hello all, I am trying to share vpn connection between my network without any luck. I do have an office with Several PC's and we share the internet connection using iptables and our DNS server we also have Mail and FTP Server. Our ISP keep changing there rules and they start blocking some port like 25, 21 and 143. so the best solution i could think of is to use vpn service with a static ip address to use instead of my ISP ip address. I do need all my computer in my local network to be using the VPN ip address and not my ISP ip address. my network infrastructure is like this dsl modem 10.0.0.1 255.255.255.192 Main DNS server with 2 NIC's: /etc/network/interfaces auto lo eth0 eth1 iface lo inet loopback #internet iface eth0 inet static address 10.0.0.2 netmask 255.255.255.192 gateway 10.0.0.1 #local iface eth1 inet static address 10.0.1.1 netmask 255.255.255.240 /etc/resolv.conf nameserver 127.0.0.1 /etc/bind/options.conf options { directory "/var/cache/bind"; forwarders {208.67.222.222; 208.67.220.220;}; auth-nxdomain no; allow-query { any; }; recursion no; version "0"; listen-on-v6 { any; }; }; My iptables EXTIF="eth0" EXTIP="`/sbin/ifconfig eth0 | grep 'inet addr' | awk '{print $2}' | sed -e 's/.*://'`" #whick is 10.0.0.2 INTIF="eth1" # Enter the designation for the Internal Interface's INTNET="10.0.1.0/28" # Enter the NETWORK address the Internal Interface is on INTIP="10.0.1.1" # Enter the IP address of the Internal Interface UNIVERSE="0.0.0.0/0" /sbin/depmod -a /sbin/modprobe ip_tables /sbin/modprobe ip_conntrack /sbin/modprobe ip_conntrack_ftp /sbin/modprobe ip_conntrack_irc /sbin/modprobe iptable_nat /sbin/modprobe ip_nat_ftp /sbin/modprobe ip_nat_irc echo "1" > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward echo "1" > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_dynaddr iptables -P INPUT DROP iptables -F INPUT iptables -P OUTPUT DROP iptables -F OUTPUT iptables -P FORWARD DROP iptables -F FORWARD iptables -F -t nat if [ "`iptables -L | grep drop-and-log-it`" ]; then iptables -F drop-and-log-it fi iptables -X iptables -Z iptables -N drop-and-log-it iptables -A drop-and-log-it -j LOG --log-level info iptables -A drop-and-log-it -j REJECT iptables -A INPUT -i lo -s $UNIVERSE -d $UNIVERSE -j ACCEPT iptables -A INPUT -i $INTIF -s $INTNET -d $UNIVERSE -j ACCEPT iptables -A INPUT -i $EXTIF -s $INTNET -d $UNIVERSE -j drop-and-log-it iptables -A INPUT -i $EXTIF -s $UNIVERSE -d $EXTIP -j ACCEPT iptables -A INPUT -i $EXTIF -s $UNIVERSE -d $EXTIP -m state --state ESTABLISHED,RELATED -j ACCEPT iptables -A INPUT -s $UNIVERSE -d $UNIVERSE -j drop-and-log-it iptables -A OUTPUT -o lo -s $UNIVERSE -d $UNIVERSE -j ACCEPT iptables -A OUTPUT -o $INTIF -s $EXTIP -d $INTNET -j ACCEPT iptables -A OUTPUT -o $INTIF -s $INTIP -d $INTNET -j ACCEPT iptables -A OUTPUT -o $EXTIF -s $UNIVERSE -d $INTNET -j drop-and-log-it iptables -A OUTPUT -o $EXTIF -s $EXTIP -d $UNIVERSE -j ACCEPT iptables -A OUTPUT -s $UNIVERSE -d $UNIVERSE -j drop-and-log-it Cloud=10.0.1.4 Port=8080 iptables -A FORWARD -i $EXTIF -o $INTIF -m state --state ESTABLISHED,RELATED -j ACCEPT iptables -A FORWARD -i $INTIF -o $EXTIF -j ACCEPT iptables -A FORWARD -i $EXTIF -o $INTIF -d $Cloud -p tcp --dport $Port -j ACCEPT iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -i $EXTIF -d $EXTIP -p tcp --dport $Port -j DNAT --to $Cloud iptables -A FORWARD -j drop-and-log-it iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -o $EXTIF -j SNAT --to $EXTIP With those setting i am able to share my internet connection, however, when i try to connect to vpn server using openvpn it seem i am connect to the vpn server but i dont have any internet connectivity even on the dns server. here route -n output before the VPN established and after. before route -n Kernel IP routing table Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use Iface 10.0.1.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.240 U 0 0 0 eth1 10.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.192 U 0 0 0 eth0 0.0.0.0 10.0.0.1 0.0.0.0 UG 100 0 0 eth0 after route -n Kernel IP routing table Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use Iface 174.37.222.38 10.0.0.1 255.255.255.255 UGH 0 0 0 eth0 10.0.1.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.240 U 0 0 0 eth1 10.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.192 U 0 0 0 eth0 10.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 255.0.0.0 U 0 0 0 tun0 0.0.0.0 10.10.11.1 128.0.0.0 UG 0 0 0 tun0 128.0.0.0 10.10.11.1 128.0.0.0 UG 0 0 0 tun0 0.0.0.0 10.0.0.1 0.0.0.0 UG 1 0 0 eth0 Mail server /etc/network/interfaces auto lo iface lo inet loopback # The primary network interface auto eth0 iface eth0 inet static address 10.0.1.3 netmask 255.255.255.240 gateway 10.0.1.1 /etc/resolv.conf nameserver 10.0.1.1 Other clients on local network address 10.0.1.x netmask 255.255.255.240 gateway 10.0.1.1 nameserver 10.0.1.1 I really have no idea what should i be doing or if there is something wrong i should change, therefore if anyone could help me or point me to the right direction that would be grate. Any help would be much appreciated. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe netfilter" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
