Hi, I have been using iptables for quite a while, but ran into this problem the other day when I reconfigured the ip4 networks. I have three open networks connected via IPsec. Hosts on two of the open networks (192.168.2.10/24 and 192.168.3.10/24) can ping each other via the IPsec connection and I can see logs printed for ICMP as they are forwarded ("filter forward" table) and then out after they've go through the "xfrm encode" steps. If I try to ping the other network (192.168.1.0/24) from the local host (192.168.2.10), I can see the ICMP packet enter the system (using tcpdump) and it even gets to the "nat prerouting" table, but after that it is gone! I've logged at "mangle input and forward" tables and even the link-layer at "mangle forward" table. Nothing! There is only 'DROP' jumps in my rules after forwarding has taken place. It seems to be dropped at "routing decision" [according to the "Packet flow in netfilter and general networking" diagram of Jan Engelhardt of 28/02/2014] Is there a way to see what packets are dropped due to routing issues? My routing table is: ~#ip r 192.168.254.252/30 dev dbg proto kernel scope link src 192.168.254.253 172.21.6.0/24 dev black proto kernel scope link src 172.21.6.171 192.168.2.0/24 dev red proto kernel scope link src 192.168.2.1 192.168.0.0/24 dev man proto kernel scope link src 192.168.0.202 127.0.0.0/8 dev lo scope link default via 172.21.6.5 dev black As you can see I have a 'dbg' interface, an external IPsec interface 'black', an internal open interface 'red' and a management interface 'man'. The default is out on the 'black' interface with IPsec via the ADSL router. It cannot be the IPsec config since the packet to this specific target network is never forwarded and therefore never reaches the "xfrm lookup". And a ping to the other network succeeds completely in both ways. Any thoughs? Thanks for your time - appreciated.
