Hi @all,

I'm having trouble to realize my use case and hope somebody could help me.

# Use case

For a home lab I want to deploy several guest domains. These domains must not have a direct or NAT connection to the internet or my LAN. They should only be able to reach my LAN and the internet through a proxy.

# What I've done

I've created the following virtual switch in isolated mode:

$ sudo virsh net-dumpxml private1
<network connections='3'>
   <name>private1</name>
   <uuid>THE-UUID</uuid>
   <bridge name='virbr1' stp='on' delay='0'/>
   <mac address='DE:AD:BE:EF:FF:FF'/>
   <domain name='private1'/>
   <ip address='192.168.100.1' netmask='255.255.255.0'>
     <dhcp>
       <range start='192.168.100.128' end='192.168.100.254'/>
     </dhcp>
   </ip>
</network>

I've setup a guest domain that serves as a proxy and several other guests.

# My issue

Nameresolution for *.private1 works fine on this network. But I'm not able to resolve domains from the outside world like github.com.

This behavior is intentional:

  https://gitlab.com/libvirt/libvirt/-/commit/513122ae93


I understood that libvirt is forwarding dns resolution requests to the hosts nameserver configured in /etc/resolv.conf in case the dnsmasq instance for the virtual network is not able to resolve the name.

Not for isolated networks, because a DNS request could be used to break out of an isolated network (by using "IP over DNS")


My guess, in my setup this don't work, because the virtual switch is in isolated mode, right?

When DNS traffic is forwarded by a DNS server, it is at application level, not IP level, so any filtering of forwarded traffic on the switch is not involved.


# My questions

  * What can I do to achieve my use case described above?

 * Is it possible to use the isolated mode here or do I have to use a different mode?

"no-resolv" will always be in the dnsmasq config file for an isolated network, and there isn't any way to remove it (other than using a different kind of network). And since there is not (as far as I know) a different dnsmasq option to counteract a "no-resolv" that's already there, you can't eliminate the effect of no-resolv by adding something to the conf file with <dnsmasq:options>. A few things to try:

1) try adding <forwarder addr='x.x.x.x'/> in the the <dns> section of the network, pointing to your normal DNS server. Possibly that directive to dnsmasq will make a "side run" around the restriction on forwarding. (this can also have "domain='blah'" added, in which case it only forwards requests for names within the 'blah' domain ).

2) use a <forward mode='route'> network, but also add in nwfilter rules that only allow traffic on the local network.

   https://libvirt.org/formatnwfilter.html

3) again, use <forward mode='route'>, but also manually add a rule to the host iptables that rejects all traffic from the guest network outbound on the host's egress interface.

It's important that the guest domains could only connect to the internet by using the proxy.


Have you tried putting the guests
