Hi Tom,
I'm having a tough time getting this all straight.
My systemd OpenVPN.service has
Wants=network-online.target shorewall-lite.service
After=syslog.target network-online.target shorewall-lite.service
According to systemd docs
"Wants=: This directive is similar to Requires=, but less strict. Systemd
will attempt to start any units listed here when this unit is activated. If
these units are not found or fail to start, the current unit will continue to
function. This is the recommended way to configure most dependency
relationships. Again, this implies a parallel activation unless modified by
other directives."
So REMOVE the dependency in both Wants/After on 'shorewall-lite'?
My firewall's 'interfaces' has
vpn VPNIF
optional,physical=tun1,routefilter=0,logmartians=0,routeback=1
This is clear
"- Don't make the TUN interface 'optional'."
So that changes
- vpn VPNIF
optional,physical=tun1,routefilter=0,logmartians=0,routeback=1
+ vpn VPNIF physical=tun1,routefilter=0,logmartians=0,routeback=1
Not sure what to do with this one,
"- Don't use any option for the TUN interface in /etc/shorewall
/interfaces that causes a change in /proc/sys/net/config/."
When I look in there
cd /proc/sys/net/
ls
bridge/ core/ ipv4/ ipv6/ netfilter/ nf_conntrack_max
unix/
What changes do I look for?
And for this one
"- Don't name the TUN interface in the SOURCE column of the masq file."
In my masq file I've got this
#IFC:DEST SRC ADDRESS PROTO PORT(S)
...
VPNIF:10.1.1.53 10.254.254.1 10.1.10.53 tcp,udp 53
so that 2 DNS servers, one local and one on the remote, can talk to each other
over the VPN link. It does what it's supposed to.
That 10.254.254.1 is the remote's end of the VPN tunnel, the IP of its tun1
interface
tun1: flags=4305<UP,POINTOPOINT,RUNNING,NOARP,MULTICAST> mtu 1500
inet 10.254.254.1 netmask 255.255.255.0 destination
10.254.254.1
I'm not sure what you mean by "Don't name the TUN interface". Don't USE that
10.254.254.1 IP address? Or don't use a literal name?
What SHOULD I be using in this one?
