Hi all,
I have managed to get my bridging setup working, but I'm unsure I did
everything ok, so I would like someone to double-check what I did.
Thanks in advance.
Problem:
* I have an upstream network connection to my ISP via VPN: I have a
dedicate router that gives me a non routable address in the
192.168.120.xxx subnet and that will route in th "non routable"
range 192.168.yyy.xxx.
* I need to open a VPN (OpenVPN) with a well defined server
(192.168.12.74) and I will get my fixed public address (80.79.62.xxx).
* I have a front-end machine (ubuntu) that hosts two virtualized
clients to act as firewall and "public host" on a DMZ.
* The firewall is IPCop.
* The host is another ubuntu (server) installation.
* All networking is handled via bridging.
Solution:
/etc/network/interfaces:
===============
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback
# LAN -------------------------------
auto eth0 tap0 br0
iface eth0 inet manual
iface tap0 inet manual
up ifconfig $IFACE 0.0.0.0 up
down ifconfig $IFACE down
tunctl_user mauro
iface br0 inet static
address 192.168.0.5
netmask 255.255.255.0
#gateway 192.168.0.254
bridge_ports eth0 tap0
bridge_maxwait 0
#-----------------------------------
# WAN ------------------------------
auto eth2 tap2 tap4 br2
# physical interface to Ydea net
iface eth2 inet static
address 192.168.120.5
netmask 255.255.255.0
iface tap2 inet manual
up ifconfig $IFACE 0.0.0.0 up
down ifconfig $IFACE down
tunctl_user mauro
iface tap4 inet manual
up /root/Ydea/tap-up.sh
down /root/Ydea/tap-down.sh
tunctl_user mauro
iface br2 inet manual
# address 192.168.120.5
# netmask 255.255.255.0
bridge_ports tap4 tap2
bridge_maxwait 0
#-----------------------------------
# DMZ ------------------------------
auto tap1 tap3 br1
iface tap1 inet manual
up ifconfig $IFACE 0.0.0.0 up
down ifconfig $IFACE down
tunctl_user mauro
iface tap3 inet manual
up ifconfig $IFACE 0.0.0.0 up
down ifconfig $IFACE down
tunctl_user mauro
iface br1 inet static
address 192.168.77.5
netmask 255.255.255.0
bridge_ports tap1 tap3
bridge_maxwait 0
#-----------------------------------

The idea is:
* to have direct connection (using eth2) to my ISP and use that ONLY
to setup the VPN tunnel (tap4) connected with the RED interface
of IPCop (tap2).
* to have a direct bridge between ORANGE if of IPCop (tap2) to the
virtual if of my "server" (tap4).
* to have the other "real" ethernet (eth0) on host connected to my
internal home net bridged to the virtual GREEN if of IPCop (tap0).
This *does* work, but I would like to be sure that:
* host will only respond to his own internal address (192.168.0.5)
and not to other addresses.
* None can access the ISP net (192.168.120.xxx); this is currently
not true: the cost can access it. I need it in order to setup the
VPN. Is there any way to close this door after the VPN is up?
* Sometimes some "internal" PC (in the GREEN net 192.168.0.xxx) gets
a dhcp address in the range 129.168.120.xxx; probably gettingit
from the dhacp server in the ISP's router and not from IPCop.
Invariably a "sudo dhclient" cures the issue. What's happening there?
* What are the security isues of such a setup?
Can someone enlighten me?

Mauro
