Description

Where you have a system with two WANs, such as WAN1 and WAN2, when sourcing traffic from a host on the WAN1's IP subnet to a 1:1 NAT on WAN2, connectivity does not work. The SYN is passed in correctly, the internal host responds with its SYN ACK, but the firewall sends that SYN ACK out of WAN1, with the private IP as the source IP.

Ermal committed a potential fix for this today, just opening this for tracking.

Here's some hard data describing the problem. The host "lisa.muug.mb.ca" is connected nearby via MRNet, but still needs to send email via the Terago (public) interface. The most obvious symptom is that email stops working for all MRNet-connected hosts (which includes all of CA*Net, Internet2, etc. - all research & education sites, basically), but this does affect all NAT'd connections as far as I can tell. I ran "nc remote.c3a.ca 25" from lisa.muug.mb.ca to generate these traces - "telnet remote.c3a.ca 25" or just sending an email produces the same behaviour.

Note that the reply's source address is correct, it's just leaving out the wrong interface. So the NAT is half-working... this looks like something that I ought to be able to work around using reply-to rules, no?

Updated by Adam Thompson over 13 years ago

I finally had a chance to upgrade, and I'm sorry, but this still doesn't work (for me).
Now testing with 2.0-BETA4 (i386) built on Fri Nov 5 01:04:55 EDT 2010 FreeBSD 8.1-RELEASE-p1.

Using the exact same scenario as above, I still see the reply traffic trying to leave on em2 instead of em3.
In fact, it looks like I see exactly the same behaviour as previously documented.

1) do I need to be running a different binary snapshot to test this?
2) are you sure I don't need to specify a gateway or anything special in the firewall rules? Right now, the inbound NAT rule is a floating rule...

Can you show some debugging info's?!

Updated by Adam Thompson over 13 years ago

As I mentioned in #7, the tcpdump output didn't change at all after updating to the snapshot mentioned there.

So the debug output is still identical what what I posted in #2.

I'll update after business hours today and re-test.

Please let me know what other tracing/debug information might help fix this problem, I'll be happy to provide that as soon as possible.

I know you said it wasn't relevant, but I tried setting the Gateway parameter on the firewall rule: no effect whatsoever, reply packets still aren't going the right way.

Can you post your config here?
Please sanitize you ip's but leave the subnets real per se.
I still do not understand why you say it does not work! Please post even /tmp/rules.debug to check.

Updated by Adam Thompson over 13 years ago

I've just upgraded and confirmed that it does work perfectly for port-forward NAT, but it does still break for 1:1 NAT.

I'll email you an unencrypted config.xml (as-is, not anonymized) separately for now, to your @pfsense.org address - I'll be late for an appointment if I stop to sanitize the data right now!

 #14

Updated by Ermal Luçi over 13 years ago

Can you please try adding rules to your opt2 interface to allow the traffic for all your 1:1 ips.
This will make sure that reply-to is added to rules for those addresses and that will make sure it will work.

Since you are doing this from floating rules there is no reply-to added to the resulting rules and that is your problem.

Well, I did mention it was a floating rule, back in comment #7...

Adding the rules to the specific interface works perfectly.

Thank you for making this work!!!
