The first rule of dn42 is always disable rp_filter
. The second rule of dn42
is always disable rp_filter
. The third rule of dn42 is to allow ip forwarding!
No serious, in case some packets are dropped check first if your settings are correct.
rp_filter
also known as reverse path filtering is a security measure,
which drop packages, where the reverse route to the source interface
does not match the source address of the package. However this often happens in dn42,
because routes can be asymmetric (packets can take different routes on the return path).
That is why rp_filter
needs to be disabled:
Note using sysctl is not persistent. Depending on your linux distribution put it into /etc/sysctl.conf
or /etc/sysctl.d
sysctl -w net.ipv4.conf.all.rp_filter=0 net.ipv4.conf.default.rp_filter=0
Check that its really disabled:
sysctl -a | grep rp_filter
Also the following options must be set.
$ sysctl -w net.ipv4.conf.all.forwarding=1 net.ipv6.conf.all.forwarding=1
Check that ALL your vpn interfaces allow ip forwarding for ipv6/ipv4.
$ sysctl -a | grep forwarding
Happy Routing!
