Oops, you are correct. I was doing my initial testing on the client
(since it's my primary desktop) and didn't look closely at at the
routes that were getting set up.

The good news, though, is that now I can get away without route labels
even before the sec(4) code gets merged. Since the flows that are
visible in the PF_KEY socket are tunneled routes only, I can apply the
following reasoning: for this use case, any flow (not route) for which
one side is a single address and the other side is "::" (for "any") is
one that needs to be proxied. So now my monitoring program needs to
monitor two sockets instead of one, but I don't have to make any
changes to iked to support it.

As Zack may have figured out earlier, I am in fact using Vultr. Their
IPv6 guide for OpenBSD specifically says they use routeradv,
neighbrsol, and neighbradv ICMPv6 messages to identify the active IP
addresses, and they also specifically permit the addition of additional
IPv6 addresses to the same interface. Source:

https://www.vultr.com/docs/configuring-ipv6-on-your-vps/#IPv6_on_OpenBSD

The consensus in this thread seems to be that Vultr is doing it wrong
and their bad decisions will cause problems both for them (because
their gateway router is susceptible to NDP cache exhaustion from
external scans even if I don't do anything creative with my host
configuration) and for me (because I've spent the last week in a
fifteen-email exchange about figuring out how to make down with a /64
instead of using that time to figure out how to configure dhcpcd and
rad to make use of the /56 that is my IETF birthright). I won't try to
defend Vultr's IPv6 choices here; I can only say that since they're
explicitly telling me to use NDP to request IPv6 addresses then they
won't change that behavior behind my back without telling me.

In Vultr's defense, they did only assign me a single IPv4 address. You
would probably counter, "Yes, but if you want your VPN connection to
support IPv4 when the server has a single address then you have to use
NAT, which you can also do with IPv6. If you want to avoid using NAT,
then for IPv4 you should request another address and for IPv6 you
should request a larger subnet." And to *that* I will admit that Vultr
has an option to buy additional IPv4 addresses but doesn't have an
option to increase the size of your IPv6 subnet. Presumably this is
where you and Zack would both say, "Exactly, that's the problem."

So OK, the final conclusions here seem to be:

- Vultr is bad for not offering a way to allocate and statically route
  a larger subnet. (Note that it would also work for me if they
  statically routed the entire /64 to my VPS instead of filtering it in
  their gateway router, but they don't offer a way to do that either.)

- The NDP proxy trick is too hacky to justify making changes to iked to
  make it easier to implement.

- I can still automate NDP proxying by creating a second process that
  monitors the PF_KEY socket for changes to the "flow table" to get the
  tunnel addresses so it can enable and disable NDP proxying when
  clients connect and disconnect. Even better, I should be able to do
  this without any

Why did you expect that?

192.168.1.79 is your local IP, which is on the interface with a link to 
the default gateway.

If you have multiple IPs and you want to force iked to use a specific

Just a guess, since I have never worked with trusted public keys, but 
maybe you have to copy the clients local.pub it into

(not /etc/iked/pubkeys/fqdn/roadwarrior/local.pub)
or

Check that your AC power plug is connected to the ground. Possibly
plug the computer in another plug, in another room, and see if this
makes any difference.

FWIW, I managed to reduce similar noises by putting ferrite rings on
most cables, the HDMI cable was a significant source of noise in my
case. I didn't try to put ferrite rings on the internal cables
(ex. those between the power supply and the motherboard), but it might
make sense as well.

Certain motherboards are just not well designed and noise might
remain, no matter what you do. A good audio interface would solve this
problem, assuming you're using speakers that don't generate noise or
passive headphones.

HTH


I'm definitely going to try different outlets later on, along with a
few other tests dealing with the power delivery. Fortunately the
noise is light so I can wait until a better time to disconnect and
move things around.

In your case, were the noises loud and audible through speakers?
Also, how did you determine which cables needed ferrite rings?

Yes, when I first noticed the noise, I tested the earphones with a
MacBook Pro, and there weren't any audible sounds at all (silent as
far as my ears could measure). Before installing OpenBSD on this
computer, it was running Windows 11 for about 8 months, and I never
noticed any noises, but I can't guarantee they weren't there either.
I'm going to do some additional testing soon, and one thing I want to
try is to load up a Linux live environment with working audio. As far

and not affected by volume level).

I advise finding out what the problem is before buying anything new. 
You
might find the same problem getting passed through another audio 
device.

I suspect that you will need to fix a hardware problem.
Don't assume that audio noise is in software.
You are surrounded by 50/60Hz noise caused by the power in your
house/office/workshop.


I agree. I've been looking at audio interfaces for a while, and wouldn't
buy one simply to avoid noise.


Electrolytic capacitors can go bad (Even brand new capacitors can be
defective). Look up bad motherboard capacitors and you can find some
pretty good pictures and information. You can find some good YouTube
videos on it too.

I would also suspect grounding problems as a possibility.
Which can mean bad connections with cables even if they look good.
You can be having a power supply problem too.
Check for loose motherboard screws.

Are you using the computer with the cover off?
Do you get these noises with the computer on, but then turning off the
monitor and moving the mouse around?

Nope, the cover's on. I didn't turn the monitor off, but I did 
disconnect

the display port cable, and the noises were still present.

Is your electrical wiring done properly? Do you have any other 
equipment

hooked up that might be causing ground loops? Excellent videos on
YouTube about ground loops and audio problems. Do you have any OLD 
radio

or TV equipment that could be latching onto the computer noise and
amplifying it?

Also, if you can, go unplug (not turn off) things around that could be
defective. For example, I have to throw away 3-4 USB chargers every
year. Nowadays, hardly anything is actually turned off anymore.

I used to hear noises like these too, but that was a long time ago...
I could hear them in my memory while reading your email.


Thanks for the ideas. I've compiled a list of additional tests I want to

We do not know each other so I finally was guessing you are BSD dev testing

If it is not like that I can't reccomend to anyone working in PHP to invest its 
machine resources
in this way, just that. So it was difficult to follow your intent from the

As a php developer I kindly reccomend to keep things simple and you will see

init.d is not an OpenBSD thing. And my issue is not running multiple versions

I don’t speak Italian. So I don’t get your comment.

But if you are implying that maybe I should not be using OpenBSD because of a

So will you fix all of the (3rd party) code that may have issues for me? Theory 
and dogmatic concepts are fine. But there is also real life™. And there are 
other reasons for wanting to use older versions of PHP as well. For example 
compatibility testing.

That said, sure PHP 8.2 is great for new projects. And I am using it where it 
makes sense.

Not relevant to the issue. A PHP-FPM process can only handle one version of 
PHP. My issue is with maintaining multiple PHP-FPM versions as stated in the 
subject.

Just because you can’t think of a reason to use multiple web servers, that does 
not mean others can’t have valid reasons. And I fail to see what would be 
gained by using a reverse proxy to somehow mitigate the imagined reasons for 
your premise. It only adds complexity and has its own issues. And this is 
completely irrelevant to my issue.


>> - multi webservers are surely a huge angle hole in your "resource room".

What is an »angle hole«? And what do you mean by »resource room«. I’m sorry, 
but your version of English is often littered with what seem to be phrases and 
literal translations from your native language that make no sense in English. 
So whatever you think multiple web servers surly are, it is not relevant to my 
issue (see subject of this email).


>> 
>> I do not know, are you maybe building your machine for testing purpose?

Yes I do have legitmate reasons for wanting to run multiple versions of PHP in 
parallel. Testing is one reason. Compatibility is another. Not that it matters 
for the issue at hand.

None of your comments address the issue I am having. On-topic comments to the

2023-07-10 Thread Zack Newman

I'm sure this is obvious to people, but just in case it is not:


I pay $25/month for my VPS, and I think I could bring that down to $10
or $15 if I wanted. My VPS routes me a /48 IPv6 network...


I clearly meant "My VPS _provider_ routes me...".



Re: IPsec "road warrior" VPN not getting set up properly.

2023-07-10 Thread Zack Newman

Before I essentially echo back what Stuart said, let me clarify
something. I don't really recommend NAT over NDP proxying more than the
other way around. I was merely stating that a hack is a hack is a hack.
If you are forced to use a hack, then insisting on one over the other
is bizarre unless one legitimately solves something the other doesn't.
Personally, I would use NAT since it is more familiar to me.

What I am still befuddled by is your insistence on sticking with your
incompetent VPS provider. I sympathize with your plight vis-a-vis a
residential ISP. It is not uncommon to have monopolies/duopolies
dominate a particular residential ISP market; so if they are
incompetent, then you're SOL. VPS providers, however, are a dime a
dozen.

Why would you want to stick with a VPS provider that (un)knowingly
does not adhere to RFCs? If they don't follow one RFC, then I wouldn't
be surprised if they don't follow others. To me I don't view it much
differently than insisting on renting a laptop with malfunctioning
hardware or BIOS/UEFI and waving $200 at kernel developers to hack
around the bugs. They might; but even if they do, is it not better to
solve the problem at the root (i.e., rent a functioning laptop)?

I pay $25/month for my VPS, and I think I could bring that down to $10
or $15 if I wanted. My VPS routes me a /48 IPv6 network via a link-local
address and a /29 IPv4 network via a private address. I have two
WireGuard interfaces: one for "normal" peers where they connect to this
VPN server via WireGuard software (e.g., the Android app) and another
for my server/router at home which subsequently gets routed a /56 IPv6
block and the whole /29 IPv4 block. Bam. Finito. No BGP, no problem. I
get to stay within the cozy confines of good ole routing. No hacks or
other shenanigans. It just works.

Just in case people misinterpret above: I am _not_ recommending this
over BGP if you have the money/resources for BGP. Obviously you want
the shortest routes possible and avoid any overhead associated with a
VPN.

Actually I think that is relevant. At least, if you just had one running
php-fpm daemon per version, you totally avoid the problem.

With a single daemon per version, remove the extra added phpXX_fpm
copies, instead follow the suggestion after "If you need to run multiple
versions of PHP on one machine" in php's pkg-readme.

This is a bit awkward to do; the rc script would then need to
parse the phpXX_fpm_flags variable and figure out what string php-fpm
will use when it sets the process name (i.e. look for -y or --fpm-config
and parse them the same way that php-fpm itself does).

Yes it is possible to do that, but it's definitely more fragile, and
considering that the main purpose of php-fpm is to run multiple copies
of php for different environments anyway, it seems a bit redundant to
run multiple copies of the same version of php-fpm.

Though the existing pexp is slightly less flexible, IMHO it's enough for
most use cases, and it doesn't really seem worth the extra fragility to
do this differently.

Currently iked (and isakmpd) use flows, not routes. These use messages
on the PF_KEY socket not the route socket. (If I watch route -nv monitor
while iked starts and brings up tunnels, I don't see any messages).

IIUC the parts you found which currently exist are for the "iface"
option which tells an iked initiator (a machine, typically but not
necessarily mobile) to use mode-config to fetch an address, and
configure it on an interface.

There is a diff for route-based IPsec which does use the route table
(https://marc.info/?l=openbsd-tech=168844868110327=2), but I think
if you were using that, you could just look for messages relating to
sec(4) interfaces anyway and not have to worry about labels?


>> NDP proxying is also vulnerable to NDP cache DoS.

It's more than just NDP proxying that results in this. Put a big chunk
of address space on an interface that requires IP-to-physical address
resolution and you end up having to do that resolution for a bunch of
junk traffic coming from the internet. Say someone does some kind of
sweep looking for hosts and sending unsolicited traffic to a bunch of
addresses within a prefix, each address attempt will result in having
to try to resolve that address. Whether it's successful or not, some
work must be done for that (e.g. slow-path lookups on the gateway
router, caching, etc).

FWIW if I was a VPS/colo provider wanting to keep router resources low,
I would probably assign a single address from a /64 to the customer
machine/VM, and filter traffic from the internet so that packets to
other addresses in the /64 are blocked - so junk traffic would not
trigger junk NDP attempts..

(alternatively it's possible to use link-locals for that one "route
via" address, though I would prefer to have that on a routable address
for ease of debugging - traceroutes etc).

Then for any additional addresses I'd route either multiple /64's,
or a /56 or /48, via that one address - that way NDP is only ever done
for the one address and it's likely to stay in cache.

If you're on a low end VPS that is not already doing filtering like
this, you may find that later on they change to implement that, when
they figure out why the L3 switch they're using as a router is
running out of steam when handling junk traffic...

I think you're thinking of having a subnet routed across as something
that is going to cause more pain for the upstream provider.

The reality is the opposite.

If the provider doesn't understand this, there are probably a few
other things they don't understand too, it would be a bit of a red
flag for me.

Yes there are a huge number of addresses in a /64, but really a /64
is what providers are expected to assign where they would assign an
individual address for IPv4.

For a situation where you'd have a couple of addresses with v4,
with v6 it's really normal to have a /56 or /48.




Maintaining multiple PHP-FPM versions on the same host

2023-07-10 Thread Mike Fischer
Hi!

I’m trying to figure out the best way to maintain multiple php-fpm setups at 
the same time and ran into a somewhat annoying issue.

I’m not sure how many other users might have a similar situation? If this 
something too non-standard, let me know and I’ll shut up ;-)


Background
==

The server supports multiple versions of PHP for websites using php-fpm. There 
are also multiple web servers running at the same time (on different IP/port 
combinations obviously). Specifically OpenBSD httpd and Apache httpd from ports.

OpenBSD httpd runs in its normal chroot(2) environment. Apache httpd does not 
use chroot(2). This requires corresponding setups for php-fpm as well. Using 
e.g. a non-chroot(2) php-fpm with OpenBSD httpd does not work.

Each php-fpm variant uses its own socket. So changing the PHP version for a web 
server (or even for just certain paths on that server) is as easy as pointing 
to the correct socket for the FastCGI mechanism of the web server.


Setup
=

All available PHP Versions are supported and configured. I.e. 7.4, 8.0, 8.1 and 
8.2 for OpenBSD 7.3.

I have adjusted /etc/php-7.4.ini, /etc/php-8.0.ini, etc. as required

I have created and modified /etc/php-fpm-7.4cr.conf, /etc/php-fpm-7.4ncr.conf, 
/etc/php-fpm-8.0cr.conf, /etc/php-fpm-8.0ncr.conf, etc. The default 
/etc/php-fpm.conf is not actively used.

I have copied the /etc/rc.d/phpXX_fpm files and modified them to:
- use the appropriate /etc/php-fpm.conf (/etc/php-fpm-7.4cr.conf, 
/etc/php-fpm-7.4ncr.conf, /etc/php-fpm-8.0cr.conf, /etc/php-fpm-8.0ncr.conf, 
etc.)
- use the appropriate /etc/php.ini (/etc/php-7.4.ini, /etc/php-8.0.ini, 
/etc/php-8.1.ini and /etc/php-8.2.ini)
- adjust the pexp to match the php-fpm.conf in addition to "php-fpm-7.4: master 
process", e.g. "php-fpm-7.4: master process .*/etc/php-fpm-7.4cr.conf.*", etc.

Thus I have:
/etc/rc.d/php74cr_fpm
/etc/rc.d/php74ncr_fpm
/etc/rc.d/php80cr_fpm
/etc/rc.d/php80ncr_fpm
/etc/rc.d/php81cr_fpm
/etc/rc.d/php81ncr_fpm
/etc/rc.d/php82cr_fpm
/etc/rc.d/php82ncr_fpm

And all of these have been enabled using `rcctl enable php74cr_fpm php74ncr_fpm 
php80cr_fpm php80ncr_fpm php81cr_fpm php81ncr_fpm php82cr_fpm php82ncr_fpm` and 
of course started using `rcctl start …`.

For example:
# cat /etc/rc.d/php82cr_fpm
#!/bin/ksh

daemon="/usr/local/sbin/php-fpm-8.2"
daemon_flags="-c /etc/php-8.2-cr.ini -y /etc/php-fpm-82cr.conf"

. /etc/rc.d/rc.subr

pexp="php-fpm-8.2: master process .*/etc/php-fpm-82cr.conf.*"
rc_reload=NO

rc_cmd $1
# 


(Note: I know this could be further reduced to just one master process for each 
version with a chroot(2) and a non-chroot(2) pool defined in the single 
php-fpm.conf for each PHP version. But that is irrelevant to the issue at hand.)


Issue
=

`rcctl ls started` lists php74_fpm, php80_fpm, php81_fpm and php82_fpm as 
started even though they are neither enabled nor started!

The reason this happens is the pexp which is too general. E.g. for php74_fpm it 
is pexp="php-fpm-7.4: master process .*"

Modifying this to e.g. pexp="php-fpm-7.4: master process .*/etc/php-fpm.conf.*" 
solves the problem.

BUT: /etc/rc.d/php74_fpm will be overwritten when the php-7.4 port ist updated. 
(Same for the other versions of course.) So my change is lost and has to be 
reapplied. If I forget about this then at a later time I’ll become confused by 
the output of `rcctl ls started`.


Questions
=

1) Is there a better, update-proof way to solve this problem?

2) Would it make sense to include the more specific pexp in the PHP ports? (I 
don’t think doing so would hurt the default use case, but maybe I’m overlooking 
something?)

Thank you to the many people who replied, both privately and here in
misc@.  But, in hindsight I didn't express my actual question very well.
What I should have written was more like this:

  I'm looking for a web hosting provider based in Canada.  That is,
  I'm looking for a provider who will host my html, jpeg, css, etc.,
  files on their web server and manage certificates and DNS entries
  for my domain.  I don't need super-high performance (the websites will
  be relatively small, low-traffic, and static), but I'd like a provider
  based in Canada whose interface and "management console" don't require
  a proprietory Windows/Mac/Android client.  Any recommendations?

I'm sorry for confusing people with my original sloppily-worded query.

thanks, ciao,
