are already defined and everything works fine. Now, I want to have one of the external IP addresses to be ignored by pfsense gateway. In other words, for that IP, there is no Pfsense installed, no address translation is done, no internal IP exists, etc.
Is/how it possible.
Thanks
Why GCP Cloud NAT needs BGP/Cloud Router?
Cloud Router enables you to dynamically exchange routes between your Virtual Private Cloud (VPC) and on-premises networks by using Border Gateway Protocol (BGP)
You configure a NAT gateway on a Cloud Router, which provides the control plane for NAT, holding configuration parameters that you specify.
Each C ...
Given the following network:
+-- endpoint 1
|
internet -- server --+-- endpoint 2
|
+-- endpoint 3
where the endpoints are on subnet 192.168.1.0/24
and they route their traffic through the server.
For this, we require a NAT rule on the server for the interface connected to the internet:
iptables -t nat -A POSTROUT ...
I've some issues with TFTP download behind NAT using IPtables and i could really use your help. I'm familiar with networking pricipals, but pretty new to IPtables, so i'm sorry if i'm doing something completly wrong.
I have a server running Ubuntu 20.04 with two nics and which tries to connect to a TFTP-server. While everything else work perfectly okay, i'm getting a timeout, when trying to TFTP. ...
I have a RHEL7 VM running on Hyper-V. In my VM, I have a web-based program the I need to access over port 11000. In the VM, the software is configured and is accessible by https://0.0.0.0:11000

I have a pfSense firewall/router that is exposing some services to my public ip.
This is working fine, as long as the service is on the primary LAN subnet (192.168.1.0/24
), let's call it LAN-A.
E.g. this works:
public_ip:443 -> pfSense (NAT) -> 192.168.1.20:5443 (reverse proxy)
I additionally have a second LAN 192.168.88.0/24
, let's call it LAN-B, that is behind a Mikrotik router on 192.168.1 ...
I have a VPS running WireGuard as a server in a docker container, where I've given it the devices I intend on adding as peers.

When I execute sudo iptables -F
,my iptable rules for the nat table are not flushed. Why is this the case? What does the above command do?
I believe there are three tables: filter, nat, and mangle. I don’t think any of these tables are affected by sudo iptables -F
. Is this correct?

I have configured second one to serve its own internal network 192.168.77.0/24 using QuickSet, and allocated IP address for i ...
I'm forwarding port 80 of a web server to the public interface of the firewall, which is then mapped to a domain name so that the server can be accessible from that domain name.
I did this process too many times but this time I'm in a different country and connected to the internet using a different kind of firewall.
Conditions:

There used to be these sysctls in older versions of FreeBSD, viz:
net.inet.ip.fw.dyn_ack_lifetime=3600
net.inet.ip.fw.dyn_udp_lifetime=15
now on FreeBSD 12 sysctl reports that these don't exist.
How can I tune the lifetime for TCP/UDP for in kernel NAT?
I have a server on AWS with a floating (secondary) IP. During integrations with a partner I provide my secondary IP to be whitelisted and define a POSTROUTING rule to SNAT my IP to the secondary IP to reach to destination such as
sudo iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -d partnersip/32 -s myprivateip -j SNAT --to-source secondaryip
But now I've come to a scenario where my partner is also using NAT and I ...

I checked on web server and saw that: These customers is living at my allowed countries but their public I ...
I'm aware of NAT table. I just want to know what happens if two clients in a private local area network want to download exactly the same resource on the same port? In other words , When a packet comes from the server, how can the router decide which client is supposed to get this packet?
If I'm not wrong, the incoming packet from the server has destination IP address of the router which is publi ...
I can run arbitrary code on both a Linux server instance and a Linux VM inside the server. Both can only communicate to each other through vsock channels. Only the server instance has internet access.
I'd like to run one program on the server and one on the VM that connect to each other through vsock. The VM part intercepts any outgoing internet traffic and sends it to the server part via vsock w ...

I am trying to create a policy/routing on the virtual machine. My host physical machine with Hyper V is connected with three NIC (One for internal, external switch1 (for internet and port 80), external switch 2(connected to a router with AutoVPN enabled). I want to make a policy or routing that when someone types a https://example.com it takes the, internal IP address as a source and use port 443 an ...
I'm about to deploy NAT64 and I noticed that it's possible to use your own prefix instead of the "well-known prefix". Now I can imagine complex scenarios with multiple NAT64 gateways serving different prefixes where that would be necessary. But for a rather simple configuration with 2 VRRP routers, is there any advantage to using your own prefix?
Update 2: I wrote a quick&dirty tutorial for Jool on Debian 11, since their website is very thorough, but also slightly confusing and the examples too complex for most cases.
I'm looking to go IPv6 native and need a NAT64 implementation on my Debian routers. Is tayga still the way to go, as it's in the user space and all? Is there no kernel equivalent to "iptables ... -j MASQ" for NAT64?

both group A and instance B are in same vpc, A has no public ip ,B has one pulibc ip, and which i did is use B as a NAT and set SNAT in vpc so group A can access internet ...
I observed that netfilter changes the source port when a connection is established in the conntrack module. I need to prevent this behavior.
Here is what I have done to reproduce my problem:

I came across a tricky problem with source NAT when using multiple VRF on a Debian based router. It's a bit complex to explain, so I will try to be clear, but it will not be short, sorry for that. The problem should be easy to reproduce though.
To isolate the "management" part of the router (ssh and other services) from its router job (routing and NATing packets), I tried to set up the "mgmt" VRF ...
I'm attempting to work with the SonicOS API in a project to try and automate the renewal and deployment of SSL certificates from Let's Encrypt. However, I'm unable to establish a connection to the API endpoint from behind the firewall, no matter how I try to get there:
