I am struggling to figure this out and do not know what to try next, so
am asking for help. I am missing something simple, no doubt.
Setting up a network gateway at home. Ultimately, I want to have a
backup internet, with fiber first then cable as a back-up. This is to
replace a Unifi solution that I started to use during the pandemic,
which maybe is not a good idea given the issues I am already having. :)
I am just able to assign addresses, which it is now doing. I can 'ping'
and 'host' and ssh into the gateway from the client Openbsd computer. I
can also ping and host on the gateway computer running Fuguita (Openbsd
7.9 release). I am able to 'dig @9.9.9.9 openbsd.org' and traceroute -I
is working as well. However, I cannot load any web pages and
applications, like Profanity, cannot login as they seemingly cannot find
the hosting site (conversations.im). Disabling pf does not change this
behavior.
Did you enable IP forwarding?
Yes.
# cat >>/etc/sysctl.conf <<EOF
net.inet.ip.forwarding=1
EOF
# sysctl net.inet.ip.forwarding=1
Thank you Ken for the suggestion. This has been on for some time
already. I also have inet6 forwarding on, just in case.
